Listen, you’ll never see me turn down a cowboy romance and you add a bit of crime in there? I’m sold. Get me a pen ‘cause I’m signing on the dotted line.

With that in mind, Indigo Ridge was *fast*. Things happened quickly in this book. Small plot points that piqued my interest weren’t dug into further (e.g. Officer Smith or Emily), and I feel like I’ve finished the book with far more questions than answers. Do I know how the romance turned out? Yes. But everything else in the story? Not so much.

I did really enjoy the suspense of the whodunnit and, though I had my (apparently accurate) suspicions from the start, I was gripped by the reveal. I would have liked to have seen more of Winn’s pushback from the town.

I also would have liked to have seen Winn and Griffin talk a bit more before progressing with their situationship because it felt unrealistic for feelings to start developing when we’d really only heard about their physical relationship.

I did enjoy the story. I just wish there was more to it!
