She has to run. She has to hide. But is there any place he can't find her?

On the run from her drug-dealing ex, Rosie is forced to return to the one place she swore she'd never go back to - Aspen Falls. But it's a place to lay low until the nightmare blows over. Or is it?

When she's pulled over by Officer Blaine Hartford, she comes face to face with her past. Will she have the courage to tell him everything or are her secrets too ugly to share?

If Blaine finds out what she's done, he could ruin her. Or could he be the one man to ultimately save her?

When roles are reversed...

Blaine Hartford used to be the nerd in hs...he had been teased mercilessly and even attempted suicide but was stopped by his crush, Rosie Sweet. Now a police officer with Aspen Falls PD, Blaine is surprised when he pulls over a speeding car and the driver is non other than Rose Sweet! Rosie Sweet used to run with the popular crowd in hs but she’s been a hot mess ever since college. If there’s a poor decision to be made, Rosie will make it. Now she’s on the run from an abusive ex and has returned to Aspen Falls. While Blaine has his act together, Rosie just can’t seem to make the right decisions and I had a hard time liking her. Glad that we got an HEA.

He’s the one guy that was sweet.

It’s not my typical type of read, but with the audiobook it makes it tolerable. The writing style isn’t up to my quality standards. It’s an okay read.
…
Dead of Winter is a romantic suspense about a drug dealer selling drugs laced with fentanyl. It’s an amateur investigation with very little police procedure. It’s more romance than suspense. If you’re looking for an investigative type of story this one is lightly based on that aspect. Eighty percent of the storyline is focused on the romance.

Melissa Pearl has a passion for writing and I have a passion for reading. The combination of the two don’t always line up. Her writing style doesn’t compel me to read nor does it transport me into the story. It’s superficial writing at its best just words written on the paper. She needs to dig deeper with the words. Anna Cruise and Melissa Pearl combined efforts to write this book. I’ve read one other book by Anna Cruise which was ok just like this one.

Narrated by Meghan Kelly. She’s the solo female performer reading this audiobook. I listened using the audible app. I’m an eyes and ears person requiring both the ebook and audiobook to enhance my experience. The performance is good. Had it not been for the voice acting I wouldn’t skim read this book.
