Indigo Ridge by Devney Perry
4.0
Winslow is a female cop who moved back to be the new chief in her home town, where her grandfather is mayor. A little bit of nepotism if you ask me, however Winslow is a good cop. She gave badass girl energy and as a female main character she didn't have any annoying qualities, she was reasonable and down to earth during the entire thing and I love female characters like that. I just relate to them so much more.
I relate to female characters who don't have any unnecessary quirky traits, who are assertive, hard-working and reasonable. Her inner dialogues were super easy to follow and it was such a smooth ride.
Speaking of ride, on her first day in town, she meets a man at a bar who says he doesn't live there, and they end up f*cking in the back seat of his truck. The day after she realizes they both lied to each other, she's the new Sheriff and he owns all the ranches in town.
I mean, you go girl. I would have done exactly the same if he wasn't a cowboy.
Cowboys aren't really my thing, but if they are yours, you are going to love this.
Every time she mentioned that Griffin had a cowboy belt, boots and hat and ran a farm, this is all I could see:
I'd get instantly dry. My aversion to cowboys aside.. Griffin actually won me over by the end of this, I just had to picture him in jeans and a normal t-shirt, remove the cowboy hat and boots and we were SETTLED, cause this man has got a mouth on him.
*sings the song: have you ever been f*cked, f*cked, f*cked by a country boy, rammed, rammed by a redneck*
I did listen to this on audible, and if you are an audible girl, I guarantee you... JASON'S VOICE FOR GRIFFING ruined me. Both narrators on this did such an amazing job. I believe half of my rating for this at this moment is because of how amazing the narration for this book was, of course the good writing also had a role in it.
Anyway, back to the plot. Griffin runs the ranches around the small town, where they find a body of a girl everyone thinks k!lled herself. Winslow disagrees, so she has to keep the investigation running and they keep bumping into each other and they realize that their one night stand was more addicting than they initially thought. So they decide to have casual sex for a while.
The sex scenes were awesome, we get a happy ending, double male and female pov. Griffin is rough, but not cringy, he actually gets pretty romantic at the end and we get some pretty exciting plot twits and high-stake scenes.
You know me, I adore anything cop related. This was so enjoyable and I am so impressed, that by the end of it, even if I am not 100% attracted to cowboys, I can look past that and say Griffin can country boy my as* any time.
Amazing writing, plot, characters, this was possibly a 3/5 spice on the scale. The first sex scene is fade to black, but later on we get several different scenes that are definitely butterfly inducing with some amazing dirty talk. Nothing too crazy, but hits the spot. Just a really good time with a well written book, will definitely pick up Juniper or other books Devney has written because, honestly:
