You know if it's by B.J. Daniels, it's going to be a wild ride! This one is all about Deputy Willie Colt. He is in the process of transferring a criminal back to Montana from Washington when things take a turn. They're attacked and the criminal gets away. The locals in Washington are less than helpful and Willie teams up with lawyer Eleanor to get to the bottom of things. But things are going to get more difficult before they get better as Willie and Eleanor get closer.

The chemistry between Willie and Eleanor certainly isn't lacking. I'm a sucker for the opposites attract trope and B.J. Daniels did it exceptionally in this story. While I was able to eventually figure things out right before the characters did, there were plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing throughout. And there was plenty of danger along the way to keep me worried about Willie and Eleanor.

If you have read any of the other books in the Colt Brothers series, you're going to fall for Willie just as you have the others. And if you haven't read any of the Colt Brothers, I strongly recommend that you do! You're sure to come to love B.J. Daniels as much as I do!

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ( )

Set Up in the City by BJ Daniels
Colt Brothers Investigation #4. Harlequin Intrigue romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Detective Willy Colt travels from his ranch home in Montana to a Seattle high rise to meet with attorney Eleanor Shaffer. They need to work together to bring an arsonist to justice.

I didn’t understand how this couple connected as quickly or deeply as they did. I just didn’t see it. But I’m in the minority per the reviews posted and respect that attraction can be quite random and can overcome any cultural differences.

The underlying story is suspenseful with a good twist and well written. ( )
