Heart Thief by PJ Fiala

Heart Thief, Bluegrass Security Book One by P.J. Fiala

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


4 ½ solid stars for this first book in a new series, Bluegrass Security. Levi and Sage are both ex military at different points of their lives. Sage has had to start over after spending all her savings on caring for her ailing father, then paying off his debts upon his death. She agrees to take a 2 week job, sight unseen, to try and start building her nest egg again to open her own security company.

Levi has been hiding out in Sapphire Falls, Nebraska after his wife divorced him to marry his best friend while he was overseas. Taking an IED while deployed pretty much solidified his never being normal again. His body aches every day and he can’t get around as well as he once could. He is happy to have a new guy starting at his security firm for the next 2 weeks. Hmm maybe he shouldn’t have assumed Sage was a man.

Sage and Levi start off on the wrong foot but quickly realize they have a mutual attraction to one another. Sage isn’t looking for a relationship and neither is Levi, he is still living in the past. When thefts start occurring in their small town, the company is called upon to investigate and set up security cameras to try and catch the thief. Will they be able to work together effectively or will their attraction make things awkward?

When Dirks and Sam head into town as well, things start to get interesting. Dirks and Sage have history as do Sam and Levi. But it’s the former that has Levi’s emotions all up in arms. He can’t be falling for Sage, can he?

This is my first read by the author, though I have quite a few on all my TBR lists. Apparently this is a book that was previously published with the title “We’re going to make it” as part of the Sapphire Falls Universe series. I’m not sure if this was a publishing issue, looks to have been part of the kindle world era, or what. That being said I never read the previous so it was new and fresh to my eyes. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy without expectations. Overall, I loved the story line and can’t wait to read more about this new fabulous foursome and all their shenanigans. I’m hoping Chuck made the move with them from Sapphire Falls to make that a fivesome, I believe the description coming in the blurb from Sam’s book describes him so fingers crossed.
