One missing person, one private investigator, and one deputy. Their passion for the truth and each other ignites in the small town of Kerry, West Virginia.


Private investigator Dax Mitchell had more pressing things to do than solve some mystery in small-town Kerry, West Virginia—that is until some sweet old lady begs him to locate her missing friend. Not even a former homicide detective could turn her down.

Deputy Jessie Nash has enough on her hands, and the last thing she needs is an irresistible investigator interfering with her job. After her boss goes missing, Jessie reluctantly turns to Dax for help. Now, they must work together to solve the case.

The problem? The closer they work, the more intense their desire for one another becomes. As they uncover truths neither wants to face, will it extinguish the passion that burns so deeply between them or make it brighter?

        5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story
        Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017
        Normally books I have read of Vella Day have been shifter/paranormal books. So when I saw this book I was curious if I would see the same writing style I have seen in her other books. I can assure you that Vella does not disappoint. This book is creative and will keep you on the edge of your seat and at times you will not be able to stop laughing at the little old horny ladies of the town. This book is a Murder Mystery Romance and trust me you will love every minute of it.

        Dax Mitchell was a private investigator. I bet he was not expecting the characters he would of meet in the small town of Kerry, West Virginia. His job was to find a missing elder lady. I almost laughed what her elder friends thought happen to her. Yeah, super funny.

        Jessie Nash who was deputy of this small town was not expecting this handsome stranger that her grandmother had hired. What I could tell by reading this story that the town Kerry did not get to many studs that came into town. So I imagine why Dax had taken her breathe away.

        Seems like the town Kerry has went crazy. There are disappearance, rumors of alien abduction doing sexual probing, and murders. It is Dax and Jessie’s job to figure at the truth and what is really going on.

        While reading the book I could not help but try to guess who was behind the crime spree going on in this town. Well let me tell you my guess was wrong. I did not expect the person who was revealed.

        There is danger at every turn and there is so much sexual tension between Jessie and Dax it is almost painful. Dax is very jealous and these two refuse to reveal their feelings to one another. You almost want to reach in the book and shake these two.

        This was a great story and glad I got to read the book. I am so looking forward to seeing what other books Vella Day brings out in this series.

        Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2017
        Wow.. this book is amazing. Usually when you read a Vella Day book you think paranormal but wow this mystery romance is simply amazing. When private investigator Dax Mitchell is hired to find a missing person in Kerry West Virginia, he gets more than he bargains for.. Jessie Nash is a deputy in Kerry, when she meets Dax in the sherrif's office she can't believe her grandmother hired him to find her friend Sadie.. but when the sherrif goes missing, Jessie turns to Dax for help.. As they work to solve the mystery of what is going on in the town. They grow closer to each other... The romance is so sweet and incredible. And the story keeps you guessing as to who the killer is throughout the whole book....

        5.0 out of 5 stars Shock and awe!!
        Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2017
        ARC reader, so I am giving an honest review since I received this book for free.

        At first, just seeing the name of the book, I was kind of thinking this would be another book about cops falling in love after something tragic happened to one of them. Then I read what the book was about, and I was a little more intrigued. But wow, I was way off...This was definately worth the read!

        There is nothing better than crime, mystery, intrigue and romance!! I loved this book! If you are expecting tons of sexual/erotic happenings, think again. Yes there is some, but the storyline and all the things occurring throughout the book kept me turning page after page to try to figure out everything. With everything going on in the little town of Kerry, in West Virgina, romance had to keep being put onto the back burner.

        Vella did it once again!. Throughout the book I found myself giggling, on edge, pissed off and "warming up". I love a good romance/erotic book as much as anyone else, but this book had me hooked all the way through, because who doesn't love a little shock and awe?!

        Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017
        My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read. This is the nice and light-hearted romance set in a very small town in West Virginia. Dax and Jessie are the main characters in this book and they have chemistry from the get go. Jessie has determined that she isn't going to find a man who will want to be married to her because she is so independent and Dax feels that he won't find a wife because he sees himself as broken due to his defunct leg. When Dax comes into town to help Jessie's grandmother look for her missing friend, he ends up taking on a lot more than he counted on. Jessie gets a case that involves the security of her small town and so she needs Dax's experience to help to bring peace back to the town. As things go along, Dax realizes he has nothing at home to go home to, but isn't sure that this small town is for him...or if Jessie will accept him.

        Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017
        I enjoyed reading this story. This was different than what I was expecting from Vella but I wasnt disappointed. Jessie is exactly what the town needed a strong will deputy who has her small town turned up side down but a chain of events. One being her grandmother hiring a man to find her missing friend Sadie whom she thinks aliens has taken. Dax is in for a full ride with these ladies especially when he sets his eyes on Jessie. This story has so many turns of I think its nope thats not it you wont want to put it down. To say the least the suspense and quick wit will have you wanting more. Loved it. Dax is definitely a man with a plan but Jessie can hold her own as well. I really liked the small town feel. It was right on point.
