The Edens Book #1
Audible audiobook
Author: Devney Perry
Narrators: Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke
Winslow Covington has just relocated from Bozeman to Quincy to be the new chief of police. She’s got a lot to prove: she’s young, she’s an “outsider” and she is (in the eyes of some people in town) the mayor’s “nepo-grandbaby”. Her grandfather tells her that she has to get in the good graces of the Edens, who are practically royalty in Quincy, Montana. Well, it certainly won’t help that, on her first night in town, she has a spectacular one night stand with a tourist. Oh, crap, the “tourist” is none other than Griffin Eden…
Griffin is grumpy, doesn’t get involved with locals and is very annoyed that the “tourist” he hooked up with is the new chief of police, whom he bumps into everywhere. To make matters worse, a woman is found dead on Eden property and Winslow is not buying that it was a suicide. When all clues lead to someone very dear to him, he’ll have to trust that Winslow is as smart and as competent as he needs her to be. Too bad he can’t keep her out of his mind… or his bed.
This is top notch romantic suspense in the style of Nora Roberts. Although to me it was very clear who the culprit was, I really liked how the story developed. It’s heavy on the suspense but also heavy on the romance. Winn and Griffin are fire together! Highly recommend!
Narration: You get Vanessa Edwin as the sassy, don’t F-with- me chief of police and Jason Clarke doing all the growly things that are quintessential Jason. Perfection!
PT: mentions of suicide, Alzheimer’s, dementia, kidnapping, life threatening injury and hospitalization
