He’s a grumpy lawman who lives by the book.
Sheriff Ash Rawlings values order and structure above all else. He doesn’t have time for distractions, especially not now, since his new K9 partner, Dante, has a nose for trouble. But when the vivacious and rebellious Rose Galasso bursts back into his life, challenging his every move, he finds himself both irritated and captivated. She’s wild, unpredictable, and dangerously attractive.
She’s a free spirit who doesn’t play by the rules.
The last person Rose wants to be tangled up with is the uptight sheriff who ruined her life, and their intense dislike for each other is evident to anyone within earshot. But when a wildfire uncovers a woman’s body, they’re drawn together by the cold case that has haunted them both for years. And when Rose’s ties to the victim put her in a killer’s crosshairs, Ash and Dante have their work cut out for them to keep her safe.
They’re enemies with a common goal: justice.
As the threat escalates, Ash and Rose must face their turbulent history if they want to survive. But can they learn to trust the enemy before it’s too late?
Searching for Justice is the third book in the Redwood Coast Rescue romantic suspense series by Tonya Burrows. If you crave an electrifying enemies-to-lovers romance with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this gripping adventure is a must-read.
Review:
Searching for Justice is a steamy, age-gap, enemies-to-lovers, OMG we’re in big trouble tropefest, and I was 110% here for it!
I loved Ash and Rose’s story. From the fact that they both have rather unfortunate names (Ashley Sutton Rawlings III and Ambrosia Wildflower Galasso) to their off-the-charts chemistry to the danger threatening them that truly had me at the edge of my seat (I absolutely *did not* suspect who the bad guys were!), I did not want to put this one down!
Also, there are dogs. And all of them–but especially Dante–are Very Good Doggos from start to finish.
And OMG, that moment when Ash realizes that Dante is his doggie twin…priceless!
I have to warn you, though–we get an HEA for out hero and heroine here, but the epilogue throws us right into the next book, where a secondary character from this one is in some really significant danger–and then it ENDS. I need that next book YESTERDAY, Tonya Burrows! 😉
I mean, I can wait. Take your time and do your characters the justice they deserve, of course. But try to write faster, please? 😀
Though I managed just fine starting this series with the 3rd book, I really liked all of the Redwood Coast Rescue people I met here, and will totally be going back and reading the first two books as soon as I get a chance. Maybe that will keep me from getting too distracted and worried about Alexis’s fate (GAH! that epilogue!!!)…how soon can you write Searching for Redemption, Ms Burrows?
