I don’t know who I am if I’m not a cop. It’s the only thing I ever wanted to be.

Publisher’s Synopsis:
The only thing Rowan Beale ever wanted was to be a cop. But in the wake of her partner’s death, she still hasn’t been cleared to return to duty. Amid rumors of PTSD and struggling under the weight of survivor’s guilt, she’s starting to believe she never will be. Already at loose ends, when her Uncle Robert has a heart attack, she doesn’t hesitate to go to Wishful to take care of him.
Reserve officer Nash Brewer is a born care-taker, so of course he pitches in after his neighbor and mentor has heart surgery. But it’s not just the former Wishful Police Chief who needs his help. Robert’s strong, gutsy niece is hurting and haunted—and someone’s been targeting her. Nash can’t help but fall as he and Rowan investigate, while keeping the secret from her fragile, but sharp-eyed uncle.
When evidence points to Rowan herself as the perpetrator, the former Navy pilot knows in his gut there’s something more going on. But how can he ignore the facts of the case? And how can Rowan stand for one more person to believe she’s unstable, especially the man she wants to trust with her heart?
Point of view:
3rd Person. Alternating perspectives, not always by chapter, but it’s clearly defined.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
While this is a novella it is a complete and enjoyable story. Nolan manages to pack a punch in terms of giving a nice mix of romance, suspense, and small town feel. I love that she has crafted Rowan as a strong, intelligent, & competent woman who does not need to be rescued but is complimented by the equally qualified Nash.
This was a fun adventure I read in an afternoon and I’m looking forward to jumping right in to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.
Note: Kait Nolan’s Wishful and Wishing For A Hero series intertwine. Nolan has this nifty spreadsheet on her website showing the chronological order if you’re obsessive like me. While there are a few mentions of events & characters from book 1, Make You Feel My Love and a few of the Wishful citizens from other books – this absolutely stands well on its own.
