The Sullivan Brothers #3
Falling Hard and Fast
HEAT OF THE NIGHT
When shadows fell across the sultry streets of Charity, Louisiana, the usually laidback sheriff was too restless for sleep. Cage Gauthier had an unsolved murder on his hands--and a beguiling Yankee gal on his mind. But Zoey Prescott seemed as oblivious to the danger stalking this steamy Southern town as she was to Cage's smoldering desire ....
Zoey wasn't about to run scared -- not from Cage's heated gaze, and not from the killer they were trailing. Still, she kept a safe distance from the slow-talking, quick-thinking lawman ...until one steamy night when the heady mix of passion and peril sparked a seduction she could no longer deny--or resist ....

About the author
Kylie Brant
87 books642 followersThe mother of five children, Kylie Brant claims she began writing to save her sanity. Plotting stories became her method of escape from the reality of constant ball games, chauffeuring kids, and refereeing "minor" disagreements between her perfect offspring.
In 1992 she was elated to get a call from Silhouette offering to buy her second novel. Home with laryngitis at the time, she still managed to croak out agreement, and her career was born. A few months later she went on to sell Rancher's Choice, the first manuscript she’d written.
Kylie is married to her high school sweetheart, and they make their home in Iowa. She insists that all her heroes are based on her husband of 23 years because he possesses that most heroic of make qualities — ironing skills. Those abilities come in handy, as she juggles a full time teaching job with writing and a family.
Doing things the easy way has never held much appeal for this multi award-winning author. She graduated with high honors from the University of Northern Iowa. A graduation photo shows her in cap and gown holding her two sons, one aged 16 months and the other three weeks. She went on to obtain a teaching job working with learning-disabled children while completing her master’s degree at night and during summers.
"There was a time in my life when I could imagine myself as a life-long student," she recalls. "I actually toyed with the idea of pursuing a doctorate. But instead, my life took a spin and I ended up writing romances. I’ve never regretted it!" Her family has since been completed by the birth of another son and a set of twins, a boy and a girl.
Kylie’s books are regularly featured on bestseller lists such as Waldenbooks and B. Dalton Bookseller. With over a million copies of books in print, her novels have been distributed in 20 countries and released in seven languages.
Family and friends are the main focus of Kylie’s life. When she isn’t writing or teaching, she enjoys reading and flower gardening. She loves traveling, preferring beach, ocean, and room service.

I really enjoyed this one especially the romance between Cage and Zoey. Zoey has some trust issued after being burned and is feeling weird now that her siblings are all grown up and gone. She comes to town to write her new book on a murder.
Cage being the Sheriff warns her off and also takes an interest in her and pursues her. He's really great hero and tells Zoey he wants everything.
We also get a Sullivan brothers re-union.

3.5 out of 5.
I really liked this book. The author has a great sense of humor, the book has great central characters and a good mystery plot.
People who don't read out and out romance much, you could start with this. It focuses on the mystery part as well, so if you don't like the romance you could always count on the mystery.
Oh...did I tell you the main character is a writer?
I didn't know this was a series book and possibly not the first or the second, but I did not feel even for a moment that I should have read the previous books first.
I'm definitely going to look out for more Kylie Brant books.

You know, it's funny. I have very clear recollections about the major points in both Heartbreak Ranch and Undercover Lover. I had next to no memory of this book, even though I know I've read it numerous times!
Well, that's even better, as it was like reading it for the first time! I liked it. Liked the suspense, although I would have preferred more clues there, and enjoyed the relationship between Cage and Zoey.
