What Detective Brady St. John really needs is a relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, just as the sun is setting on his second day at a friend's cabin on Lake Henley, he hears a scream and races to rescue a woman from her would-be killer. When the killer escapes only to return to finish the job, Brady vows to utilize all of his many resources to keep her safe--and catch those who would see her dead.
Financial crimes investigator Emily Chastain doesn't trust many people. And even though she let the detective who saved her life in on a few pertinent facts about why she was being attacked, there are some things you just don't share with a stranger. Little does she suspect that the secret she is keeping just might get them both killed.
Bestselling and award-winning author Lynette Eason sends readers on a race for the truth in this heart-stopping story of risk, regret, and redemption.
Book Review:
I'm normally a big fan of Lynette Eason, but this series is just kinda falling flat for me. The story line in this particular novel is okay (Although it seems like she thinks that she needs to have lots and lots going on or a plethora of bad guys...it's not simple at all, and I think overly complicated), but I struggled the whole book with the dialogue. I'm pretty sure I got an advanced eCopy so I'm hoping that editing will catch some of the weird sentences that just...weren't complete. But back to the dialogue, it was just awkward. It didn't flow, and it didn't make me want to stay in the story with Brady and Emily. Both are admirable characters, but I never really got caught up in the story because of the flow, pacing, or maybe just too much going on.
I normally love series about families, but this series family has just confused me from the beginning. The more I read the less clear I become. Instead of falling in love with the family I go, "Wait, what? Who? Should I know this story already?" And maybe that was a huge barrier for me. Brady kept bringing up his relationship with another girl. I'm guessing that it was covered in a previous novel (although I've read those and I can't remember it), but it isn't explained really in this novel. Even when it would fit really well in the story, it gets glossed over. But it's brought up, a lot.
It started out well, and grabbed me, but then is faded and I struggled to get through it. Which makes me kinda sad.
