Small town—big problems. Jericho Crewe is back in Mosely, Montana, trying to deal with police corruption, interfering feds, his newly discovered family members, and, of course, Wade Granger.
He doesn’t really need a biker war on top of it all, but as the bodies start to pile up, it becomes pretty clear that’s what he’s got. Not only that, but Wade’s involved somehow, and as soon as Wade is a part of something, things that seemed clear become cloudy.
With the feds breathing down his neck, Jericho has to find his way through Wade’s maze of half truths and manipulations. It would all be so much easier if Jericho could think straight in the other man’s presence. So much easier if their passionate past could be forgotten, and if he could be sure he’s strong enough to resist the temptation of a passionate present.

Jericho Crewe is back working as under sheriff in the small town of Mosely Montana, town which he left behind fifteen years ago with the abusive father who was up to no good and his first love Wade Granger whom apparently Jericho could never forget. Note that this a second book in the four book series and you cannot read it as a stand alone, no matter what the blurb says, I mean you can start here I guess, but these are not four separate stories just taking place in one small town as a common setting, you would have to go back to get the full background on the characters and their motivations. The motivations we think characters have anyway, because right now I am not sure about the truthfulness of any character except POV one and that would be Jericho.As we know after the explosive events of the first book Jericho is kind of on loan for six months to Jericho's childhood friend and now town's sheriff Kayla Morgan. I thought from the first book that the guy is the sweetheart and still think so, rough exterior notwithstanding , and you really don't need to go that deep to see that he is one in my opinion.
Yes, he is still helping his half siblings about whom he never knew till he came to the city and learned that his bastard of the father was dead ( murdered most likely). Yes that siblings' mom is still an ungrateful shrew and I am frankly now annoyed beyond belief with her behavior. No Nikki he does not owe you *nothing* and he is not obligated to take care of your kids. Good on you that he feels family obligations, but not everybody would do the "blood thicker than water" thing, so be grateful that Jericho is.
And then there is Wade Granger. Local crime lord/ crime boss/ somebody who only wants to become a crime boss and pretend that he is a bigger fish than he really is and somebody who loved Jericho and never forgot him either apparently. Here is the thing - the love affair between cop and the criminal is by far one of my *least favorite tropes* in m/m fiction and in any fiction really, but I only started seeing it so prominently when I started reading m/m romance. I don't know why so many m/m writers seem so fond of it - I mean I get "opposites attracts", "from enemies to lovers" and all that, I love me some good "from enemies to lovers " myself, but please! It makes cop look stupid at best and corrupted at worst. Not that I mind that, but maybe not in the romantic hero? In any event, while on the surface this series seem to plunge into this trope, I think that it takes the road a little less traveled.
First and foremost Jericho did not hide anything from anybody - he tells his Boss and federal agents about communication Wade has with him, visits Wade makes and all of that. But more importantly I cannot figure Wade out - I still hope, hope to the high heaven that he is not the murderer and not even a criminal no matter how everything appears to be. I mean, couple of times the things he said just made me go, hmmmm. Note that this is not a spoiler of any kind, just my speculation - as I said, right now while it is not clear that Wade is a murderer, everything points out to him being a crime boss and very manipulative one at that.
And if he is a criminal, well, while as I said, Jericho does not hide anything, in this book *anything* already transformed into *almost anything* and I do not just mean sexual tension between them which I would normally really enjoy seeing between the couple. At this point I would have expected him to walk away if he still thinks Wade is a bad guy and he certainly thinks that - too involved, too close to be anything close to objective investigator.
I was still very entertained and enjoyed the investigation and trying to decide who hides what things and will read the next book, but now I am even closer to wanting to slap Jericho. We shall see at the end I guess.

3.5*
This is the second book in the Common Law series and it's more of the same, Jericho is back in Mosely as under-sheriff trying to sort his way through the police corruption to help his friend and sheriff Kayla while trying to ignore his ever present interest in Wade Granger, dealing with his father's widow and kids plus yes you've guessed it the DEA and Feds are back.
This is a great little book and there's so much here to like, interesting characters, humour, small town feel plus a good story holding the book together and Wade, let's not forget Wade because he's the highlight of this book for me, well him and Elijah and his gun obsession.
I settled into this quicker than I did with the previous book which is what you'd expect since I'd already been introduced to the town and nearly all the characters.
It starts with Wade's bar being burnt down and it goes from there, we have bikers, out-of-towners, smuggling, sexual tension (yes yes yes at last) and a gun obsessed six year old boy.
Elijah is a delight.
“Can I shoot your gun?”
"No,” Jericho said with a scowl.
Elijah turned to Wade. “Can I shoot yours?”
I shoot your gun?” the boy asked.
A blond head poked around the kitchen door. “If I eat broccoli, can I shoot your gun?”
“What? No. I don’t care if you eat broccoli. I was thinking burgers or something. No shooting.”
"If I tidy my room, can I shoot it?”
"I don’t care if you tidy your room. No shooting.”
It clearly wasn’t the answer Elijah was looking for. “Maybe tomorrow?”
My rating may seem low and honestly this is a nice little book but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I'd expected or hoped.
I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley and Riptide Publishing.
It's Kate Sherwood...... I mean, c'mon! If you like her writing, this series is a must read.
