BOOK REVIEW- MAVERICK SHERIFF- Saving a little boy's life reopens painful wounds for Texas sheriff Cooper McKinnon. This could be his son, whose loss has haunted him for two years. But Cooper has a formidable adversary in Jessa Wells. She's the adoptive mother—and she'll do anything to hold on to Liam.
It's cruel justice that the man who shares Liam's rare blood type has an unsolved murder in his own family. And the danger's far from over. Fighting her desire for Cooper, Jessa has no choice but to join forces with the maverick cowboy. Jessa knows working together is their best shot at keeping the child safe. But it's the possibility of a future alone that breaks Jessa's heart. AMAZON
I really liked this story. It was intense, emotional, with lots of action. Oh, and plenty of dysfunction in Cooper's family. Also with quite a few of them in law enforcement in one form or another. The brothers definitely knew the meaning of havng each others back and lived it. Jessa was smart and tough and didn't back down from much. She might not have been quite so smart when it came to the adopting of her son but she loved him fiercely. This story had PLENTY of twists and turns and red herrings.
Yes, there was also a developing romance in the midst of Jessa and Cooper doing everything they can do to protect Liam. There was also a few secondary stories adding to the tension.
On a side note- I'm not sure the author was aware of how much she used the word, "huffed" in the story. It was a little distracting after a while. Maybe that's just me, maybe other readers didn't notice.
There is also an excerpt from another book included. "Way of the Shadows" by Cynthia Eden. It was just a quick look but it sounds interesting too.
