OBSESSION
Natchez Trace Ranger and historian Emma Winters hoped never to see Sam Ryker again after she broke off her engagement to him. But when shots are fired at her at a historical landmark just off the Natchez Trace, she's forced to work alongside Sam as the Natchez Trace law enforcement district ranger in the ensuing investigation. To complicate matters, Emma has acquired a delusional secret admirer who is determined to have her as his own. Sam is merely an obstruction, one which must be removed.
Sam knows that he has failed Emma in the past and he doesn't intend to let her down again. Especially since her life is on the line. As the threads of the investigation cross and tangle with their own personal history, Sam and Emma have a chance to discover the truth, not only about the victim but about what went wrong in their relationship.
My Review:
Wowzers! I have a case of reader whiplash after racing through this nail-biting romantic suspense. So many complicated layers, both in plot and character, that writhe and twist into a heart-thundering tale of murder and mayhem with a scary stalker vibe. Cue the creepy music, grab some comfort chocolate and a teddy bear to hug because the stalker's POV is sinister.
And there's a reunion romance that starts out all snip and snark courtesy of Emma. That girl has some serious issues with her past and her fear default is anger. She can be defensive and prickly but, deep down she's as attracted to Sam as he is to her. And though he's been hurt by her rejection in the past, his unfaltering steadfastness keeps them both grounded as they try to outsmart an evil-minded villain. These two have a lot to sort out before they can even glimpse a happily ever after in their future.
Bradley provides some likely suspects and enough red herrings to keep an armchair sleuth on the edge of her seat right to the very end. And, mercy, what a heart-stopping conclusion!
Another incredible addition to Patricia Bradley's Natchez Trace Park Rangers series.

Nine inches of snow and counting here. They are forecasting up to 24 before the week is over. Very unusual for Arkansas! The fireplace and a good book are where I will be most of the week for sure.

I saw on the news that you and some other southern states are getting pelted by snow. Meanwhile we've had lower than normal snowfalls though we're getting some that storm you've had tonight and into tomorrow. Definitely prime reading weather! Good luck, Kay!
