Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000446_00060]SYNOPSIS:

Even when you know better…. There are a million reasons why Hazel Campton is off limits: she’s a journalist. I’m a cop. Oh, and she’s my foster sister. My secret is I didn’t care. I haven’t stopped wanting her since I slept with her the night before she left. She’s trouble. Always has been.

It’s hard to resist the thing you’ve always wanted… Growing up with Brandon Archer means I know him. Good. Bad. Everything in between. It’s just never mattered. My secret? That night. The one I stole, that’s kept me from Archer and Green County, for four years. Now I’m home, and nothing has changed. Except me. And not in the way that means a damn thing. Because I still want him.

Everything can change with a knock at the door… Secrets. Everyone has them. Archer. Me. This town. Perfection only runs surface deep in Green County. When there’s a knock at me door, it’s a familiar face all covered in danger, and all those secrets we hide? They’re about to come tumbling out.

The first in a sexy new series about Green County, and the people who serve there.

REVIEW:

I went into this book blind and ended up really liking it. I was a little surprised that there was such major crime/mystery to solve in an addition to the struggles between Hazel and Archer.

After a terrible crash that took the lives of many of the residents near Sanders Army Base four children were left orphaned. One girl got out of town, saved by an aunt that lived far away. Three kids weren't so lucky as to have relatives to claim them. Luckily, one woman was willing to take the three into her home and look after them. Archer was the oldest and Eli and Hazel were only a year apart and together they were known as the Airplane Orphans. They became each other's lifelines.

As would be expected, Archer, Eli, and Hazel each suffered trauma as a result of losing a parent although each of them handled it a different way. They each developed a role within their new family. Archer was the one to pull Hazel out of her isolation, Eli calmed Archer's rage, and Hazel gave Archer a reason to feel needed.

As the grew up, Archer and Hazel started to see each other differently. They never felt like brother and sister, but everyone else saw them that way. One night of passion changed everything for their trio. Hazel couldn't stop herself going into Archer's room late one evening and climbing into his bed. After fulfilling her dream of spending the night in Archer's arms, she has to muster the courage to follow through with her plan to leave town because she knows they could never be together. It would crush Eli and her adoptive mother, Nora.

Hazel was gone for four years and in the six months she's been home she's been hiding out. She's afraid to see Archer. Afraid of the secrets of coming out. But, Archer's had enough. With the intentions of just smoothing things over for the sake of their "family," Archer goes to Hazel's house to confront her. It doesn't take long for them to realize that their feelings are still the same. Soon they are involved in a hot, steamy, reunion and they don't know how they'll ever go back to being apart. Will Hazel be willing to going public if it ends up hurting Eli and Nora? What will everyone think if two of the Airplane Orphans become a couple?

In addition to the complicated relationship there is a major multiple homicide in town that Archer and Eli have to work. (Archer and Eli are partners). Turns out there are many secrets in town and these secrets are about to encroach on Archer, Eli, and Hazel's lives. Hopefully, they'll make it out alive.

I loved this book and never wanted to put it down.  The romance and the mystery are balanced in such a way that both parts are compelling. The conclusion to the mystery is so tragic and even though the crime was brutal, you still felt sorry for the perpetrators. Whether you are a mystery/suspense fan or a romance fan, you'll definitely want to put this book on your TBR pile.
