Goodreads synopsis:
He’s fighting for a second chance with his first love…before it’s too late.
The last time PI Blaze McClintock was on her family’s ranch, she left in handcuffs. She vowed then to never go home again…until her estranged father is accused of murder. He’s not a good man—this entire Montana town knows that. But Blaze believes her father is innocent and she’ll do anything to prove it, even ask the one man who broke her heart for help—the only man in town who’s on her side.
No matter how hard he tried, Jake Horn could never forget Blaze. As teenagers, their passion ignited, leaving destruction in their wake. Now, years later, it’s obvious little has changed. But as they work together to unravel what really happened that night, a dangerous secret threatens to separate them for good. This time, though, Jake won’t let Blaze go without a fight—even if it means risking his own life.

4.5 Stars
This is the first book in the Montana Justice series by B.J. Daniels.
I think this was supposed to be romantic suspense but I feel like it was more just suspense/procedural.
Blaze McClintock is back home after her father is accused of the murder of a local rancher. There is a big conflict here concerning his bison/buffalo and how dangerous the local ranchers think they are to the community. I felt like there was a bit of mob mentality at work here and the thoughts of a few coerced a whole bunch of others into actions they really hadn’t thought through.
Blaze believes in her father’s innocence even when the man is willing to sit in jail and take whatever they give him. She knows there is more to the story. As she digs into the past, she gets more and more threats and finds clues she almost wish she had left buried. Her father’s secrets have split a town in half. And she is not sure she can make it all right again.
As she investigates her old flame, Jake Horn, who has never given up on her, is there at every turn supporting her and lending her aid. Eventually, she begins to let him in and sparks do fly.
This book really sucks you in so be ready for a marathon reading experience. I just flew though this and at the end just wanted more. B.J. Daniels always delivers!
If you love romantic suspense, definitely check this one out for sure. This series is going to be one of her best. She only keeps getting better and better!
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
