Poppy Deveraux has just buried her parents after the three of them were in a car accident and when she drives by a car accident on the side of the road all she wants to do is try and save the driver. Unfortunately now she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and stuck in a town that she doesn't want to be in.
Detective Beau Caldwell is attracted to Poppy the moment he sees her but he knows he can't mix business and pleasure. The man Poppy stumbled upon is well known to police and now Beau is worried that someone else could have seen Poppy at the scene and she could be in danger.
As Beau and his partner, Grant, begin to research the case they wonder if there is a chance that there could be a link to Poppy. Beau also knows he is becoming very attached to Poppy but can he afford to get attached when it's clear all she wants to do is return home?
This was a great read and I am really enjoying this series so far.
I really liked Poppy and my heart broke for her in that she had just buried her parents and now was stuck in the middle of a murder investigation. All she wanted to do was return home but until it was clear that she wasn't involved or was in danger she had to remain in town. Yet I really liked how Poppy formed a friendship with Emerson and learned to skydive and find some freedom in that.
Beau was a hard working detective but initially he was concerned that Poppy could be involved, especially when he discovered who the victim was. Yet he couldn't deny his attraction to Poppy and how much he wanted to get to know her and was walking a fine line between professional and personal.
There was so much chemistry between Poppy and Beau but she really wanted to return home when the case was over and Beau was afraid of getting attached to Poppy and then have her leave,
The case itself was interesting but I knew that there was no way Sheridan did what it appeared especially after what had happened. I actually guessed what was going on half way through the book but I was still super excited on how it was going to all play out.
Towards the end there was a jaw dropping moment and I was absolutely shocked on how it all played out!! OMG!!! I couldn't believe how close Beau was - jaw dropped!
I was so proud of Poppy for never giving up but she must have been so devastated for what happened on the road. I was so happy that Beau and Grant were able to get where they needed to with some help that was overdue.
The end made me so happy with Beau's decision!! I can't wait to see where the series goes back in River's Edge.
4.5 Stars
