Description:
He can’t resist a puzzle…
When Texas Ranger Brice McAllister spies a sexy woman in short shorts gardening in her backyard, he can’t help but flirt. She shuts him down hard, and Brice is astonished when he realizes this alluring woman is also the aloof and dowdy librarian—complete with thick-framed glasses and a shapeless dress—who helped him research land deeds earlier that day. He’s instantly intrigued and sets out to discover more—namely, why she’s clearly hiding herself.
She can’t attract attention...
After one side of her crime family is involved in her fiancé’s death, Maria Giordano puts half a continent between herself and her L.A. home and family. She moves to Whiskey River and reinvents herself as “Mary,” a serious and plain librarian. Her only indulgence is her garden and cooking with her neighbor’s young daughter. And then she meets Brice.
Maria has every reason to avoid and resent a man with a badge, but when she needs protection, the last man she thinks she can trust is the first one she turns too.

My Review:
I did not read any of the other books in the series but I don't feel like it was hard to catch up on what and who was who. I loved Bunny in this book she was a firecracker and she just was loved by all which made her parts fun to read, she loved everyone and loved to help everyone. I liked Mary but she always seemed to be looking for something wrong even when there wasn’t anything, she was not a favorite of mine in this story. She just seemed really put off. I liked Brice he was so patient and he truly seemed like a true gentleman through out. I liked how he wanted to make things better in the world even things better for his bestie, Bunny!!! This was a quick read and easy to read. Overall this was a semi clean read but completely predicable. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
