High-Risk Homecoming

GIVEAWAY

STONE, ALISON
HIGH-RISK HOMECOMING

After being attacked in her own store, Ellie Winters no longer considers her hometown a safe haven. Nor can she believe the lawman helping her recover is Johnny Rock, her former childhood friend—and the boy who once threw her family into turmoil. Though she's secretly happy to see Johnny again, he's only back to stop a drug ring. Too bad the trail leads straight to Ellie's shop. Despite their rocky history, Johnny knows the pretty business owner can't possibly be guilty. Now, with Johnny as the only thing standing between Ellie and a killer, he will do anything to keep her safe…and prove he's worthy of Ellie trusting him with her heart.

My Review:

An interesting and topical subject brings a gripping air of realism to this romantic suspense. I found it made more of an impact since the drug ring is operating out of an idyllic small town.

Ellie and Johnny have a rocky history (pun intended) and I enjoyed their light romance. Ellie was a starry-eyed fourteen-year-old when she first met the older Johnny. It didn't take long for a school girl crush to take hold and, years later, there's still that teenybopper vibe to her early reactions to Johnny which made me smile.

But there's plenty of danger and mystery afoot and it takes both Johnny and Ellie's concerted efforts to get to the bottom of a lethal drug running operation. Plenty of action, a sweet romance, and a realistic ending fueled with hope made this a compelling read.

    Since I live in a small town, a drug ring operating out of a small town sounds scary! Love to read this book.

    I have to agree with rubynreba....I too live in a small town and while I know we have issues with drugs here, it would be a bit scary to have a major drug ring operating here! Small towns should be safe havens, wouldn't you think?
    This book sounds good and I like that you said there is a realistic ending, that always makes for a believable story. Can't go wrong with any of the LIS books! Thanks for the chance to win "High-risk Homecoming"

      I envy you small town people! This city girl would love living the small town life -- at least the kind I read about in fiction! Good luck, Trixi!

    I live in a small town, rural area. My neighbor has lived here almost 30 years and knows just about everything that goes on around town. The Love Inspired Suspense line is always a fascinating read.
