Single Father Sheriff (Target: Timberline Book 1) Kindle Edition

An unsolved case once tore this sheriff’s town apart. Now it’s about to destroy his life in this riveting thriller—first in the Target: Timberline series.

When two children go missing, every parent’s worst fear becomes Sheriff Cooper Sloane’s reality. The single father doesn’t have a minute to waste and only a single lead: Kendall Rush, a woman who survived a similar abduction twenty-five years ago. Her twin sister was not so lucky.

Kendall’s return to Timberline has stirred up a lot of town chatter. Despite her tragic past, Cooper is more than willing to play the bad guy to get her to remember any tiny detail that could help. But he can’t prepare himself for her vulnerability, or determination. As the kidnapper’s taunts turn horrific, Cooper and Kendall must stop this sick game before it hits even closer to home . . .

When she was just five-years-old, Kendall Rush witnessed her twin sister being kidnapped. Now she's back in the small town where it all began to settle her aunt's estate. Sheriff Cooper Sloane needs a reluctant Kendall's help when two more children go missing. And Coop realizes, as someone plays multiple sick pranks on Kendall, his need to solve this case and protect not only her but his own little girl, before the danger becomes personal...

SINGLE FATHER SHERIFF is another of Ms. Ericson's stories that I had a hard time rating. I debated between three and four stars, but opted with the higher since the writing was good and both Kendall and Coop were entirely likable and genuine people. Even Coop's five-year-old daughter Steffi was a doll. The story was interesting and suspenseful, with some twists and surprises along the way. I wasn't quite satisfied with the romance however, which was slow going. For example, Kendall and Coop don't even kiss until more than 3/4 of the way in, and then they were suddenly hot and heavy. I also found the villain predictable as I figured it could only be one of two individuals, and once I ruled out the person who looked most obvious it was a no-brainer. Overall it was still an enjoyable story though and I'm definitely looking forward to reading the other books in this series and discovering what happened to Kendall's sister all those years ago.
