Summary:
Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart. One he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancée and his derailed surgical career. It's a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston. But then the real circus finds him.
Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she's not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with a broken leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor. The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together . . . and the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts will catch up.
My Thoughts:
This was an interesting switch-up from the last couple books. While Rose is a killer, she doesn't really have the stomach for gore. She has a booth set up at the circus where she reads tarot, and whenever a woman in an abusive relationship comes for a reading, Rose plans to help them with murdering the partner. But when she fails to complete a kill, she ends up at Fionn's door needing help with a broken leg. Fionn isn't really a killer, but he helps out his brothers who are killers. Even so, he has a darkness inside him that he's constantly keeping at bay, and has been for years. Then Rose shows up, rocking his world upside-down. They originally agree to a friends-with-benefits deal, but as they spend more time together, feelings start to pop up.
This was a really fun read. I enjoyed the constant banter between our two main characters, and their eventual romance felt like it happened at a realistic pace. The characters from the previous books show up a few times, which felt like such a treat! My only real complaint was that there wasn't that much murder.
My Rating: 4 stars
