| Sheriff Ty Roderick has waited for years to get his hands on the delectable Julia Easton. But, Julia is tired of waiting and being ignored by the object of her desire. Armed with liquid courage, Julia decides that she has had enough and propositions Ty. Although his body burns to accept Julia's tempting offer, Ty behaves like a gentleman and turns her down. Now, Ty worries his chivalrous decision may have permanently ruined his chances with the beautiful fox shifter. Julia has left town and Ty is worried that she may need his help. When Ty hears that Julia and her sisters are in trouble -- he races to go save her and claim her as his own. He finds Julia, only to discover she left town in the hopes of convincing her younger sister to break up with her human fiancée. Can Julia prevent her sister from making a horrible mistake? Better yet, will she succumb to Ty's advances as he begins to pursue his foxy lady?
As a fan of the Cougar Falls series, I have always hoped that Ty and Julia would get a story of their own. While I did enjoy this story overall, I noticed that most of the Cougar Falls books seem to feature a heroine facing harassment by a group of dim-witted men. Predictably, the hero must step in and save the day. Although I found myself laughing on several occasions at the antics of Harte's "bad guys", I also found myself wishing that the female characters were more empowered. Don't get me wrong, the love scenes between town hottie Sheriff Ty and straight-laced Julia were smoking. But this book left me wanting more– more pages, more female character development, and more background on Ty and Julia's relationship. I can't wait for Harte's next Cougar Falls installment.
