A thrilling suspense packaged together with a reunion romance, Present Danger promises to keep you up late at night.
Book Blurb
Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue mission. He’s committed to finding the killer, even if it means working alongside his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors.
When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a deadly turn–one that hits too close to home. As Terra fears she lacks the courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect her. But he’s failed her before. And if he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts.
Join bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth Goddard as she plunges you into a web of deceit made of hidden crimes, open threats, and long-buried family secrets in this gripping first book of an explosive new series.
My Thoughts
Goddard’s story hooked me from the beginning. The mystery is engaging, filled with plot twists. This author can definitely keep you on your toes.
Jack and Terra have almost palpable chemistry, which provides plenty of romantic tension. Goddard gives you plenty of glimpses into their past to give an idea of their romance and how they’ve grown. I loved seeing them work together and slowly begin to open up to one another. And I especially loved how the minor characters complicated the plot. Goddard throws in a lot of red herrings to keep you guessing. I didn’t see the final reveal coming, but once all the pieces came together, it made so much sense, I had to keep myself from smacking my forehead.
And for those who read her last series, you’ll find a nice cameo from one of the McKade brothers. I myself got a little giddy.
While Never Let Go is still my favorite Goddard book, Present Danger captured my attention and earned its place as one of the best romantic suspense novels I’ve read this year.
