Publisher's summary

Molly Jennings has one naughty little secret: her job as a best-selling erotic fiction author. Until her inspiration runs dry - thanks to a creepy ex - and it's time to skip town and move back to tiny Tumble Creek, Colorado.

One look at former high-school hunk and chief of police Ben Lawson and Molly is back in business. The town gossip is buzzing at her door and, worse still, a stalker seems to be watching her every move.

Thankfully, her very own lawman has taken to coming over, often. The only problem now is that Molly may have to let the cat out of the bag about her chosen profession - and straitlaced Ben will definitely not approve.

Nice distraction

This book was funny, it was one of those books that I would call "real", as in I could see this happening to a real person. It wasn't mind blowing, it wasn't edge of your seat stuff, it was almost YA in my opinion, but YA with an R rating if that makes sense. The hot scenes were decent, but nothing shattering.

This is a book about a small town girl who "got out", and then came back! Molly Jennings grew up underappreciated and over shadowed by her big brother so when she had the chance to move out of Tumble Creek for college she took it and didn't really look back. She supports herself by *cough* well, it's a TOP secret vocation, and not even her parents know, but she swears it is totally legal and that should be good enough for everyone....except Ben....the small town crush she had 10 years ago is now the small town sheriff and boy does she want HIM...and has wanted him for 10 long years.

Ben likes the quiet life, no scandal, no ruckus, not in his small town but when Molly Jennings blows back into town his world stops....the girl he has always wanted, and the girl that is STILL off limits! Molly is his best friends little sister and she always will be...but she's not 17 anymore, and he's not 22. Can he fight his feelings for her....does he want to anymore?

Throw in a creepy ex, a small town mentality, and a whole bunch of "who done it" scenarios and the book was nice....just nice. The narrator was good at inflection, but some of the guys sound like girls, especially the hunky alpha male lead...so THAT wasn't so great, but it didn't ruin the story.

All in all I say get it on sale, but not worth a credit.

P.S. Not that Audible has listed this, but this is book one in the "Tumble Creek Series" Book 2 is called Start me up, and book 3 is lead me on!

Steamy!

I rally liked this book. It was hot hot HOT! and action packed too. The only downfall was the narrator's valley girl voice. It really took away from some scenes that were supposed to be humanizing, making them sound trite instead. I had to reinterpretation it a bit. Overall it is still a 5 star book, the narrator is 3 stars.

Hmm I may try another Dahl novel

Sigh. I hate it when a character doesn't realize how her actions and reactions to a situation perpetuates a problem. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine.

Good drama; hot romance

I like this author's characters.

Also has a central plot that is more than the romance - better story than most.

The romance is hot, hot, hot.

Narrator isn't my favourite, but okay.

I needed another narrator ..... STAT

I liked the story, it was a good however, the Narrator did not change the sound of her voice or add any inflections so it all sounded the same and ran together.

TALK ME DOWN

LOVED THIS BOOK FROM START TO FINISH.

Great Male Lead!

The male lead in this book made the story! He was everything you would want in a man and then some. The story itself was really good as well. The female lead was often annoying and inappropriate, but even she had a few good moments. Overall, an enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next installment about Lori and Quinn.

A Whole Lot of Fun!

This was a fun read. Molly and Ben were two spirited people, who kept getting interrupted every time they tried to get it on. Molly tries to keep how she supports herself a secret which leads the sheriff to think all kinds of thoughts. Then things begin to happen to Molly and of course Ben thinks it has to do with her means of income. This was a really fun book. Definitely worth a credit.

Funny and Wowza

Let me just say, I listened to this while I was shopping in walmart, and got some very odd looks as I laughed out loud.

This was funny and hot, and I really liked the narrator.

Loved the chemistry!👠♥️!

I am an avid reader and audible user! I loved the story line and narrative. The author was very imaginative and creative. The narrative was expressive and matched the author’s story line perfectly. You will not be disappointed if you like creative romance!
