Rating : 4.5 stars.

I couldn’t wait to return to Piedras Island so I could read more of Mat and Niall’s slow burn romance with a side of suspense and I was not disappointed with this page turner.
Niall is still as taciturn as ever and Mat is still the overworked sheriff of the Island but their connection continues to spark. I loved watching their relationship develop further. It’s a low steam, slow burning romance with tender moments combined with banter and another mystery to solve. The suspense subplot was done so well that I was truly surprised when the antagonist was revealed. More fascinating characters are introduced and the scene is set for another mystery in the next instalment of the series.
If you enjoy a well crafted romantic suspense story with two likeable but at times grumpy characters, low angst, a great cast of side characters and a wonderful dog for a sidekick, then I highly recommend this book and series.
This cannot be read as a standalone.
