The Stock Squad #4

This book is the last one in this awesome series and I have loved them all but the author has left the best to last Finn Wilde, we have met Finn in the last series set in Elsie Creek and I fell for him then but when the Stock Squad started my love for him grew even more and now wow this one, what can I say is the best.

A federal auditor has been sent to Elsie Creek to close down the stock squad, it appears that no matter how well this team, run by Finn Wilde has done, the amount of cases they have cracked, the amount of cattle and crocs they have saved someone is gunning for them and Finn is determined to do his best to keep them going but when he meets the auditor Taryn Hayes let’s just say she was not what he expected.

Taryn is good at her job and ex-crim Finn Wilde is not going to stop her no matter how hard he tries to ignore her but as she interviews his team and digs deeper into all they have done maybe there is more to him and this team than she has been led to believe and what’s more she needs to find out a few other things that are dear to her personally.

Soon they are working together and trust seems to be growing as well as the spark between them and what they uncover will shake a lot of people up, things heat up in many ways and the team are working hard to get the top guy, Taryn has uncovered so much and with Finn’s maps and plans they just may have cracked to case, but will they get their man?

I have to say I have tears in my eyes will writing this and while I was reading this one knowing that it is the last book in Elsie Creek I have read and loved them all, all the characters I have met and felt that are friends including Cecil and I am going to miss this place very much and I highly recommend to any reader who loves a story that will take you on a journey through thick and thin, ups and downs, sadness and joy then these are the books to read.

This one finished with a big bang and lots of joy and happiness, I loved Taryn and Finn the banter between them had me smiling so much throughout, thank you Mel A Rowe for the hours of reading pleasure you have given me and the trips to the Top End, they are a must read.

My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
