CROSSHAIRS
Investigative Services Branch (ISB) ranger Ainsley Beaumont arrives in her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a three-month-pregnant teenager. While she wishes the visit was under better circumstances, she never imagined that she would become the killer's next target -- nor that she'd have to work alongside an old flame.
After he almost killed a child, FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn't bring himself to fire a gun, which had deadly and unforeseen consequences for his best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc, is working at Melrose Estate as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her. The only question is, will it be too little, too late?
Award-winning author Patricia Bradley continues her Natchez Trace Park Rangers series with a story about how good must prevail when evil just won't quit.
My Review:
Another taut suspense with a blockbuster ending from a favourite suspense author. Honestly, my head was spinning from all the twists and turns. It seemed like when Ainsley and Linc were making headway something would throw a spanner in the works and they were flung off in another direction. Finding answers leads to more questions and I really enjoyed the investigative field work that builds the suspense. There's so much going on I was on the edge of my seat right to the very end.
And I loved this reunion romance. It's paced well amidst all the intrigue and danger. Both hero and heroine made mistakes in their past that they need to own up to but does that mean they can have a future together now? So complicated and emotional but written very realistically from both points of view. Solid faith threads bring added depth to these characters and enrich the story overall.
Crosshairs ticks all my romantic suspense boxes and then some! And I'm beyond thrill that the fourth book in the Natchez Park Ranger series comes out this summer! Each book can easily be read as a standalone by the way, but, oh....they are sooooo good you'll want to read them all!
I listened to the audible edition narrated by Rachel Dulude who manages to bring an air of urgency to every word she reads! Really added to my enjoyment of the story.
