About this audiobook
Paradise, Idaho, may not be the largest town, but for newly minted professor Zoe Santangelo, it’s the first step on the path to her big break. After teaching in a small Idaho school, her next stop is the Ivy League, and no one is going to stand in her way. She’ll do what it takes to move up, to protect her students from a creepy campus stalker—and to protect her heart from Cal Jackson, the hot, hunky cowboy who keeps coming to her rescue.
After a career-ending injury, Cal has left professional football behind and come home to work the family farm. He’s determined not to get mixed up with any more city girls who don’t want to settle down with a country boy. But after he rescues sassy geologist Zoe from a snowy ditch, he can’t stop thinking about her. Can Cal keep Zoe safe from whoever is targeting her—and can he show her that having ambition doesn’t mean she has to sacrifice love?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have some mixed feelings about this book. This was my first from this author and definitely not the last one.
The beginning is great, fast and interesting. It got my attention. But then either the story slowed down and started to drag a bit either I lost my mood for this book. The first one third I read very fast and that stopped in the middle. Fortunately, somehow the last one third was again a fast read for me. So, yeah, I'm not really sure where is the problem.
The characters are one of the best thing of this story. Zoe and Cal are great and I really enjoyed the interaction between them. I like it when the hero is softer and romantic than heroine, it's a refreshment after all those typical alpha men. Also, the reason behind their split is quite believable. I totally liked the secondary characters and they are the reason I read the other books in this series. For a moment I wished for Rochelle and Luke to be together but now I think that it is okay that either of them has his/her own story.
The suspense part is okay. I wish it was a bit more developed. But it is generally okay while not being very innovative. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this story, the characters, the mystery, just all of it! There was not a lot of sexy time for those of you that enjoy more heat, as I do, but I still loved it well enough that I'm reading the second book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first book in the Paradise, Idaho series. A new romantic suspense series by Rosalind James. Strong on romance, light on suspense. I particularly liked how the relationship between Zoe, an academic minded, career driven professor who is new to the area, and Cal, the ex-football star and hometown hero who is now a farmer, developed over time. No insta-love, but realistic up-and-down relationship building. Throw in a great cast of side characters (very supportive parents on Cal's side, an amazing dog, some fun friends), witty banter and a serial rapist who terrorizes students and Ms. James has produced another successful start to a series. Also, another definite audiobook recommendation. Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross are well known and loved narrators and they delivered another 5 star performance here.
