I can't explain it but this hit all of my buttons. I couldn't put this down for long. I'm looking forward to Jase and Poppy's story. ( )

This is really good.
It does have similarities to Sweet Dreams by Kristen Ashley and it has the same feel.

Cannon and Farah. We met Cannon in the Hope Valley series.

Load of potential for stories of secondary characters in series.

I wasn't keen on the visceral reaction the heroine has to the Hero when he is present esp as at times he's either with another woman or just had sex with another woman but there is a reason the author wants it to be remarkable the heroine has feelings she hasn't felt in a long time.

Heroine has exdrama with her ex fiancé.

For the safety gang.

She moves to town and sees him with several women before they get together, he is described to her by others as the 'town dawg with a capital D'. She is also told he has at times had one woman who he is faithful too, he's no cheat but it's not lasted long.

There are only detailed intimate scenes with the Hero and heroine though she sees a couple of occasions while she is working at the local bar, him leave with other women and while at the bar there are different occasions where women are crawling all over him.
She also overhears a couple having sex, grunts and moans and later realises it the Hero and another woman, she is passing their room at the Inn.
For me there was a real ick factor here, he uses a pet name for her and seems to be expressing interest and he's just had sex with another woman and doesn't ever seem to see that's not okay esp as he claims later shes different to the other women and special.
No cheating.
Small pushing away.
Once the Hero is committed to her no looking, flirting with others.

Triggers.
The heroine was raped in the past, she has nightmares which never describe the actual act but the fear and initial attack are described in dreams. And she retells the event once to a girlfriend, it included violence with a knife, life threatening injuries, small details, very brief.

Breadcrumbs dropped for future books, esp for Poppy.
