A grumpy, small-town sheriff loves his dispatcher with the heart of sunshine. And no one is ever going to find out, especially the man he loves. Then danger rolls into town. Will the sheriff step up and protect his love?

Sheriff JD Morgan loves his job as the sheriff of Collier’s Creek. It may be a small town, but he loves the place and its people. His roots run deep, and he can’t see himself living anywhere else.
He’s a little grumpy as he settles into middle-age, but that’s okay. He has two passions in life. One secret, one not. Everyone knows about his addiction to coffee, but no one knows he has a secret crush on his young dispatcher, Ben. JD fully intends to keep it that way. He’s too old for the kid.
Ben has two ambitions in life. The first is to become a deputy sheriff somewhere far from Collier’s Creek, and the second…that one’s proving more difficult. He makes it his mission to make his sheriff smile every morning as he hands him coffee. JD is his, make no mistake about it. The sheriff just doesn’t know it yet.
Then trouble rolls into town on the back of a Harley and JD discovers Ben has been hiding a secret past. A husband who wants Ben back and won’t take no for an answer.
JD is crushed. Ben is terrified.
Will they handle the unexpected husband problem together or will JD leave Ben to face danger alone?
Find out in the small-town romance, the Sheriff of Collier’s Creek.

Sheriff of Collier’s Creek is the third book in the multi-author series. Each book is stand-alone, but if you enjoy swoon-worthy romance set in a small town, then stay a while. You’ll fall in love with the men of Collier’s Creek.

A great entry in the series

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023

Every book I've read in this series has been a winner and this is one of the best. We have a significant age gap between JD and Ben, the conflict between a person who loves the place they live and one eager to move on (for some unexpected reasons), the grumpy/sunshine trope superbly handled, and lots of coffee references. What more could one want? Well, there's always the possessive, vengeful ex- to contend with which opens up the protector trope. Grabbed and held me from the first.

JD shouldn’t have a crush on a half his age dispatcher but he does. As Sheriff, he needs to be professional. Ben has hearts in his eyes for his sheriff but he can’t control how he’s felt since he was a teen. Finally they succumb to their urges. When Ben’s past comes back to threaten what he’s built at home, JD must decide if he’s going to fight for and protect Ben. These two are adorable together and Ben finally gets his grumpy Sheriff.

Sheriff’s Dilemma

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023

Sheriff JD Morgan is a Collier Creek native, he likes his job and the people of the town. He has one problem he is infatuated with his dispatcher, but his dispatcher is also crushing on him. Sheriff Morgan also is unaware his dispatcher is married to the President of a motorcycle gang. This is a story with plenty of drama, love and romance. Collier Creek is a small community with plenty of gossip and interesting characters a fun read.

Good, until the end happened

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book was fairly decent, right until the last couple of chapters frustrated the absolute heck out of me. I could mostly deal with how wishy-washy JD was, but the resolution to the mystery portion was very unsatisfying. (FYI, you aren't actually going somewhere willingly if you are being coerced/extorted.) Ben kicked off the end with a classic TSTL moment, and then just kinda canceled any character growth he'd had. JD ignored the actual law for Plot Reasons, and then just skated over the other conflict. It ruined the rest of the book for me, and I ended up rage-skimming the epilogue. Overall, 95% of this book was fine, but the other 5% was infuriating.

Ben came home for protection and to hide. JD is the sheriff and he remembers Ben from before he left . Working together does nothing to stop the heat in their looks they give each other . Ben’s past has came home to cause anxiety for him.

Sheriff and a dispatcher

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023

Colliers Creek sheriff JD works closely with dispatcher Ben who and is half his age. I enjoyed watching them grow closer and seeing the little things they did for each other to show they cared.

This is a sweet and fun small town, age gap story. It's an easy read with good flow, little angst and fun characters.

I've enjoyed this addition to the series.

Every town deserves a Sheriff like JD and dispatcher like Ben. Secrets always have a way of becoming public .. some in a big way! A very satisfying read! Don't miss it!

I liked the premise of this story, I just don't think it was executed at all. I really tried to find something to like about the story but it just fell flat.

good series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2023

This is another great addition to the multi author series, I really enjoyed this story and although there is a big age gap JD and Ben are so sweet and perfect together, I liked how the town helped against Jarrod and mostly supported JD and Ben, good read looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

An Okay Read

Reviewed in Australia on November 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

Sheriff Of The Creek was an okay to read, but with mixed thoughts included throughout the story for me.
Sheriff JD was 42 years and was secretly crushing on his dispatcher in his office, Ben. When it comes to his morning coffee's he becomes a klutz but he can tap a mean line dance.
Ben, 21 years, also was returning the feelings but JD wasn't picking up on the vibes.
A theme of hiding love and fighting emotions for those connected, in this case it's JD and Ben.
I kept waiting for when Ben would say something about his marriage and it wasn't until the halfway mark that trouble for Ben comes into town. A few scenes in this book had me having mixed thoughts with what was happening especially with both the main characters. This included cheating on a marrital status and secrets being kept from direct family and friends. Past abuses and volience are told. All ended well for an HEA story for the series.

Employee/boss big age gap with big secrets not for me

Reviewed in Canada on October 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

I enjoy grumpy/sunshine and don’t generally object to age gap. The hints in the previous books about the sheriff and Ben made me look forward to this book a lot. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.

Part of this is me: from a general notion in previous books that the sheriff is crushing on his dispatcher as an open town secret, in this book, it’s suddenly clarified as a 42-year-old boss crushing on a 21-year-old subordinate. I can handle the 21 year gap, but Ben’s really quite young. (I mean, his brain isn’t fully developed yet, lol.) It was hard for me to dismiss this power imbalance, especially when there was no early discussion of how they could address this (just claims they would resist that culminated in kissing in public spaces while claiming they were being careful and wanted to protect one another. It felt very juvenile. I would have been much more impressed with a genuine discussion, with JD coming up with his plan to address this much earlier and actually discussing it with Ben.)

For the second major issue I had, to be fully transparent, I was so sure I wanted Ben and JD’s story that I didn’t read the blurb for the book, which meant I was completely blindsided by the announcement 62% of the way through the book that one of the MCs is married (which we learn right after he’s slept with the other MC). (Infidelity is a hard no for me, and while I don’t believe that Ben owes anything to his abusive husband, I don’t like that JD was put in that position without his knowledge.) I don’t feel like it should be necessary to read the blurb to understand the book. I get this was meant to be a big shock for JD, but there were only the barest of hints with Ben that there was anything in his past up to this point (one sudden mention at 47% that he “might need to run again”, but otherwise, he doesn’t really seem to react to the unusual presence of bikers at all, despite having been present for a brief bar fight with them at 14% when he apparently recognised none of them.) Now at 62%, he’s got an abusive husband and he’s being described as always having been “fragile” and “vulnerable” underneath when this has never been even hinted at before. (Also, when he ran, he went back to his hometown, kept his name, and served his husband with divorce papers. Was it really that hard to find him?) With half of the book from Ben’s POV, I really felt like there should have been more hints leading up to this.

The cast was a bit odd. We have Ben, then the Sheriff who apparently every single day spills his coffee on himself somehow immediately and has to change and get a new drink, Gloria who is cool except that she blocks off the Sheriff’s spot *every day* by badly parking her car, then the harassing deputy who was fired, the flirty deputy who pushes coworkers against the wall as he tries to pressure them to go out with him but it’s okay because he’s a good deputy and he gets a talking to periodically, then the homophobic deputy who’s near to retirement and has been told as long as he shuts up he can stay (but he doesn’t shut up), the whole fleet of MC bikers that rolls in and out of the small town occasionally (not actually doing anything most of the time), the mother who won’t hear that her son’s husband is abusive, just gets excited about a son-in-law, the townsmember with a dog that routinely bites the sheriff in tender spots…. They sometimes felt more like caricatures than fleshed out characters.

This book was written in the present tense. Except for all the times that it wasn’t. There were sentences and sometimes whole paragraphs that were in past tense instead. This brought me out of the book constantly and made it hard for me to read.

I liked Gloria and Ben’s friendship, Ben’s silly courtship/support with daily coffee and cannolis, stargazing, and the town’s people’s wonderful moment of supporting their own. But for me, there weren’t enough moments of Ben and JD truly connecting, communicating, and spending time together versus trying to resist before giving in to lust or being upset or distant with the whole motorcycle club plot.

I received an ARC from GRR. This is my honest review.
