The Pax sisters all contribute to the success of their bounty hunting business. But as a, hopefully, soon-to-be kindergarten teacher, Cara prefers research to field work. Yet with two of her sisters trying to track down their own bail-jumping mom, leaving Molly handling all the field work, Cara feels she needs to do her part in the trailing and tackling portion of bounty hunting.
That is what has Cara following a great big brute of a man who jumped bail on a double homicide. All she needs to do is put a tracker in his personal items when he steps out of his hotel room. Easy though it should be, Cara thought it would be the last mistake she would ever make when Henry Kavinsky catches her in his room. Except instead of brutally murdering her, just like the two people he is accused of killing, Henry simply lets her leave.
With each further encounter, Cara becomes more intrigued with Henry. Everything she learns screams that he couldn’t possibly be a cold-blooded killer. But before she can sink her teeth into an investigation of his supposed crime, Cara will have to put all her trust into Henry as they run for their lives from what might just be the true killers.
The only thing keeping Cara alive in the Colorado wilderness is a dangerous man who she has been consuming her thoughts. She knows that there is something not right about Henry’s case. But can her hormones really be trusted to correctly judge a man who is clearly dangerous, regardless of whether he is guilty of any crime?
Katie Ruggle has been on my favorite authors list for awhile now but I am really enjoying this Rocky Mountain Bounty Hunter series. I like these Pax sisters and as much as I liked Molly and John’s story, I was absolutely caught up in Cara and Henry’s story. I audiobooked this story but instead of switching to my eReader when I got home, I popped in my headphones so I could keep going with Cara and Henry. You knew something was not right about Henry’s story. He jumped bail but he didn’t leave town. He is accused of a brutal double homicide but he is gentle with Cara and becomes very protective. This whole thing stinks but how was he involved with all this? Not only did I need to get the answer to that but when Henry and Cara are forced to run from someone trying to kill them (her? him? both?) and end up stranded in the wilderness, needing to trust in each other for survival, I couldn’t stop listening.
Between the sweet Cara/Henry moments and all the action, I would highly recommend this story and the whole series because I am now looking forward to sister Nora’s story which was hinted at in the epilogue.
Received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
