Series:
Eagle Mountain Search and Rescue (Book 3)
They are running out of time…
Tick, tick…boom!
A serial bomber is terrorizing Eagle Mountain. And Deni
Traynor is terrified that her missing father is somehow involved. Search and
rescue volunteer Ryan Welch is drawn to the lovely teacher but wary of getting
involved because of his troubled past. Then Deni is almost killed in a bombing,
and they know it's time to work together -- and risk everything -- to stop a
killer. Before he strikes again.
Fantastic book with a sweet romance and intense suspense.
Deni and Ryan know each other slightly from running into each other at the
coffee shop several times a week. There are sparks between them, but Ryan is hesitant
to ask her out. Deni wants to know more about the guy who seems confident but
not brash. I loved the interactions between Deni and Ryan during the SAR
exercise at the beginning of the book. There was a hint of flirtiness as well
as some definite sparks. I loved how his protectiveness came out when she
reacted to the bomb scare at the bridge.
Deni worries about her father, Mike, who has been acting
strangely and has disappeared. She knows he is an environmental activist and is
afraid that he may be involved in the spate of bombings. She doesn't believe
that he would do anything that would hurt people, but there are questions. I
liked how Ryan stepped up to help her, even though his past mistakes told him
he should step back.
I liked seeing their relationship develop. Ryan is very
protective of Deni and can't resist supporting her in her search for her
father. I liked how his calmness kept her from panicking when things looked
especially bad. That calmness and support came in handy when she had to deal
with two ATF agents who seemed more interested in accusing her of being an
accomplice than finding the real culprit. The more time Deni and Ryan spent
together, the closer they got and the stronger their attraction and feelings
became. As some of her father's past was revealed, Ryan worried about Deni's
reaction to his own mistakes. I loved her response when he finally confessed, showing
how well she understood him. I loved the ending and seeing their plans for the
future.
The suspense of the story was fantastic. From the first
bomb sighting to the final confrontation, I was glued to the pages. I ached for
Deni and how so many details added to her fear for her father. I liked how Deni
tried to help as the severity of the bombings intensified and ached for how she
was looked at with suspicion despite it. Unwilling to sit back and leave it to
law enforcement to find her dad, she and Ryan kept up their searches. An
unexpected twist at the end provided the answers they needed but put them in
extreme danger. The final confrontation was a nail-biter that had me on the
edge of my seat until it was all over.
