From the back cover:
Criminal psychologist Erin Larson's dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.
Nathan Campbell's father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin's help to solve the case. She's good at what she does. The only problem? She's his ex.
As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted--and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.
My review:
If you enjoy twists and turns, deadly secrets and a powerful romance, Deadly Target is a good choice. The first few paragraphs paint a lovely scene, with Erin kayaking with her friend, but not for long. She barely escapes the first incident when a voice from her voice beckons her home to Montana to help her mother. Nathan was the man she fell in love with and hoped to never see again, but Erin can’t refuse his request for help, an agreement that puts them both into grave danger.
Sparks fly between Erin and Nathan, adding heat to the story, and their faith in God comes through in their prayers. The supporting cast added to the mysteries, and the pace kept the pages turning.
I received a copy of Deadly Intent from the publisher and award it four stars.
