Dark Horse Cowboys #3, Beau Garrett's story the last of the Garrett boys gets reunited with his first and only love Dixie Moore. I think those of us who have read this can all agree Dixie was a fucking idiot as a teenager. Instead of going to her Father herself and getting his side she automatically believes her mother and thinks the worst of her father, Beau, and his family. Now almost five years later she's back to take care of thing after her father's murder, his will stipulates she remain in Langston and run the feed store and ranch for a year then she can do with it what she will. But when her best friend gets shot at the feed store just like her father she knows her father's murder wasn't just because of a robbery.
Beau can't fathom why Dixie is so cold to him and his family when she was the one who left without a word breaking his heart and she acts like he did something wrong. When he discovers what happened five years ago he knows he'll never let her go again. They never stopped loving each other and once Dixie realizes the truth she is remorseful. But the business with one murder and one attempted murder at the feed store and then finding out that someone has been using it as a weigh station for human trafficking has the whole Garrett clan on their toes.
Overall, while this is technically Romantic suspense, it's more heavy on the romance then the suspense and I wish it was the opposite. I guess it's just what I was in the mood for at the time. But this was a good read, I did enjoy the story for the most part but Dixie was an idiot but it didn't take her long to realize something was wrong with her mother's version of events from five years ago. I enjoyed the whole series, Loved the second one. Dixie's secret wasn't hard to figure out, neither was the whodunnit but the story to get to that point was a good one and the romance was nice. I look forward to more June Faver books.
