Crimson River (The Edens) Kindle Edition
Lyla Eden has spent the last few years watching her siblings fall in love. Meanwhile, she’s married to her job. It’s on her hundredth consecutive workday that her sister stages an intervention, kicking Lyla out of her own coffee shop. With nothing else to do, Lyla sets out on her favorite hiking trail.
It’s there that she spots a man washing blood from his hands in a stream. One moment she’s staring at the jagged scar on his face. The next, his hand is around her throat. But by some miracle, he lets her go.
Shaken to her core, Lyla reports the incident to the local police. Two days later, Vance Sutter arrives in town, armed with endless questions and a tarnished badge.
Vance may be ruggedly handsome but he’s as mysterious as the man he’s hunting. And he’ll be gone from Quincy in a blink. Yet Lyla’s crush is impossible to stop.
No matter how hard Vance tries to ignore it, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. And avoiding Lyla is not an option. After years of chasing dead ends, she’s his only lead to closing the case that haunts his career. So together, they’ll retrace her steps.
To find the scarred man she met beside a crimson river.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025I have loved this entire series, I have read them as quickly as I possibly could because I could not put these books down!!
This was my favorite though because I really loved Lyla and Vance. Their story was full of shared trauma, so much chemistry, and heartbreaking loss and ultimately love. The Eden family is the kind of family everyone dreams of having and I really liked we get little updates on all the siblings throughout the series.
There is one more book in the series and while I am so excited to read it I will be sad to leave the Edens behind.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Llya and Vance come together over the worst circumstances and during one of Llyas worst weeks ever.
Llya finally takes a day off and decides to hike, but along the way she is strangled, but let go.
Vance instantly recognizes the case similarities and takes off to meet Llya and try to track the Monster he’s been tracking for years.
As a thriller and suspense girly, I ate this book up! There’s so much mystery in this book, we get to watch Vance and Llya fall in love along the way but this one focuses heavily on the suspense aspect and I love that. Sadly there not much I can say without ruining a good chunk of this book, so I’ll just say read it! If you love the suspense aspect you need to read this one. It was so good! I couldn’t put it down!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2023Devney Perry’s Crimson River is the fifth novel in the family saga romance series, The Edens. A breathtakingly intense and deeply emotional romance, I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Perry's masterful storytelling shines through in this captivating tale of secrets and intrigue and steamy romance. I was completely enthralled by the richly developed characters and the gripping mystery unfolding against the backdrop of a small Montana town.
Lyla Eden, the owner of the local Quincy coffee shop, is a hardworking, down-to-earth and driven woman focused on her business. Vance Sutter, an Idaho police officer, is on the hunt for a murderer, and the trail leads him to Quincy and Lyla. He’s spent the last four years hunting this fugitive, and he’s not looking for anything other than this man. Lyla is the last person to have encountered him, and Vance ends up in Quincy to continue the hunt. Perry expertly weaves together their stories, unraveling their secrets and exposing their vulnerabilities in a way that kept me utterly engrossed in the story. The chemistry between Lyla and Vance is electrifying, and their emotional journey was portrayed with depth and authenticity, evoking a range of emotions from heartache to hope.
Perry's evocative prose effortlessly transported me to the small town of Quincy, and she skillfully balanced the romance and mystery plot arcs, creating a perfect blend of passion and suspense. I was hanging on every word as the twists and turns of the plot unfolded, and their “for now” relationship slowly morphs into forever. Perry’s impeccable storytelling, complex characters, the steamy romance and an expertly crafted plot made this a completely unputdownable read. I am counting the days until the next book in this series! Five smooches from me for Crimson River by Devney Perry!

Vance Sutter has been on the search for a man that has taken hold over his career as a cop, every turn he takes he slips through. But a chance encounter by a river in Quincy, Montana could be the first real clue in years to end the nightmare that has haunted Vance.
Lyla Eden, with her blue eyes and her chocolate croissants proves to be more than just a lead to his case, and with each moment they spend together the harder it’ll be for them to both walk away.
Lyla and Vance quickly stole my heart! Their connection is so beautiful, the spice is top tier and don’t get me started on Vance’s nickname for Lyla! Swoon!

Lyla Eden is a beautifully written character. She’s vulnerable with such a big heart and kindness for everyone. She’s fierce and loyal. And despite her fears she pushes through to help Vance solve his case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this series!
This book starts with a bang! When Lyla Eden is attacked while out hiking, she is so shaken that she finds it hard getting back to everyday life. Then Vance Sutter arrives in town to try and find the man that attacked Lyla and she instantly trusts this insanely handsome man. But not everything is as it seems. Vance is closer to the case than anyone knows and there are a lot of secrets he's keeping close to his chest.
I really enjoyed the mystery aspect of this book. It reminded me of Indigo Ridge and added a new aspect to the series that kept it fresh. The "will they, won't they" of the romance worked well with the mystery too. The sparks flew immediately but they were both hesitant to go any further. The ending unfolded amazingly but left enough questions for the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars omg thank god lyla got the man she deserves
i abandoned eloise's book, hated her and jasper, strongly disliked foster, but i've been loving lyla ever since her first cameo, her and mateo (i'll get into how much i screamed when i found out his book would also be vera's in a second) were not my favourites only because griffin and knox are perfection; i think part of why i disliked book 3 and 4 so much was because the bar was set too high on books 1 and 2, since lyla's man was an outsider i expected him to be "flawed" and to have a hard past like foster and jasper, he did, a harder past, more reasons to be unapproachable and grumpy and rude, and he wasn't, never with lyla, he has the "perfection" the men in book 1 and 2 made me expect from the series, not dumping trauma onto women, having it, but not as an excuse to hurt them and then come back parading the "i am sorry i didn't see it sooner", they left and they were hurt, but it wasn't an excuse, it didn't feel like that was to be expected, i personally never connected or cared for thalia and eloise and i still don't, but i loves winslow, memphis and lyla so much that i needed for them to have these man they could trust and rely on (not on a creepy way like a shadow, wt* was that with jasper and eloise never being separated that man needs a job, and therapy and death but i'll keep that to my dreams)
i SCREAMED when i saw who the next couple was going to be, i loved vera since the start, felt hurt when lyla commented who got to hear her story would have the pieces of her heart cause i wasn't going to read it BUT I WILL I SO SO WILL; i read the tropes, read about matt having history in alaska, know vera will probably suffer a little bit but god i hope mateo is like his brothers and vance and not jasper and foster, she DESERVES a good man more than anyone else in this family, she simply does and i know mateo is good because he's never been anything but sunshine on the other books and vera already suffered too much omg i am so excited, and i want more lyla and vance, and griffin and winslow and memphis and knox
i know eloise is the youngest along with mateo but god i hope there isn't much of her in his book, i never rolled my eyes as much as i did on the first chapter of crimson river when i saw the book started with her and jasper, almost thought it was going to suck, thankfully she kept her annoying self to herself and didn't show up much after ( i t w a s p e a c e f u l )
ps: hopefully i am the kind of person that deserves a vance, not jasper/foster
- Brittany de SousaReviewed in Canada on June 18, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Layla and Vance are PERFECTION!
What an amazing continuation of the Edens series!
I love a good mystery and Crimson River definitely delivers! Both Layla and Vance are so wrapped up in solving the mystery - though they each have their own reasons.
I really enjoyed getting to know Layla - we don’t see her very often in the other books in the series. Vance is such an interesting character with a very rich backstory. Him and Layla are so perfect together!
The way their relationship develops throughout the book is so natural, and they just get each other in ways that no one else has. I loved seeing them get their happy ending!
If you love small town romances, definitely check out the Edens series! Each book is different, but absolutely amazing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfecte combi van Plot en Spice
Crimson River was echt goed! Devney Perry heeft me weer helemaal verslaafd gekregen, kon het boek niet neerleggen. Het plot zat strak in elkaar en vanaf het eerste hoofdstuk kon ik gewoon niet meer stoppen met lezen.
Wat ik echt top vond, was de spanning en het mysterie rond Lydia. Ze wordt aangevallen en vanaf dat moment MOEST ik gewoon weten wat er allemaal gaande was. De vibes zaten echt goed: het voelde spannend, intens en tegelijkertijd ook romantisch en spicy op de perfecte momenten.
Ik ben echt fan van de Edens-serie en dit deel is misschien wel mijn favoriet tot nu toe. Als je houdt van romantische boeken met een side of mystery en goeie spice? Dan moet je deze sowieso lezen. 🖤
