A review by bookgyrl
Bound to the Bounty Hunter by Hayson Manning

5.0

Sophie is a PI, scraping by with all kinds of jobs including catching bail jumpers. She travelled around most her life with her preacher dad and discovered after his death six years ago that he was a con man. She is paying back his victims but is also trying to find out her fathers connection to a man named Petrov.

Harlan is a bounty hunter and he has his own security agency. He is hired by Petrov to gather information about Sophie. Petrov thinks she might be his long-ago kidnapped daughter.

Harlan and Sophie have crossed paths before and he left her humiliated after a passionate encounter. Now, she still feels attracted to him, but thinks he is only into petite blondes. Harlan is trying to keep Sophie safe and while they butt heads all the time he falls for the feisty PI. But what about his assignment Sophie knows nothing about? Both have issues from their past and have difficulties opening up to others. Communication is a key word.

This is a 5 star read as it ticked all kind of boxes for me. Sure, there are some issues I have with the story like the sometimes choppy conversations and it could have been a bit shorter. I also questioned Harlan's expertise at times as Sophie had no trouble ditching her security whenever she wanted. But these are minor issues to me. I look forward to the next book!
