Review: Cabin 12 (Rock Point Series Book 2) by Freya Barker

Cabin 12 by Freya Barker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

FBI Agent and The Paramedic

This is the second book in a series of connected books. The plot stands alone, but the characters share history and this contributes to the story. You will enjoy this book more if you have already read the first book in the series. There is no cliffhanger.

TRIGGER WARNING: There are references to sexual assault and mental health issues. Neither are dwelled on intensely but they have affects on characters in this story.

Bella Gomez is the sister of Damien, the MMC in the first book in this series. She is a paramedic and moved to Durango a year ago after she was forced to quit her old job. Her ex worked with her and spent a big chunk of their years together cheating on her with colleagues and sexually harassing those who weren’t willing partners. Suffering from depression, her very large and meddling family didn’t really know how to help her, and being around them didn't help. Eventually, she moved to be near her brother, the family member who understood her the most.

When Bella first met FBI SA Jasper Greene she saw a pretty and charming man, who didn’t take relationships seriously. She dismisses him out of hand and their interactions are quite abrasive. Jasper really likes Bella but steers clear of her because her brother is his boss and Bella seems to be really against the idea of getting together. Jasper was abandoned at age 3 and spent his childhood in the foster system. He loves his job and when he tried a relationship in the past it didn’t work out too well, so now it’s short term flings or nothing.

Circumstances force them together when Damien is on his honeymoon, and they get to see each other more clearly and things become complicated. I really enjoyed the suspense aspect of this book. It was complex and interesting. It was less of a ‘whodunnit’ and more of ‘howtocatchhim’, all of which had Bella being pulled in because of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is a well-written book, with likeable characters that draw you into their world. The plot is intriguing and the romance is emotionally satisfying. There is passion, laughter and tears in this book and once again Freya Barker writes a thoroughly enjoyable story.
