Crosshairs is a novel full of twists and turns paired with a second chance romance.
Book Blurb
Investigative Services Branch (ISB) ranger Ainsley Beaumont arrives in her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a three-month-pregnant teenager. While she wishes the visit was under better circumstances, she never imagined that she would become the killer’s next target–nor that she’d have to work alongside an old flame.
After he almost killed a child, former FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn’t bring himself to fire a gun, which had deadly and unforeseen consequences for his best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc is working at Melrose Estate as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her. The only question is, will it be too little, too late?
Award-winning author Patricia Bradley continues her Natchez Trace Park Rangers series with a story about how good must prevail when evil just won’t quit.
My Thoughts
From the beginning, I was sucked in. Not only because of the action and suspense but also because of the characters.
I enjoyed watching Lincoln and Ainsley begin to work through the issues that ended their relationship years ago, as well as how they worked together on the case. And as the threads began to come together, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
Their spiritual arcs were well developed, and I loved seeing the discussions about God’s will and faith. I also liked that it touched on Lincoln’s troubles with making them sound trite.
I haven’t read the second book in the series, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying Crosshairs. Though now I have to go back and read Obsession. I have read the first book of the series, Standoff, and I enjoyed it much more, but Crosshairs is still a great read. I highly recommend it.
Overall, if you love second chance romances and gripping suspense, then Crosshairs is the book for you.
