Indigo Ridge (The Edens #1) by Devney Perry

Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana’s new chief of police, she’s determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn’t earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor.

According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town’s founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn’t realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty.

Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she’s trying to forget. He’s insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she’s an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths.

As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy’s own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

5 out of 5 stars

Indigo Ridge was simply phenomenal! I loved the engaging and intriguing characters, the sexual tension and heat, and the seriously fantastic suspense element that had me on the edge of my seat. This was a stellar introduction to a new series! I'm pretty sure this is my favorite Devney Perry book. I know I say that with every book of hers I read because I love them all but this one was on a whole other level for me.

Winn and Griffin were everything! I loved the instant connection they had. Griffin was wonderful, talk about a sexy cowboy. I loved how he felt about Winn and the push and pull that was happening between them. He was so sweet, caring, and charming. I love a strong heroine, one that takes life on and that was Winn. She’s tough but she’s also full of heart, kind, and dedicated. I loved her tenacity. I loved learning about her past and her finding her place in Quincy. I loved the build to Griffin and Winn’s feelings coming out, all the emotion, tension, and heat (and these two were off the charts hot together!). I loved those moments when few words were shared, but what was shared was filled with so much meaning creating these really special moments that filled my soul.

The suspense element was so well done with the best build. There were clues and hints that had me guessing and I was hooked! Towards the end I felt like I was holding my breath, it was gripping and intense and I couldn't read it fast enough. I love how this was all intertwined with Winn and Griffin connecting.

I am completely in love with the Eden family and the fun-loving siblings and the importance they have on the aspect of family. I really enjoyed learning the Eden’s rich history and how connected they are to Quincy. There was a really great, well-rounded cast of characters introduced and I am excited for more in the series. There's a bit at the end that has me thrilled for what's to come in Juniper Hill.

I couldn't have asked for more. Devney Perry does not disappoint. This was a well-executed story with great details, awesome dialogue, wonderful characters, and a fantastic build. Indigo Ridge was a thrilling, passionate, and exciting read!
