Heat: 2.5
POV: Dual
Theme/Tropes: cowboys, rockstars, stalkers
My thoughts; Ok, Roped In started off not as interesting to me. Rockstar with a stalker. Not that original. Has to hide out with a bad ass cop/cowboy. Yep, read that one too. And by about 50% in, I was just not feeling it. I didn't really like the relationship between Blake and Hadley. It just didn't feel real to me. I felt like they weren't developed enough for me to believe their relationship was real. Then, the book took a turn I was NOT expecting. I totally did not see the plot twist happening. The second half of the book is suspense and action that kept me guessing and reading. By the end, I believed the relationship between Blake and Hadley. Roped In started off meh for me but I am glad I stuck with it because the second 1/2 of the book was original and refreshing!

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: Who says a wild heart can't be tamed?

For years, I lived for the job and let it control me. Violence was all I knew. I protected, killed, and served. My name is Blake Evans, one of the best undercover cops in the country. I thought I was about to live a quiet life on my ranch in Wyoming until an old friend showed up and changed everything. He brought me her, Hadley Rivers, country music sensation and the one woman I couldn't have. I didn't want her but she had me completely roped in.

My job is to protect her, to keep her away from some psycho who wants her for himself. However, there's more to her story than I was led to believe. I promised to keep her safe and I won't back down . . . even if I have to die trying. I can't let him have her. ( )

An amazing story, a real page turner. There was wonderful fun, intrigue, twists and turns that make this a great suspenseful read. I loved how Blake and Hadley's relationship developed in the plot, and I liked all the secondary characters, they really added to the story. When the bad guy was revealed I was flabbergasted, wow! Great writing.
Missed the first book in the series, I'll have to go back and check it out. ( )
