Indigo Ridge (The Edens, #1)
Devney Perry
Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana’s new chief of police, she’s determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn’t earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor. According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town’s founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn’t realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty. Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she’s trying to forget. He’s insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she’s an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths. As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy’s own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

I wish I could do half stars because this is probs a 3.5⭐️ for me. I found the pacing to be pretty consistent and it definitely kept me engaged. I felt like the plot lines were decently balanced and the mystery piece surprisingly kept me guessing up until the end. I enjoyed the characters overall but they did tend to feel a little flat. There wasn’t a ton of development beyond Winn becoming chief and Griff becoming a relationship man. Just felt a little lazy in terms of characterization. Didn’t love the cop aspect buuuut the town was super cute and I dig the hot cowboy vibes. The romance was sweet, but pretty much all closed-door which was disappointing (and a bit surprising given some of the language used in the narration, especially Griff’s). Overall pretty cheesy (especially the epilogue), but sweet. Just felt like it was missing a little something for me in terms of complexity. Not sure that I’ll continue the series because the next book is a single mom FMC and that’s not my jam. Would recommend for a quick, sweet, relatively fast read. (PSA that suicide is a big theme as the FMC is investigating some as police chief.)
