GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY!

DALEY, MARGARET
HUNTED

A new romantic suspense series by USA Today Bestselling Author Margaret Daley.

Murder. On the Run. Second Chances.

Luke Michaels' relaxing camping trip ends when he witnesses a woman being thrown from a bridge. He dives into the river to save her, shocked to find her wrapped in chains. As a canine search and rescue volunteer, Luke has assisted many victims, but never a beauty whose defeated gaze ignites his primal urge to protect. When Megan Witherspoon's killers make it clear they won't stop, Luke fights to save her, but can he keep her alive long enough to find out who is after her?

My Review:

published in 2018

Once again I'm tandem swooning over a human hero and a canine one. Luke and Shep make a great team -- my increased heart rate testifies to that. Though the gripping, hold-your-breath-and-hope-for-the-best suspense may have something to do with those elevated rates as well. Phew! I might need a defibrillator! This is one exciting read from the get go. Daley doesn't waste any time plunging her characters (and readers) straight into danger. And it doesn't let up.

Though the whole story takes place over just a few days, the romance develops realistically with the sweet promise of what might happen once the criminals are brought to justice. And there's a super sweet epilogue to tie up any romantical loose ends.

Shep steals the show on more than one occasion, but he's also periodically upstaged by a defiant fluff ball called Lady (who is anything but.) You know a romance is made in heaven when both the hero and heroine have doggy companions. This made me one doggone happy reader. :-)

Both Luke and Megan rediscover the power and peace that comes from holding onto God's promises even during the toughest times. I appreciate the way that inspirational thread is deftly woven into the fabric of the story. Neither overpowering or understated. It fits perfectly with the characters and the situations they find themselves in.

And I am so thrilled that this indie published series is available in both paperback and audible along with the ebook format. That isn't always the case when it comes to independently published books. I listened to the audible version narrated by Kim Niemi and have the next three tagged in my wish list for future listening. The series -- Everyday Heroes -- is about just that -- regular guys doing extraordinary things. And they all have canine companions! Eep!!! You know I'll be reading them all!
