I really like the characters in the Cardwell Ranch series. I haven't read the series in order and actually read one of the books that follows this one first. The series is based around a large family of brothers and their cousins. Even though there are reoccurring characters, I didn't have any trouble reading them in no certain order.
In this story, Hayes Cardwell is visiting his brother at his cousin's ranch. He accidentally ends up saving a local real estate agent who was the random target of a serial killer. McKenzie never really sees her rescuer..just his eyes. Because he asks to remain anonymous, McKenzie has to try to get back to her normal life without being able to thank Hayes. When the two meet again by chance, a connection is forged, and Hayes appoints himself as McKenzie's protection. As the thwarted killer retaliates against her and tries to correct the mistake he made by failing to kill her the first time, McKenzie becomes appreciative of Hayes's overprotective nature. As the danger gets closer, so does the couple.
This was a good story with plenty of suspense and not a lot of the cheesy overdramatics occasionally found in mass market type stories. I have read many books by this particular author and always enjoy them. Now that I have read two books in this series featuring Tag's wedding, I feel the need to find and read his story. :-)
