I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count, and not a single one was for fun.
As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen.
I want her out of my town and out of my head.
Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she isn't going anywhere. And her spree of minor infractions—who runs a yoga class without a license?—is hitting dangerously close to home. Her latest protest has her chained to a tree on the boundary of my family’s resort. The last thing we need is bad press ruining the short tourism season when the resort is already one bad month away from bankruptcy.
I'll do whatever it takes to save Starlight Cove. Even if that means handcuffing Luna to my bed.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
Defiant Heart is the first book in the new Starlight Cove, and it certainly started the series off with a bang! It was sweet, steamy, and full of humor. Brady was controlled and grumpy while Luna was laid back and sunshiny, so they were complete opposites. Their differences made their interactions intense and the chemistry between them was hot from the beginning.
Brady was trying to save his family and their resort. They were trying to have the resort featured in a popular travel magazine. They couldn’t afford for the resort or town to have any negative media and Luna was creating waves. Luna had driven through Starlight Cove and loved the quaintness of the small town. She had seen the results big corporations had on small towns and businesses. She didn’t want to see that happen to Starlight Cove, but she also didn’t want to see the resort have to close.
This opposites-attract story was beautifully written and an enjoyable book to read. I loved all the witty banter, fun side characters, and small-town setting. Brady and Luna were lovable and easy to connect with. I loved meeting the McKenzie siblings and look forward to future books in the series.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Meet Brighton Walsh
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing.
She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them.
Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids—one who’s already taller than her and one who’s catching up too fast—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it’s mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.
