About this listen

In the hottest summer on record, Iron Lake reservoir is emptying, revealing secrets that were intended to stay hidden beneath the water.

Best-selling horror writer Chris Lassiter struggles for inspiration and he's close to never writing again. His life has become an endless loop of nothing but empty pages, personal appearances, and a marketing machine that is systematically destroying his muse. In a desperate attempt to force Chris to complete unfinished manuscripts his agent buys a remote cabin. All Chris has to do is hide away and write, but he's lost his muse, and not even he can make stories appear from thin air.

Sawyer Wiseman left town for Chicago, chasing the excitement and potential of being a big city cop, rising the ranks, and making his mark. A case gone horribly wrong draws him back to Lancaster Falls. Working for the tiny police department in the town he'd been running from, digging into cold cases and police corruption, he spends his day's healing, and his nights hoping the nightmares of his last case leave him alone.

Contains mature themes.

Before you start this you have to know that there are 3 books in this series. It is a murder mystery sort of thing, and while that story goes through all three books, each one has a different romance with characters involved in working out the crime.

This first book was great and while the romance was great, it was so much more than that. While Chris and Sawyer fall in love through the book, their story is almost secondary to what is going on at Iron Lake and the small town.

I don't usually like books that go over more than one book, but I have to admit the murders and bones had me and I had to keep going to find out. I wasn't disappointed.

It was great and well worth the credits.

What a great start

Plagued by writer’s block, Chris Lassiter is sent to Lancaster Falls by his agent for inspiration. It’s not long before he lays on local cop, Sawyer Wiseman. When bones are found, the cold case of a missing boy which has cast a pall over the town suddenly heats up. This has everything I love in a mm romance - well-formed main characters, an ensemble cast, and a solid plot - I’ve yet to find an RJ Scott novel that isn’t compelling and extremely well-written. There’s a mild cliff hanger and some unfinished business but it didn’t rankle a bit. I loved every moment, especially when narrated by the deep, smooth voice of Sean Crisden. He makes the characters real. Can’t wait to start the other two books!

Utterly compelling mystery romance!
