Great start to a new series. 

Conman Gabriel finds himself in a precarious position and has to leave town immediately for safeties sake. He arrives on Heartstone Island with a few belongings in his car and nowhere to stay which brings him to the immediate attention of Park Ranger Casey. It’s not a very good first meeting and sets the tone for their interactions throughout this very engaging mystery. Elle Keaton’s story telling ability held my attention from start to finish. Not only with Gabriel and Casey but also the very interesting secondary characters, an intriguing plot with twist and turns and the slowest of slow burns. There’s no spice whatsoever but the potential is certainly there if and when Gabriel and Casey sort themselves out. It’s a very faint possibility at the end of the book but I can tell it’s going to happen and I can’t wait to see what happens when it does! We’re left with a teaser of what’s coming in the next instalment in the series - Gabriel still has issues plaguing him from the mess he left behind and there’s the continuing mystery of what’s happening on Heartstone Island as well as that teeny tiny possibility of romance. So much to look forward to!
