After a tragic shooting left him wounded and in disgrace, all that remained of former deputy sheriff Jude Anderson’s life was a shattered femur, the standard disability package, and a host of issues. Jude seeks sanctuary in a remote upstate cabin and tries to get his life back on track.

Life has other plans when Jude finds a dead man draped across his front doorstep. The victim is the first hookup Jude’s had in, well, ever. Once Jude processes that shock he gets another when he learns that the homicide detective sent to investigate the murder is Rowan Muir, Jude’s ex. Their split was ugly, and Rowan isn’t the forgiving type.

Now Jude is drawn back into a world he left behind: murder investigations and fighting the undeniable attraction he has for Rowan. Rowan is still holding onto a substantial grudge. But both men need to figure out how to cope with being thrown together again, because it’s becoming increasingly clear that Jude is being targeted by a murderer – one who may have come from Jude’s past for revenge.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"These MC's were phenomenal together. Even though there's anger in their initial meeting the attraction between them was a spark you could feel from miles away." -- Lovebyte Reviews.

"I really enjoyed the banter between the two men, and the evolution of their relationship from the first page to the last, but it was the chemistry between the two MCs that was the icing on the cake for me. It was the very best kind of tension, where you're not sure if they're going to throw a punch or rip each other's clothes off." -- Bombshell Books

"I also loved the unpredictability of the first half of the book especially when the author tried to pin the case against several suspects - I thought that was really good." - Paddylast, Inc.

"This book really grabbed me, and I was glad to have the day off so I could devote the time to finish it! Jude melted my heart, and I was so eager to watch him get the love and acceptance that he deserved." -Watch & Word Society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Rowan and Jude!
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016

I had to read the 2 books and novella before rating this because I couldn't stop! Both characters were wonderful and well written by the author. The story in both books was great in terms of the mysteries and their romantic development. They both had insecurities and as you read along you can understand if you've ever been in love with someone. Trusting someone to hold your heart isn't ever easy as an adult unless you're very young and innocent and think you're madly in love.

I read this through Kindle Unlimited but will promptly buy these books so that they're in my library forever. Definitely will be in my re-read category! Can't wait for the next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great, sexy read

This book really grabbed me, and I was glad to have the day off so I could devote the time to finish it! Jude melted my heart, and I was so eager to watch him get the love and acceptance that he deserved.

The romance between these men was paced just right. I liked Rowan, and I loved picking up on the feelings he hid beneath is cool exterior. Ford did a great job of showing who he was without just info dumping. The build between them was sweet, sexy and burned up the pages.

I liked the mystery, though I definitely read it for the romance. I am very eager to read the next in the series, and I was excited to see that there would be a follow up.

If you need a great read with a slow, perfect romance to burn up the pages of your kindle, grab this one now!

Definitely recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars Loose end but ok read
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2015

Who was Rowan on the phone with while Jude was in the hospital? Who was in planning to meet up with? That nagged me through the whole book. Every time I thought they were finally going to talk about it they would skate right pass it. It left me unfulfilled. It was a pretty good story but that loose end was a big blow. The other loose ends about the family of the dead cops and the drug dealer family still wanting revenge can lead to future books and I can believe that. But not a dressing the cheating and the phone calls that kind of lead Jude to the decision that Rowan didn't want to be there anymore was pretty big not to explore.

So many interesting moments in the beginning of this story. A tiny town. And our hero, Jude, is up to his neck in someone else's foul play. Then his lover from a while back shows up to figure out what's going on. It takes some time but they eventually work together and the old flames spark a bit. I loved these guys. The mystery was interesting. Rescuing their relationship was very satisfying for the reader. Lissa Ford is always an entertaining story teller. Totally enjoyed this book.

Doubleback was a developing story with some complex characters. I thought the plot twists were really good. I was glad to see more of how Jude and Rowan's relationship was in the past and turned toward the good. I bought this based on another author's reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015

I really enjoyed this book. I've read Lissa Ford before and enjoyed that and thought this book sounded great. I wasn't disappointed. I thought the characters were well-developed and found both of them relatable. Each of them broken and hurting in their own ways and both needing the other, without wanting to admit it, to help heal the hurt. I'm a sucker for a good love story and I thought this was a great one. To me, it moved at a good pace, definitely had some mystery to the other stuff going on and seeing Jude and Rowan reconnecting just tied it all together very nicely. Definitely recommend the book and looking forward to the continuation of this story!

3.0 out of 5 stars This was my first book by Lissa Ford and I’ll be looking forward to the next installment.
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015
The book starts off with former deputy sheriff Jude Anderson opening his front door to find the dead body of the man he had hooked up with a few nights before. His morning only gets worse when the trooper in charge of the investigation turns out to be his ex, Rowan Muir. One year ago their relationship ended abruptly after Jude was shot in the line of duty, which also eventually resulted in his leaving the job. Rowan is all business when he arrives. He is well dressed, moving up in his career and in the closet, just like Jude remembers.

As the investigation moves along, the events that ended Jude’s career are dredged up in the search for a suspect and he is forced to face his past failed relationship with Rowan. The two men have vastly differing recollections as to why things ended and the accusations as to who was at fault get heated. Through flashbacks and arguments their story begins to come out. As the danger mounts and Jude spends more time with Rowan, his attraction to the man he hasn’t gotten over surges once again no matter how much he wants to prevent it.

The chemistry between Jude and Rowan is out of this world! They dance that fine line between love and hate but the underlying sexual tension is always simmering. When their arguing finally tips over into passion the payoff is worth it. The two are smoking hot together. While it is clear both men want to be back together and are willing to each own up to the part they played in their breakup, there are still issues that could prevent them having a future. The story is told from Jude’s POV, and while I would have liked to have had some of Rowan’s, their discussions gave me a good enough sense of his feelings.

The story’s real focus is the relationship but the mystery was done well and kept me guessing between a few suspects for quite a while. Although the final showdown was a bit over the top, it was tense and exciting. Overall the story was well written with a nice pace. Since this is the first in the series I would say the ending is HFN. There is no cliff hanger and the storyline is complete, with the men agreeing to take things one day at a time. This was my first book by Lissa Ford and I’ll be looking forward to the next installment.
