Helpful Score: 3
This story is a continuation of the first book: THE LAST RENEGADE. When released in May 2013, I rushed to the store to get it and Im glad I did. Its a great follow-up story.
Goodman does a delightful job with character development. She lets her villains have good points and that makes them more interesting and realistic.
She also brought back the 2 characters that charmed the first story; they were just as delightful as before. I think Goodman did a slightly better job developing Tru Morrows character than Cobb Bridgers. However, this is really Trus story.
At the point Cobb decides he wants to marry Tru, I was a bit surprised. (Yes, I know they are hero and heroine, but I was surprised by the lack of internal discussion by Cobb before he takes the plunge. I may not be explaining this well; I knew Cobb admired her and was interested. I was just surprised by the question at that point.) It really is a small point I still loved the book!
By the end of the first book, I wanted to move to Bitter Springs; by the time I finished this one, I had my bags packed! Enjoy!

An interesting start; "find her!" Cobb is a private investigator hired by Andrew Mackey (a wealthy Chicago businessman) to find Tru. Andrew claims Tru stole something, but will not state what it was. Tru is now working as a schoolteacher in Bitter Springs, WY.
I didn't like this as much as I liked the first book. I did like that Cobb saw something in Tru and knew she didn't steal anything and that something more was going on. I did like that they started out slowly gradually becoming friends before they became more. I think my main issue was she still didn't know fully why he was in WY until after they were sleeping together.
The romance with a side of mystery was nice, but again, Cobb should have come clean sooner than he did.
