This is the second story featuring Rocky Mountain bounty hunting sisters. Cara Pax is the sister least likely to go after a big skip. She is in school to be a kindergarten teacher and does research for her sisters who do the fieldwork. But as things keep getting tighter due to her mother's transgressions, Cara decides to try to help out more in the field.

Her first attempted skip turns out to be a big, burly fascinating man named Henry Kavenski who happens to be accused of murder. He had every opportunity to punish her for her amateur stalking and even breaking and entering. But as their paths seem to keep crossing, she just cannot shake the fact that she does not believe he is a cold-blooded killer. And the fact that he seems to keep coming to her rescue seals the deal.

He is resourceful, protective, and there when she needs him. She is plucky, smart, tenacious, and being pushed out of her comfort zone. He has secrets and a shady history that should bother her. And he should be concerned that her original intent (and that of her family would be) to bring him in for bail money.

But someone is out to get them, either due to her family, her other investigation, or his past. And now they are in it together for better or worse. Cara is getting a crash course in the dangers of bounty hunting and hanging out with the seedier part of the world. Henry is getting a glimpse into what it feels like to have someone believe in him. They have each other's back in a host of hazardous situations, but they will have to escape all the trouble following them if they want a chance to make it out alive.

There is a lot of on-the-run action versus relationship development, but I did like both of them and felt they had chemistry. This brings back her four sisters, Charlie, Felicity, Norah, Molly, and her boyfriend, John, and throws in a few antagonists. It is full of suspense, danger, action, and some twists. There are some humorous scenes and a fish-out-of-water element due to Cara being inexperienced in the field. And in between all the danger and drama, there is an unlikely love story, personal growth, and redemption. There is still an ongoing story arc continuing throughout the series, though each book focuses on one couple. Next up seems to be sister, Norah. 
Cara Pax doesn’t want to be a bounty hunter. Her dream is to become a kindergarten teacher, but knows the bounty hunting is what pays for her college classes. She may be a wiz on the computer, able to research all aspects of a case, but she hasn’t done much field work. Since her sisters are all busy on other cases, she takes it upon herself to jump in the field tracking Henry Kavenski. As she continues her research and her surveillance, she becomes convinced that he isn’t guilty.

She is quirky and a little naive, but has a whole lot of heart. He is protective, quick thinking, and on the run. Together they are an unlikely pair working together to clear his name.

There was more action packed into this story than there was relationship building. These two quickly find themselves in situation after situtation that requires quick thinking and fortitude to get out of. Cara’s inexperience in the field causes her to make several decisions based on her naivete and makes keeping her safe even harder for Henry.

I was really hoping the story arc with their mother and the stolen necklace was going to play a bigger role in this storyline, but the search for both their mother and the necklace was all off page (and not really mentioned). This was a fun return to the Pax sister’s story and I look forward to more from this series.
