Abby Connelly takes her work at the Long Valley Jail seriously. She has no dreams of marriage, children, or white-picket fences. All she wants is to do her job and please the only family she has left, her father. But the moment rugged and wounded Wyatt Miller walks into her jail, Abby realizes her heart might just have a change of plans …

Arrested by Love is the third novel in the Long Valley world, although all books in the Long Valley world can be read as standalones. It has some strong language, and oh my, sexy times. If you would prefer the sweet version, it is also available on this storefront. Either way, enjoy!

Ratings and reviews

ARRESTED BY LOVE Erin Wright Wyatt was single his suppers came from the convenience store. Judge's son, that no one says no to, drunk and driving. Another fight, another jail and Wyatt is the one in it. The sheriff and deputy, are also father and daughter, He gives her the job, to keep an eye on Wyatt and away from him. Trouble was she had a crush on Wyatt, and daddy didn't know. Interesting story of love in a small town, and the reason behind Wyatts action to fight. Good reading once again by Erin. Given Arc for my voluntary review and my honest opinion,

Wyatt is a hurting man, and like any dangerous animal, he settles differences with his fists and asks questions later. In a small town run by authoritarians who have no liking for him, Wyatt is an outcast and unpopular. It took me time to warm up to him as a hero, but as he is brought to a place where he has nothing else to do other than think about how he reached that state of affairs, he starts to acknowledge that perhaps there are other ways to deal with conflict. Abby is the police officer who is assigned to keep watch over him whilst incarcerated, and although she is cautious, she is also fair. Unlike her father who cannot view the matter other than in a negative light. Abby becomes a light in Wyatt's life and as one day rolls into the next, they find that they have more in common than they first believed possible. Set against the backdrop of a small town where it is impossible to keep secrets, Wyatt and Abby's relationship has very little hope of succeeding. However, when destructive forces go too far in trying make Wyatt look bad, the situation finally begins to turn around. I enjoyed the interaction between Wyatt and Abby and how her kindness towards him is a healing balm to his broken soul, bringing change in its wake. As a non-American I really hope that this book does not depict small communities in the US, that are governed by bigoted men who because they have been elected into office, feel they have the right to ride rough shod over lesser mortals. It would be a really sad state of affairs. Arrested by Love is a well written story with good flow of language and very few typos. It forms part of a series and characters in previous books appear in this one as well, nevertheless the book can be read as a standalone. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Highly entertaining, sweetly sexy, engagingly charming and emotionally thrilling romantic adventure for one lonely farmer and equally lonely deputy both with interesting pasts that intertwine. Wyatt Miller is the oldest, broody, distant and uses his fists to teach what he feels are needed lessons. He is so angry at life that romance is the not even on his radar. (except that he misses having a family, and longs for a wife and child) Abby Connelly is the sweet, sassy daughter of the local sheriff and only looking to do her job and do it well for her town and her community and the only family she has left her father. The sparks between these two are unexpected and so forbidden not just because they find each other on opposite sides of a jail cell. Loved every heart pounding twist and turn.
