This is meant to be a dark and gritty romance series so bear that in mind if you do decide to give it a try. As with the other books in this series the author does deal with some pretty dark themes and there are references to rape, abuse, murder and predatory behaviour. This book is a romance, can be read as a stand-alone (although I recommend that you do check out the rest of the series) and features a sweet HEA. Piper is funny, strong and confident and was the key to how invested I was in the outcome of this story. Aside from the dialogue which felt a little stiff and unrealistic in places, the chemistry between Hale and Piper was great, especially as Hale is revealed to be a little more of a 'bad boy' than he first appears. Truthfully, I didn't expect too much from this book but it pleasantly surprised me. The fourth book in the Devil's Rock series focuses on Hale (Sweet Hill's Sheriff and all around golden boy) and Piper (the girl from the wrong side of the tracks with a dark secret) - tale as old as time, right? I'm going to blame that decision on the crappy, cold British weather we're having right now and my longing for a bit of heat. So, it seems that I subconsciously decided to binge read this entire series.
