From the New York Times best-selling author of the Marked Men series comes an irresistible romance about a rugged Texas sheriff who must protect the woman who was once his sworn enemy....

Case Lawton comes from a family of criminals. So as the sheriff of Loveless, Texas, he's determined to do everything by the book - until he's called to Aspen Barlow's office after a so-called break-in. The last thing he wants to do is help the woman who cost him custody of his son. But Aspen isn't the heartless lawyer Case remembers, and he starts to question his long-held grudge....

Aspen is scared for her life, and Case is her last hope for protection. But to get him on her side, she'll have to reveal the painful truth from all those years ago. Now, as they work together to track down a dangerous criminal, Case and Aspen learn to trust each other. And as the threats escalate, it becomes clear there's a thin line between love and hate...because there's nothing Case wouldn't do to keep her safe.

This book...WOW...now in my ‘unputdownable’ list!
It’s no secret around town that Sheriff Case Lawton can’t stand divorce lawyer, Aspen Barlow, after all, she’s the reason that he lost custody of his son 10yrs ago! Of course, it didn’t help that his father, then sheriff, was a known corrupt lawman and had tried to bribe the judge. Now Case has to put his animosity aside and investigate the threats against Aspen. But sometimes things aren’t what they seem.
Aspen was 14yo when her family had moved to the small Texas town and the only person who had been kind to her was Case Lawton. Fast forward several years later and Aspen is present when Case is served with divorce papers. When she attempts to give him advice, Case lashes out at Aspen...his loss, literally, because Aspen was then hired to represent his ex-wife and she took away everything that meant something to him. Except, that wasn’t the entire story. Unbeknownst to Case, Aspen had worked in his best interest.
When Case is forced to take Aspen into protective custody, he begins to see a different side to her. Can he forgive and allow his feelings to grow? Or will the threat to Aspen take her out of his life for good?
Riveting story with lots of suspense...you will be blown away by the person behind Aspen’s threats! Definitely a must read/listen.

I enjoyed Jay’s last (cowboy) series but I don’t know something was missing for me in it. Don’t get me wrong I still really enjoyed but I am putting it out here this book is AWESOME!

The narration is fantastic Virginia Rose is quickly becoming an auto-buy for me. She really does voices too well. Austin Stone was grrrrreat! Lol, no joke he was Case!

The characters are perfect well not really but the way Jay wrote them they are. You really get a sense of who each one is and how they fit. I loved the feel of this book it was a second chance but not really.

I loved the mystery the suspense it really brought the story to another level, I never would have guessed seriously nope I LOVED THAT! It wasn’t predictable YAY!

I want more like yesterday but I can wait, I hope we get Case’s sister next ;)

I WANT MORE!

Cowboys are always interesting in love stories and this is a predictable outcome but the details of how you get there are quite interesting. It was read very very nicely and it made you want to continue the story even when you maybe wanted to put it down which honestly I did not. Again predictable outcome but if your in it for the in between give it a go.

Lovely

Ok , this is the first book I've listened to by Jay Crown over and overall I'm glad I did! After reading the first couple chapters I almost sent the book back for refund! However I plowed on and gradually began to get interested in the story and enjoy the characters! the narrators were very good and I think they were the main reason I decide to keep listening, good choice of readers there! So, the story was pretty good, had plenty of drama and excitement, some romance and now continues into book two with Hill and Kody as the H and h, I think I might give that one a whirl too!




glad I listened to this book

This was my first JC book and now I am dying for the second book in the series.

Justified is the standard of what books set in small towns should be!! It was funny, exciting, and full of twists and turns set in the back drop of a charming little town in Texas. I mean is there anything better?!

Small-town PERFECTION!!

Story is predictable for first 3/4 but takes a bit of a surprising turn in the final quarter. I prefer that the writer lets me fill in the graphic sex details as those scenes seemed a bit forced and did not flee with the story. Some excitement throughout made this a good listen while waiting for a favorite author to publish another episode.

Good for a short fill in listen.
