Reviews
Overall, I enjoyed the plot of this book, the mystery/crime solving storyline had me intrigued, but I feel like this isn't a book I will be thinking about. This was fast paced, where some moments I felt more time could have been taken to build the storyline. I unfortunately felt like the character development was lacking, I feel like more time could have been taken writing these characters and their storyline to make for a stronger emotional connection to them.
This was a fun book. I liked the romance mixed with the mystery of murder. In the first place the murder drew me in. The romance between the main couple kept me going. I didn't see the plot twist coming.
Rating: ★★★★☆I think this is the first time that I liked the FMC more than MMC, because I really loved her character.⟡
RECENSIONE COMPLETA SUL BLOG: https://butterflyandbokeffect.blogspot.com/2025/05/recensione-indigo-ridge-edens-1-devney.htmlNegli ultimi anni ho avuto modo di leggere diversi romanzi di Devney Perry e ogni volta i suoi romanzi mi catturano e mi fanno innamorare dei suoi personaggi. Anche questa volta ha colpito nel segno. Non solo i personaggi sono ben caratterizzati e attraverso il pov alternato riusciamo a conoscerli al meglio, ma anche la storia d'amore tra Griffin e Winnie mi ha folgorata, poiché la Perry ha unito il romanticismo a una buona dose di mistery che ha saputo tenermi incollata alle sue pagine dall'inizio alla fine. Ho divorato il romanzo animata dalla voglia di sapere come sarebbe finita la storia perchè sapevo che nella pagina successiva mi aspettava un colpo di scena, una rivelazione che mi avrebbe fatto sorgere altre domande.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.📚Indigo Ridge, the newest offering by Devney Perry, is the first book in the Eden series. Set in Quincy. Montana, 📚Indigo Ridge delivered a slow burn romance sprinkled a dash of suspense which will keep you turning the pages to the very end.I am fairly new to the author’s work. The few books of hers I read, I enjoyed and 📚Indigo Ridge is no different. I absolutely loved this book. The combination of wonderful characters, tight-knit families, charming small town setting, sizzling romance and a mystery, which kept me guessing, placed 📚Indigo Ridge on my list of favourite books for 2021.Winslow Covington, a detective with Bozeman Police Department, moved to Quincy, Montana, to start her job as the town’s new police chief. However, not all the residents welcomed her appointment to the post. They believed her familial relationship with the mayor got her the job. Based on the advice of grandfather, the first step involved winning over the Edens, Quincy’s founding family. On her first night in town, she encountered a handsome stranger. Believing he was an out of towner, she indulged her fantasy of a one-night stand, but the next day she discovered her mistake.Griffin Eden was not looking for a committed relationship, but was not opposed to a one-night stand. After all, the beautiful woman at the bar is a tourist, therefore the chances of seeing her again were zero to none. So imagine his surprise the following to discover his one-night stand and the new police chief was the same person.Griffin and Winslow burned up the pages from their first meeting. I loved how the romance developed. Their one night of passion slowly developed into more than they bargained for. Including the mystery added to the addictiveness of the story. It may not have been the focus of the story, but I found it engaging. So not only was I rooting for the romance, I hoped the solving of this case would prove Winslow’s competency as the police chief.While I loved Griffin and Eden as a couple, I also enjoyed getting to know them as individuals. Griffin was my favourite type of hero, confident, caring and passionate. Winslow’s compassionate nature, fairness, and bravery shined throughout the story. She can be tough while displaying her soft edges.📚Indigo Ridge completely consumed me. Winslow and Griffin’s story, along with the mystery, kept me glued to the pages. I couldn’t wait to find out how it would all play out. There was a moment where I feared for Winslow. I knew she would come through, but it didn’t prevent me from worrying. That’s how intense the scene the author created.Totally unputdownable and a must read for fans of small town romance sprinkled with a dash of suspense. If you have not read a book written by Devney Perry, 📚Indigo Ridge would be an excellent place to start.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
