You Can Run From Your
Past
The dead always have a
story to tell. All he has to do is wait for the truth to be revealed to him.
The living trust him with their grief – and their dirty little secrets. Only
then is he able to ensure that the dead are given the happy ending they’d been
deprived of in life. Only then can he set about playing matchmaker, uniting the
dead with their true soul mates…for all eternity…
But It Will Catch Up
to You
Exhuming a body over a
contested will is the last thing former FBI profiler Greer Lomax wants to do.
Just the thought of it brings on the panic attacks she’s fought for two years.
Now, as deputy sheriff, Greer Lomax is going to have to face her darkest fears.
Because the body she’s exhumed isn’t alone. He’s joined by a young woman whose
name is on a missing person’s list.
With A Vengeance
The one person Greer
can call for help is FBI agent Ash Keller. Ash hasn’t forgotten the hot blonde
with the too-sexy smile – the one who spent many sizzling nights in his bed –
and he hasn’t forgiven her for leaving him behind when she quit the Bureau. But
he’s not about to let her go solo on this one, not after last time. Working the
case sparks the fiery attraction they’ve tried to deny for too long and unleashes
a passion they can’t control – one that could blind them to the most dangerous
mistakes of the past…
The overview is actually really good on this one. The only
thing it doesn’t mention is that Ash and Greer are married. She had a too close
call run in with a serial killer two years ago and hasn’t recovered. She’s
survived and existed but she hasn’t lived. Ash thought he was helping by
staying away but after finally seeing her he realizes that was a mistake. By
the end of the book she is ready to start living again.
I am tentatively saying this is a romance novel…it’s a Brava
book but in truth the romance is very minimal. This is a mystery novel. It’s
good but the romantic aspect of it is played so low that it made me question
whether it should count. There are two sex scenes but they are more or less
glossed over the same way that a random generic romance novel does.
The mystery is pretty good. It’s an almost perfect murder.
If it wasn’t for the exhumation of a body over a contested cause of death then
the guy would have gotten away with it. They had a count of 45 missing people
in 7 connecting counties but without digging up every body they could only nail
the guy on three and two counts of attempted murder. I normally would not say
jump into a mystery unless you really like them but I will suggest this one.
It’s written differently than a normal romance but it still has elements of it
that play well with the mystery.
Overall I think this is a good book to read. I don’t know
about owning it but definitely get it from the library and treat yourself to
something just a little bit different. In the end I’m rating this book 3 stars.
