Case #OK0773: Reckless endangerment of a single mother's sanity
Investigating Officer: Breanna James
Suspect: Adam Spencer, officer's next-door neighbor
Background: From the moment she'd drawn her gun on him, Breanna knew he would be trouble. His touch thrilled her, his kisses floored her. And his tea-party manners had little Maggie dreaming of daddies. But Breanna knew better than to trust her own judgment when it came to men. And as a cop, she couldn't help but wonder why he was here, in Cherokee Corners, in the abandoned cottage next door? And why, since he'd claimed no interest in family, was he so interested in hers?
Case status: Open, pending further investigation

This was a nice decent read. The heroine is a vice-cop and single mother whose one brush with romance left her bruised and disillusioned; she met and married her husband too quick and he walked out on her when she was pregnant calling her a half-breed when he left (her dad is Irish and mom Native American). The hero is the cousin of said husband who is now dead and who before dying asked the hero to check-in on heroine and his kid. So, the hero moves next door to her to see what kind of person she is. The hero is an accountant who doesn't plan on marrying and having kids because he saw the hell his cousin put his parents through. H/h share an attraction but the hero is honourable enough to tell her who he is and his motives before any intimacy between them. The heroine is also being threatened by some whacko and men are being murdered and displayed in the town. The mystery of the heroine's threat is solved while the thread of the second will be continued in the next book. This was a decent start to a series that did enough build-up that I will read the next books in this.

Good book. I really liked Breanna and her family. They were a close, loving family, proud of their Cherokee heritage. They were also all involved in law enforcement, which made things much easier when the stalker zeroed in on Breanna. Adam came to town just to check on Breanna and Maggie, to carry out the last wish of his cousin. He stayed because he came to care for them, even though he had no intentions for anything long-term. When things started to go bad, he was there for them.

This book is why I have bought other Carla Cassidy full sized, normal books.
The story in this was unmemorable but Cassidy's writing was wonderful. I think I chewed my way though three of her books, all "Cherokee Corners" in one night.
