No One But You (Silver Springs, #2)

by Brenda Novak

This book grabbed me right at the beginning, Sadie has everything stacked against her due to her ex-husband , who is a controlling and abusive jerk. No on will hire her and she desperately needs a job to support herself and her son.  Dawson has been found innocent of killing his adoptive parents but no one in Silver Springs believes him to be innocent. Sadie accepts a position as cook/housekeeper on his isolated farm and here begins the drama , romance and intrigue. Dawson sounds really hot and there are a few nice and steamy scenes between the two. I enjoyed the mystery in this story of who did murder Dawson's parents and I have to admit that I was not quite certain that it was not him. Sadie is a strong character and she is doing everything to keep her son away from her ex who is verbally abusive to him. I hated Sly , the ex and I was waiting for his downfall. The romance in this book between Dawson and Sadie was very sweet and sometimes steamy, you could feel the heat between the two right from their first meeting.  I found this book to be fast paced and the mystery was what really held me, that and waiting to see the downfall of  Sly! I honestly cannot remember the last time that I disliked a character so intensely. There are quite a few surprises in this book and I had no idea who the killer was or what the reason for the killings of Dawson's parents was. This book is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone which is how I read it. I would definitely read book one in this series and any more to follow. I would like to get to know more characters in this town and I am wondering if Sadie and Dawson get married!This review was originally posted on Cindy's Book Binge
