Secret Mountain Hideout

GIVEAWAY

REED, TERRI
SECRET MOUNTAIN HIDEOUT

Staying hidden has kept her alive...but now she's been found.

A remote Colorado mountain town and a fake identity have have been Ashley Willis's safe haven since fleeing after she witnessed a murder -- but now the killer has found her trail. Desperate and terrified, she's prepared to run again...but Deputy Sheriff Chase Frederick won't let her. With the lawman by her side, can she face danger head-on...and live long enough to bring a murderer to justice?

My Review:

Happy sigh -- Chase is the kind of guy who likes the company of books because "A book doesn't judge or betray you." (p 69) I mean, really, what more can you ask of a hero? And the library provided a haven for Ashley during her rough childhood. So we have two book nerds who found solace in the pages of a story living out their real-life happily ever after. Mind you, the diabolical author has them jumping through alarming plot twists full of hair-raising danger before it's all smiles and kisses at the end. Tense and treacherous and menacing -- with some nice breathing spaces so Chase and Ashley can bond. Lots of rabid page-turning goodness within these pages!

While not marked as a series, there is a tie in with Terri Reed's Buried Mountain Secret.s (March 2019) It was great to see Maya and Alex again and I love the mounted patrol aspect of the police work. The author says she hopes "to write more books set in Bristle Township, featuring the men and the women of the Sheriff's Department." (Dear Reader letter from the author at the end of the book.) Please, please, please, Ms. Reed, make it so because I need more Katilyn and Nick sizzle and spark! As well as individual stories for the rest of the gang. Pretty please. :-)
