Wesson Campbell always says the wrong thing at the wrong time when under pressure. Because of that, he has a reputation for being a bit of a dumb meathead. He’s a good cop, a master marksman, and spends his free time taking care of his mother, but his social skills and English language proficiency (for a third generation American raised in Montana) are somewhat lacking. Because of this, he … doesn’t think he has any chance with the smart, beautiful Dr. Molly Mooney.
Molly Mooney is usually the smartest person in the room. After years of school and residency, Molly made the decision to open her own psychiatry practice in her hometown of Imminence. With contracts with the Montana Department of Corrections and the Bounty County Jail, Molly’s career has become much more interesting and much more lucrative. But a secret she’s kept for years keeps her from really opening up to her new group of friends. She decides, during one drunken night, that Wesson is the one to help her.
When Wesson’s father is released from prison unexpectedly, a series of events puts Molly’s job (and liberty) in jeopardy. Will Wesson be able to get Molly out of a sticky situation? Will Molly’s secret be too much for him to handle? Will the two of them find love where they least expect it?

This book needs to be on everyone’s list! It was perfect! And oh….the best proposal EVER!!! Absolutely without a doubt…5 Stars!
Gridlocked (Bounty County 3) by Maren Lee.
It has been pure pleasure reading the Bounty County Series by Maren Lee. All three books were amazing; each book better than the last and that is saying a lot. But holy wow!! Gridlocked was my absolute favorite so far. (Yes, if you were wondering, there is another book in this series coming soon) So not only was Gridlocked by favorite in the series so far, it is my absolute favorite read for this month! In fact, Gridlocked is easily in my top ten list of 2017!
I recommend you check it out!
This book had all the feels I love to see in the perfect book. There was danger and suspense as well as a ton of humor. Let’s not forget Wesson and his verbal ignorance. I believe we’re calling them “Wessonisms.” I can honestly say I haven’t read a hero like Wesson before and I’m glad he’s the only one; an original kick-ass, sexy, adorable, dork. And I mean “dork” in the most affectionate way. I absolutely loved him! #mybookboyfriend 🙂
While reading this book it was easy to infer that Maren Lee put a lot of thought and care in Wesson’s character. She took a chance and it paid off. Seriously…mold broken. Have I mentioned how much I love Wesson? 😉
Molly was a great heroine and perfect for Wesson. Molly was highly intelligent, successful, beautiful, kind, caring, and independent. And despite Wesson’s claims that she could never be interested in him, Molly adored Wesson from the start. She never judged him and easily gave him her heart,
We met Molly in previous books of the series, as well as Wesson. I admit I didn’t have a great impression as to what type a character she would be and I wasn’t sure I would like her for Wesson. Well not only did I love her for Wesson…I just loved her! I especially loved how she treated and was treated by Wesson. Pure smexy, swoon-worthy.
I could certainly go on and on and still not give this book the justice it deserves so I’ll just tell you to buckle up for an incredible, hot, sexy, sweet, suspenseful and hilarious book!
This is my honest and unbiased review.
If you have not indulged in the Bounty County series, you need to one click those bad boys now. This is the third book and Wes had me laughing so much during this book that my other half thought I was nuts. You will fall head over heels in love with Wesson and his mannerisms and the guy is seriously sweet with a HUGE side of sexy and dirty to satisfy all your romantic book cravings. Wes and Molly’s story has it all with secrets, drama, suspense and a few crazy moments that just make everything more interesting and have you glued to the pages from start to finish. However this book has left me wanting………….. I NEED RYAN’S STORY NOW!!! Gridlocked is nothing short of five stars and Maren Lee needs a big old hug for just how much this book made me smile and laugh.
I cannot say enough good things about this book, it’s fun and gorgeous and oh, so steamy. This whole Bounty County series has me by the heart.
So I am a newbie to this series, but after reading this one, I must go back and read the other 2. This has to be one of the funniest books I have ever read. I found myself laughing constantly while reading, and wanting to call my friends who I was buddy reading with at 1 in the morning cause I reached a good part.
Wesson and Molly’s story although not conventional, is the picture perfect relationship we are all searching for. You never know what you are going to get with those two. Whether they are being serious, funny (either intentionally or unintentionally), and just sweet, we want to be with them for the entire journey.
Maren Lee has officially become a one-click author for me, I do not give that title to many writers. Anything that she writes I will own from here on out. I also know I am not the only one that wants to know what is coming out of Bounty County next!
Wesson is MINE!!!!!! Always and forever I love him and all his #wessonisms …. This book is amazeballs and Wesson was my top book boyfriend of 2017!!!!!! He’s hilarious, witty, sexy, and has a big old …… I’m so jealous of Molly …. if I could be in any book it would be this one!!!!! I love all these characters. Even tho I’m envious of Molly because she has Wesson … Sierra is my soul sister!!!!!!!
Maren Lee has outdone herself this time. Wesson and Molly are the funniest, passionate, most quirky couple that I’ve read in a while! Seriously, I laughed so hard I woke up my 3 month old. I loved the story line. There was more humor than drama, which I expected nothing less from Wesson and his Wessonisms. You’ll love this book!
Oh Wesson. What can I say about Wesson? He’s not your average hero, but who wants average? He’s quirky, funny, sexy, protective, and swoony all rolled into one stacked man! He’s one of the many Bounty County police officers, but he’s definitely a special one.
Molly Mooney is the very smart, very sweet doctor in Wesson’s group of friends. She grew up in Imminence, but spent time away for college and med school. She’s back with her own psychiatry practice, and she also works with inmates at the prison as well.
Neither of these two are looking for love, but hell when it happens it happens. Plus when your matchmaking friend gives you a sort of gentle shove… it’s almost inevitable. Their love story has a fun build up to watch. Molly has some painful history that has her hesitant, and Wesson treading carefully through their relationship. When they finally give in to what they want it’s hot and swoony and perfection!
The first side plot in this story is really good as well. If you’ve read the first two books then you’ll know there’s a drug and corruption problem in Imminence, and it is explored more here, but in a way that ties into the characters in this story.
Ok and there’s another side plot about another couple and it is oh so good, and gets you ready for book four!
Gridlocked has a little bit of everything. There’s swoony romance, hot and steamy bits, a good bit of laughter, and a moderately suspenseful side plot. I don’t know what else you could need in an erotic contemporary romance.
Sweet, sexy and a whole lot of laughs
Gridlocked is my first book by Maren Lee – despite being Book 3 in the Bounty County series – and I’m so glad I found this wonderful author. This story was steamy, romantic and action-packed. I absolutely loved the leads – Wesson and Molly – but the rest of the crew is just as awesome and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
Without a doubt, Gridlocked earned it’s five stars because of the hilarity, sweetness and fabulousness of Wesson Campbell. He is a great police officer but often his mouth engages before his brain and he is known for his Wessonims – which are typical sayings with a Wesson twist as he just doesn’t get them eg:
“Let’s just play it by year right now.”
“…put air guitars around ‘apparent’ because I’m not convinced.”
But Molly was equally as endearing and I absolutely loved her. A psychologist, she’s great at what she does, and Wesson thinks she’s out of his league. But this story goes to show that there’s so much more to love then brains – chivalry, kindness, romance and hot sex is what makes a fabulous relationship.
What I especially loved about this book was that the drama and action was external to the couple. Wesson and Molly have their ups and downs but it’s more to do with what they’re facing rather than conflict with one another. And I love a good romance without drama sometimes – Gridlocked definitely fits the bill!!
Finally, I loved the sneak peeks into the next couple – Ryan and Katie – who’s book U-Turn comes out in a few days! The scenes told in their POV gave me a great insight into what is going to be a drama filled story I’m sure – especially with the jaw dropping reveal at the end – and I cannot wait to read it (as well as the first two books in the Bounty County series).
OMG Molly & Wesson are now my favorite couple in this series. As I read each book I’m falling harder and deeper for these characters. Molly isn’t your typical woman, she’s kept herself in check for quite some time now and I give her a lot of credit for that. Wesson is just hilarious and with his Wessonisms you’re surely going to be enjoying yourself while reading. This man has his own set of rules he’s trying to abide by with the deliciousness of a alpha make mixed in ooohwiii come over here officer. This story is such a great read that keeps you guessing what’s to come. Yes we have the sexy as all scenes but mixed perfectly within is a bit of mysterious drama and I’m loving every second. Undoubtedly a one click, must read book! This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
This was my first book by Maren Lee and I really enjoyed it. I was apprehensive going in because I had not read the first two books, but I didn’t feel like I was confused about the other characters.
Wesson- that adorable hunk. He was so endearing to me for some reason. He loved with his whole heart (Molly and his mom) and he was a dirty talker. He came across as kind of dopey from time to time, which at first was odd, but as he grew on me (and we met his mom) I just went with it.
Molly – I really liked her personality. She was smart and sweet and totally into Wesson, I love that she never looked down on him with some of the odd things he said, and wasn’t constantly correcting him. She had a traumatic experience in college and in Wesson she finally found someone she felt comfortable enough to let down her guard and share herself with.
-no cheating
-no ow/om drama at all ( I didn’t read the first two books so I don’t know if they had been with anyone in those)
-no real pushing away once they are together.
-steamy
-great secondary characters – not sure about book 4 since there is a separation. Will see if they are with others during the separation but it’s not looking like it will be for me unfortunately
-HFN with no real epilogue which was disappointing to me
