In this installment, we are back with Deputy Tessa Black & former Army Ranger Logan Wilde. Logan is the islands new Forest Ranger. He is Tessa’s boyfriend and suffers from PTSD. He is also the brother of one her dearest friends. A friend who went missing years ago. A body has turned up on one of the state park beaches and the two investigate.

I love the remote island and its unique setting. Everyone knows everyone, and the local doctor is also the coroner. Of course for big cases, they ship the body to the mainland for autopsy and often call in forensic teams from Seattle to assist.

While this novella is roughly one-hundred pages, the overall series arc and characters combined with different cases to solve give the stories plenty of meat. The romance is served as a side dish, and sexy time occurs off the page. It touches on family, friendship and addresses PTSD the nightmares that trouble Logan.

We see some development regarding Tessa and Meg’s missing friend. It left me wanting more answers. There are six planned novellas for this series so I am anxious to dive into Bred in the Bones by Kendra Elliot the next book. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
