The first installment of the Midnight Pass, Texas miniseries has lots of emotional situations along with a big mystery to solve. Although a couple truly liked each other, the man’s fear over the career choice of the woman had him pushing her out of his life. Yet it has not caused their thoughts about one another to fade away nor their desires to lessen. When a baffling murder has them interacting for many days, pent-up longing fuels numerous clashes. Addison Fox skillfully blends a carefully carried out killing with the circumstances related to a couple whose relationship is constantly filled with tension. I never knew what was going to happen in the story in regard to the couple or the deadly attack. THE COWBOY’S DEADLY MISSION is compelling because of countless secrets and a complicated romance.
Since the family ranch of Tate Reynolds is located in the southwestern part of Texas, there has lately been increasing problems of illegal activity. Alarmingly, the most recent incident also included a murder on the property, and Annabelle Granger is the Midnight Pass detective who will be investigating. She and Tate knew each other all through school, and they even had a short fling. But her decision to be a cop did not set well with him, and they parted ways. Though many years have gone by, they still never seem to agree on anything. Yet Belle wants the cooperation of Tate plus his family and ranch hands, so their upspoken attraction and animosity need to be ignored for a time.
With difficult incidents in both their backgrounds, Tate and Belle had to overcome stressful events. Though they appear to have moved on, these past episodes greatly influence the way each presently lives. Tate wants his family’s ranch to prove there is nothing prohibited going on, while Belle needs to show that she is a capable cop who is always ready to help. While their strong feelings sometimes led to harsh words, they would never abandon the other if the need arose. It was often fascinating to see what either Tate or Belle would say when flustered, especially since the reason for most of their agitation is driven by concern. The intensity behind many of their actions told me their natures were spirited, and I enjoyed watching them when passion was the main cause for their response. THE COWBOY’S DEADLY MISSION has a wide range of emotions that are honestly frank.
What was really happening in Midnight Pass is told with some carefully placed clues, and I was surprised by several of the disclosures. Addison Fox definitely kept me reading to discover the answers to crucial questions. Her story is one constructed around troubles actually occurring in today’s news, thus making the book come across as realistic. It was interesting to meet the other members of Tate’s family, and I am hoping they all get to tell their personal stories.
I voluntarily reviewed the book, and all comments are my honest opinion

Harlequin suspense.

Okay, it's a Harlequin, so you expect predictable character development. But the hero in this story is so chauvinistically 'concerned' about the heroine that I had to stop reading and skim through the book. If you look past that, she's a cop with a serial killer and drug trade to legitimately worry about. Which makes the attraction she feels for Tate really implausible. But it's a Harlequin - he grows, she solves the crime, all is happy - sort of.

misleading book name
I love this story in all aspects but the name of the book has nothing whatsoever to do with the story. Please rename it to give credit where credit is due, the heroine 🦸♀️

Just trying to do his work on his own ranch when a body appears and this causes an old flame to appear on the ranch. Pulled me in and made this book a quick read.

Didn't connect with the characters in this one. They were too wishy-washy towards each other (hate/love/hate/love). I like the brothers.
