Ripple Effect

GIVEAWAY
BARRITT, CHRISTY
RIPPLE EFFECT

Doing the right thing was his hardest task yet.

Griff McIntyre never expected his ex-wife, Bethany, and two-year-old daughter, Ada, to show up on his doorstep. After someone tried to abduct Ada, Bethany is desperate to find safety. Now Griff's not letting either of them out of his sight.

Desperation is the tie that binds them

Bethany knows Griff is the only one who can protect them, despite the fact that he broke her heart. But she'll do anything to protect her daughter -- even if it means playing nicely with Griff. Maybe in the process she'll learn why he really left.

A shocking secret threatens everything

As danger ripples through their lives, Griff and Bethany must work together to uncover the truth about who's behind these acts. But an unseen enemy wants something from them...and will stop at nothing to get it. When disaster strikes, can Griff keep his family safe? Or will past mistakes bring the ultimate failure?

My Review:

This is me finally keeping current with a Lantern Beach series. I'm so proud of myself. (Yes, I know that there's one more book that released in March but it's not available on audible yet so I'm counting myself current.)

Phew! What a hair-raising opening scene. My heart was in my throat and I was so antsy because I knew something awful was about to happen and I wanted Bethany to pay more attention to her high alert spidey senses but...ack! Barritt delivers another action-packed, skirting-the-edge-of-danger romantic suspense.

While this is the third book in her Lantern Beach Blackout series, it can be read as a standalone, though there is an over-arcing suspense plot that carries through each book. The author does a great job of covering all the bases when it comes to what a reader needs to know (or remember.)

Tension abounds -- both in the suspense and the romance. Definitely a consume-in-one-gulp thrill of a read.

GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY:

Alas, this book isn't available on Book Depository (I listened to the audible version) so this giveaway is for an ebook copy.

    1. Thanks, Trixi. And, yes, that cover certainly sells the book all on its own. Good luck, Trixi!
