This is an acceptable addition to the series, not the best but not the worst. I liked the interaction with the cast of characters but it read as very safe - the author needs to shake it up a little in the next book. I liked the investigation and the way the resolution was arrived at. Looking forward to the next in series

If you like this series, I think you will enjoy this one.  It pretty much followed the direction the author hinted at in the previous books with the H realizing the h is his mate, but not wanting to pursue her for a couple of reasons. There was a ton of action in this one, and I really liked the way the h was able to handle herself in these situations.  I think it would have been a 5 star read for me if the h would have made the H work for it--just a little--after the way he hurt her.  I'm all for "fated mates" and I REALLY need my HEA, but a little "I'm sorry, I've been a jerk" from the H after getting a cold shoulder (for longer than 5 minutes) would have really made the book for me.  I did enjoy the interaction win the secondary characters we met throughout the series.  It's ok as a standalone, but the reader really benefits from reading the previous books to fully get the story.  Nice set up for the next installment.

This fourth book in the series focuses more on the romance between Orrin and Vance than anything else. This couple is good together, making for a fun read in that aspect. However, there was very little about the ongoing serial strangler case which was a bit of a miss for me. There are lots of emotions in this one with Vance going home to come out to his parents and getting some heart-wrenching news. Overall, the book is a nice addition to the series and it was nice to see Orrin come to terms with his feelings.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Glad to see two New species get together. Not as intense as other books in the series but still a great read.

I love this addition to the series. It clarifies some of the backstory of Dani - one of the main characters.

Book six continues this good series with a great couple and more intrigue.  I really enjoy the other character's updates and thank the author for that constant addition.

Excellent addition to the series. The story arc continues to evolve and it is easy to become invested in the characters. Very well written. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Great addition to the series. The old Hollywood glamor was nice there was a lack of romance compared to the other books.

A fun addition to the series.  No murder in this one.  It does advance the story between Lucy and Peter.  Set at a mystery weekend retreat (one where mysteries are solved).  So there is a murder, but it is but it is staged as part of the weekend and no one actually died. Cute, clean read.

If you have not read any of the series before this one probably won't make a lot of sense.  She has a boxed set of the first three or the first of the series is often offered free.  This is one of the series that is best to read in order.

Lucy owns an antique store in Helena Montana.  She has a few friends and a dog that regularly show up in the books.  Her boyfriend is a Deputy Sherriff and like all good cozies Lucy has a talent for finding bodies and being nosey.  Part of the backstory is she had been a crime reporter prior to relocating and opening her store.  Well written and for the most part humorous.  Author also writes under the name Lori Devoti

Good book.  It goes well with the other books in the series and can be a stand alone.  enjoy.

The book was a good addition to the King and Maxwell series. While it wasn't as fleshed out as some of the previous entries, it still provided the same thrill. The storyline, particularly the motivation of the antagonist was a bit far fetched but we receive more information on the backstory of our favorite P.I.s, particularly King. Love to say they finally get together but that will just have to wait for another installment.

I felt like this was a good addition to the series and I enjoyed how there were a reference to Ranger from the Stephanie Plum series. I did agree with a previous review that I hope the love triangle doesn't continue and become like the Stephanie Plum series.

This was a good addition to the series, but lacked the tension and great dialogue of the past few books. I read it to the end, but was able to put it down to read a couple of other books in the meantime. This isn't usual for me, especially for one of Robb's books. I like the plot, but it dragged in places and didn't have that "can't-put-it-down" feeling that many of the others in the series have. There also wasn't enough focus on relationship issues for me - I need a balance of both relationship and police mystery (or even more of a lean toward the relationship side) for me to become invested, and that was lacking. Overall, it wasn't a waste of my time and I did enjoy it, but it wasn't one of my favorites.

I read the prior 3 books in the series and enjoyed this one as well.  This would not be good as a stand alone first read though, and I think the storyline has at best one more book left in the series.

Great addition to the series.
Not really a stand alone book, I highly recommend you read the first three books in the series first, but this dovetails nicely into the ongoing adventures of the lead character and her family and associates.
