Grady (Cooper’s Crossing – Colorado)
By annbharrison
Who doesn’t love a good small town romance, with strong caring heroes, I love them and this one is so very good. I loved meeting Grady Ryan sheriff of Deepwater Valley his home town and the beautiful Lara Williams who is a vet, new to town with her young daughter Jo, they are starting a new life.
Grady is happy with life at the moment he loves being sheriff and his big family although his mother Beth is determined to get him married off after all he is thirty nine, there has been no one that has caught his eye, that is until the new vet arrives with her wayward daughter. It is not long before sparks are flying between them but Grady knows that Lara is holding something back that could be dangerous.
Lara has moved to town to become the new vet with her daughter Jo, it is not long before Jo causes a few problems and Lara is meeting up with the sheriff, Grady, she likes this man but her past is a worry that keeps her thinking. Lara loves Grady’s family and is soon making lots of friends but when someone new comes to town there is trouble and Lara and Jo could very well be in danger.
This is a great romance two fabulous characters who deserved to find love and happiness but Lara’s past must be put to rest first before this can happen and Grady is the man to save the day I loved how caring and loving he is, he is fabulous with twelve year old Jo and Lara has been through so much and now she has someone who will truly love and care for them. I do highly recommend this one and I am looking forward to reading the rest in the series and being back in Deepwater Valley.
As one starts to delve into this book, one wonders whether it is Lara or Jo that needs Grady most. Lara is in hiding and despite trying to keep a low key presence, she quickly comes under the scrutiny of the local sheriff. As much as Grady has vowed never to get involved with anyone again, Jo’s repeated offenses bring him into contact with Lara and he finds himself becoming more and more involved in their troubled lives. As the suspense builds in this story, Grady is the only one that can ultimately help them, but to do so means putting aside his relationship with Lara to follow the letter of the law. The plot is well developed and the romance between Grady and Lara built slowly. However, it is his relationship with Jo that really touches the heart. I read this book as part of the “A Cowboy Kind of Night” box set, which I received as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
I loved this book about Grady and Lara, along with her daughter, Joanne. Lara moves her daughter to a small town in hopes of getting their lives back together. Grady’s mom hopes to set Grady and Lara up, but their first meeting doesn’t get off on the right foot, lol. If you love suspense and romance, then this will be the perfect book. I stayed up all night reading this book because I had to see what was going to happen. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.
