I am not a big reader of Harlequin books but I am of suspense and this book caught my eye right away. I don’t really know what the draw was but I think it had to do with the town being called Beartooth, Montana and set around the Crazy Mountains, but whatever it was I am glad that I read it. Also, I might add that I did read the first novella in the series FALLEN, it is very short and it does give you Ginny West’s point of view.

There were so many twist and turns that I had to almost keep notes as to where this book was going. You don’t only have the main story of who killed Ginny West but also stories of others in the town that somehow B.J. Daniels made work into the final outcome and when you think you have finally figured out who had done it, it changes.

Rylan West and Destry Grant were childhood sweethearts, when Rylans sister Ginny was killed eleven years ago and Carson Grant, Destrys brother is the number one suspect and they are torn apart. The grief and betrayal sends Rylan off to the Pro-Rodeo Circuit breaking his promise to always love Destry.

Destry is devastated not only does she lose Rylan but her father sends Carson away, since there is no evidence to actually convict him of the crime he isn’t charged.

Eleven years later Rylan and Carson both come home of course for very different reasons. Rylan misses his family and Montana. Carson is being summoned by his father to take over the ranch and new evidence has shown up in Ginny’s investigation. Everyone in Beartooth wants to see him pay for Ginny Wests murder, including Rylan. Things start to heat up when the town wants their own form of justice.

Still not convinced that her brother is guilty, even though she finds out he has lied to her about that night. However, when the same thing starts happening to another women in town, Destry and Rylan both know it’s more than just a coincidence and together they set out to find answers to what really happened.

This time it didn’t matter what the outcome is because Rylan had never stopped loving Destry and he wasn’t giving up on them. She felt the same Destry was tired of trying to save everybody. For eleven years she had done her best and now she wanted the man she had always loved and she was going to have him no matter the cost.

I really liked that you didn’t see one person’s point of view but you saw many. I felt it worked well that way. Although there was a little more description into the Montana landscape than I cared for and a storyline about Sherriff Curry and Nettie the general store owner that I wasn’t sure where it was going. I hope along the way to find out, Nettie is a busy body and gossip so she’s a lot of fun.

Overall, there was a lot of great suspense in this book and in trying to figure out who had killed Ginny. I didn’t stop reading this till the end and I tell you this I never expected it to be who it was!!!
