  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
Lil has built a wildlife refuge and rehabilitation center on her family's land in South Dakota, specializing in large cats - tigers, panthers and cougars. Only someone is out to harm her refuge, so she turns to her neighbor, ex-cop Cooper, to lend a hand and safeguard what she's built up. ( )

not quite 3, didn't really keep my interest after a promising start ( )

One of the reasons I liked this book is because it starts when they meet as kids. I prefer to read it while it happens rather than as flashbacks. You really get much more invested in their relationship that way. I liked both characters. The writing was good without being great, typical for Nora Roberts for me. The bit at the end with the mountain lion saving her seemed a bit improbable but hey it's fiction. I do recommend this to my customers though. ( )

I have read a lot of Nora Roberts. With her I always find it can go either way.
This is a book that did not go the right way.
Let's start with the romance. There is no romance!!
2 kids become best friends. When they are still kids they fall in love, get into a relationship.
Breakup without a real justified reason. Then years later are in the same town and automatically drift back together with no real romance, no drama . nothing. Yawn.
There is a serial killer. They discovered the serial killer when they were kids. Same killer is here.
Lil is the target. He keeps attacking things, sending messages. Lil and coop keep taking precautions.
Nothing moves forward. Finally killer is killed.
Even the climax was so predictable.
SPOILER
They introduce a cat that bonds with her. It keeps following her, comes back to her.
Finally when she is in the killers grasp, the cat tracks her, shows the way, kills the killer.
Yawn!! The minute the cat was introduced and the author talks about the bonding, we know the cat will save the day. ( )

Book description
Lil Chance fell in love with Cooper Sullivan pretty much the first time she saw him, an awkward teenager staying with his grandparents on their cattle ranch in Montana while his parents went through a messy divorce. They spent every summer together, treking in the Black Hills, tracking cougar and falling in love. Then Cooper broke her heart and moved back to New York City. Ten years later and Cooper has given up his job in the police force to run the ranch after his grandfather is injured in a fall. Lil has stayed true to her love of cougars and of the Black Hills and opened an animal sanctuary. She has been targeted by animal rights campaigners in the past but this time someone seems intent on murder. As hikers are killed, animals mutiliated and a family member goes missing, Lil knows that she has no choice but to turn to Cooper for help in her fight for survival...
