EVIDENCE OF INNOCENCE
She was wrongly accused...and now she's searching for the dangerous truth.
Finally exonerated after fifteen years in prison, Kinsley Garrett's determined to find her father's true killer -- even if it makes her a target. Staying alive means relying on police chief Marcus Bayne's protection, but she won't trust him...or anyone. Not after the way everyone turned on her following her arrest. But as Marcus risks everything to shield her, can Kinsley keep him from burrowing into her heart?
My Review:
This is such a unique story line and McCoy does it so well. The author explores the complexities of Kinsley's emotions with gut-wrenching detail. Her inability to trust...wariness of law enforcement...need to keep herself apart...all play out with stomach churning intensity. Kinsley was arrested in her teens, so imagine reaching adulthood while incarcerated! Knowing you are innocent and your father's murderer is still walking free! That's gotta mess with your psyche.
And Marcus is so patient with Kinsely. And kind. And supportive. Sometimes she can even forget that he's a police chief. Their's is a gentle romance that sparks in the midst of troubled times. You might say wariness is their love language. :-)
The suspense is emotionally gripping and well paced. I was on edge right from the start, waiting for all the bad stuff to start happening! And McCoy doesn't disappoint. Another must-read-it-all-in-one-sitting page-turner from a much loved author.

DeleteEVIDENCE OF INNOCENCE sounds like an amazing book. What a plot! The cover screams suspense and I'm ready for some nail biting danger while I pull for the gal to be vindicated and a little romance to sooth the romantic in me and a bit of chocolate by my side. Isn't that all we need for a good night's read after all! :)
