Brash

Lynn Braden

Grace Hunter is the town veterinarian, and her father is the former sheriff. Cass Cavanaugh died on her father's watch, and he seems to know something about her death, but Grace is losing him to dementia and fears that she may never know all of his secrets. The Cavanaugh brothers have been pushing Grace to find out what her father knows, especially Cole, the MMA fighter and Cass's twin. The more she pushes her father, the more he seems to pull away from her, and when her father's best friend dies in jail, she and the Cavanaughs fear that they may never know what happened to Cass.

Brash doesn't really get going until about midway through the book when Cole's experiences as an MMA fighter become part of the story as well as more about Cass Cavanaugh's murder, making the second half of the book much more interesting than the first half. However, the relationship between Cole and Grace is a little underdeveloped. Overall, though, this book is a good entry in The Cavanaugh Brother's series, and the ending leads right into the last book in the series, Bonded.
