Secrets Resurfaced

GIVEAWAY
MENTINK, DANA
SECRETS RESURFACED

Searching for the truth could get them killed...

When new evidence surfaces about a tragic boating accident that put her ex-boyfriend's father in prison, private investigator Dory Winslow's determined to look into it. But now someone's dead set on silencing her. And working with Chad Jaggert -- the father of her secret child -- may be the only way to survive the treacherous truth about the tragedy that once tore them apart.

My Review:

Gah but I'm not a fan of the secret baby trope but when a fave author goes and writes one I can't resist. And you know what? Dana Mentink makes it work. I still don't like the decisions Dory made but I can understand them. There's real character growth as she comes to terms with their past and and how she handled things. Plus, five years ago was a gnarly mess complete with parental interference.

And, oh my goodness, what a heart-stopping reunion! Seconds in and Dory and Chad are sniping at each other while bullets fly and danger dogs their heels. Funny and traumatic rolled into one nail-biting scene! And the tension doesn't let up! It seems like they spend more time at the hospital than chasing down clues. lol Love the taut sense of urgency as the danger amps up. Phew, you might just need an oxygen tank on standby for this one!

I don't often listen to Love Inspired books but I couldn't resist trying Meghan Kelly's narration when audible recommended it as something I might like (how right they were!)  a Great author/narrator match that enhanced the storytelling enjoyment.

    I so agree about the secret baby/child, but what's a reader to do when one of her favorite author comes out with a new book? 😂😂

      Nope, this giveaway is for a paperback. I listen to audible books a lot but the giveaways are always print (and occasionally ebook when print isn't available.) So you're in! Good luck, Becky!

    WOW! Another cover that screams READ ME because it tells a story within itself.

    Love Dana's books so that in itself would have me putting this book on my TBR list.

    "SECRETS RESURFACED" sounds wonderful and I can't wait for the opportunity to read it. Oxygen supply on hand, fan on high and stash of chocolate ready since I gave up biting the nails.

    Thank you for the chance to win a copy!

      It is a great cover for a cowboy suspense, isn't it? Good luck, Kay!

    I've read a couple of Dana Mentink's books and enjoyed them. She does know how to write a suspenseful book.

    I'm so ready for another Roughwater story. I might not be the biggest fan of secret babies, either, but I do enjoy second chance romances. And Dana Mentink. ;-)
