RUGGED AND RELENTLESS was not as exciting as its title.
When four women head out to Hope Falls to regain their investments and set up a sawmill, they realize they need one more thing . . . husbands. So they post an add to kill two birds with one stone. Advertise for able-bodied men to help with the mill, and offer themselves as wives to the top three applicants.
Jake Granger heads to Hope Falls in search of his brother’s killer. His followed the man to Hope Falls and goes along with the ruse of looking for a wife. But, somewhere along the way, his interest in Miss Evelyn Thompson begins to pull at his heart more than avenging his brother’s death. Of course, knowing there is a murderer in their midst, he does all he can to keep the women of Hope Falls safe while he waits for the killer to expose his true identity.
Though the previous description sounds exciting, something was lacking in its presentation. There was really no drama to speak of, other than a bar fight here and there. The interaction between Jake and Evie was okay, but lacked the fire of a true, love/hate relationship. The other women in the mixed seemed to be just that– other woman, nothing amazing or outstanding. I was a little disappointed in its predictability and lack of action.
