The Blurb:
I dig. It’s what I do.
I’ll literally use a shovel to answer a question. Some answers, though,
have been buried too deep for too long. But I’ll find those, too. And I
know where to dig—the Blackwood Estate on the edge of the Mississippi
Delta. Garrett Blackwood is the only thing standing between me and the
truth. A broken man—one with desires that dance in the darkest part of
my soul—he’s either my savior or my enemy. I’ll dig until I find all his
secrets. Then I’ll run so he never finds mine. The only problem? He
likes it when I run.
Author’s Note: This is a standalone mystery/suspense romance with violence and explicit/intense sex. If you need a trigger warning, then this isn't the book for you.

I dig men with tats and beards. You may have noticed from…a few…of my prior reviews.
Pure coincidence.
The story begins with Elise, an archaeology Ph.D. student, wanting to dig around Garrett Blackwood’s land to look for remnants of Native American settlements…and ya know, see if she can dig up her missing/presumed dead father. As you do.
Blackwood is a private guy, not interested in Elise’s plans in the least. Elise isn’t deterred and takes the liberty of signing off on his permission to proceed. What could go wrong?
What’s that? The woods are haunted with the screams of women near his house? Blackwood has some truly dark desires when it comes to his sexual predilections? Elise gets maimed by wild animals and stuck with said sadist?
The motivations for Elise were complex and gave this hot n’ sexy plot a little extra mmphh. But who am I kidding, I’d have read it anyways. Blackwood's dialogue is witty, sexy as hell, and manages to land in the alpha male zone without being douchy. That's a thin line to tread. Bravo! That being said, I’d caution anyone who has a history of trauma to take a look at the content warnings before diving into this one. It may not be for everyone.
For my part, though, this was hot hot hot! Andddd it came with a full-length copy of Counsellor, another very dark series which I’m now stuck on as well. Win win.
