I will preface this by saying that I usually like Sharon Sala. This title just rubbed me the wrong way. Beth is on the run from the Mob who wants her dead. She heads back to her family home on Rebel Ridge, this small country town where everyone is related. And I mean everyone. Beth was in love with her cousin by marriage Ryal when they were teenagers. They meant everything to each other a decade ago, but what will happen now. Beth needs the safety of her family if she expects to grow old, but her family was not approving of her relationship with Ryal. If the author had just mentioned once or twice that the main characters are cousins by marriage, it would not have been that bad, but it is something that is constantly played up. “Hey were cousins, and this is wrong”. That alone just made the story too hard to read. You just could not get away from that information. Overall this is a book I could leave behind on a plane and not care.
