BLURB
Ellodie Cassandra Solaire made a single, solitary New Year’s resolution.
That resolution was set in stone, and she wouldn’t be breaking it, no matter what.
It was simple: Say yes to every person who asks her out on a date until she finds a boyfriend.
Easy, right?
Wrong.
She breaks that New Year’s resolution three months into the year after a guy gives her serial killer vibes.
Fast forward three months, and she’s unhappily saying yes to any man who asks.
Until one day, there she is, eating a chicken burrito waiting for traffic to clear, and he appears like a knight in shining armor.
One second, she’s counting down the seconds until the parade dissipates so she can go home, and the next, a car is flying through the air directly beside her, courtesy of a hot cop performing a PIT maneuver.
It’s during the middle of the arrest when Quaid Carter’s eyes find hers.
From that moment on, she’s lost to anyone else but him.
The only problem is that serial killer vibe she got off of her potential date a few months ago isn’t just a vibe. It’s a full-blown obsession. And the serial killer decides that she won’t be the one to get away.
Ellodie and Quaid were just meant to be….. but their road to getting to a happy future was not an easy one!!!!
Quaid is a policeman who is trying to catch a suspect when he first encounters Ellodie. He runs into her again at the end of a disastrous date she’s had and the third time he’s at the hospital where she’s a nurse to investigate some thefts. Each time there’s a spark, an interest and a definite connection. These Carter men know what and who they want and I’m enjoying watching them try to catch the women they fall for.
Ellodie made a New Year’s resolution to go on dates to see if she could find Mr Right, she signed up to a dating app but it appeared that along with catching a few Mr Definitely-Not-Rights she might have also caught the interest of Mr Stalker-possibly Serial Killer and now she’s on Quaid’s radar for more than his attraction to her,
Although there’s a lot of heat and humour in the series this book, especially towards the end, was a hard read at times. There was a lot of bad stuff that happened and while I thought I knew who the monster was, LLV did well to make me second guess myself a time or two.
I’m enjoying this series. The Carter siblings/family are entertaining, are all up in each others business but they’re a tight group who have each others backs (and that of their significant others) when things get tough.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
