TRUST ME
When Delaney Broward finds her best friend stabbed to death a decade after her brother suffered the same fate, she must confront her painful past in order to unmask a killer who isn't done yet.
How can this be happening again?
Delaney Broward has spent the last ten years rebuilding her life after finding her brother brutally stabbed to death in his art studio, leaving her without a single living family member. His death even took away her boyfriend, Hunter Nash, who was convicted of the murder. Convinced it's too dangerous to trust her heart to anyone again, Delaney lives alone. She pours herself into her frame shop in the historic art district in San Antonio. She doesn't have the husband and children she once dreamed of, but her heart is safe.
Until she walks into her best friend Ellie's shop and finds she has suffered the same fate. Once again Delaney's life is shattered by violence, tragedy, and loss.
Hunter Nash leaves prison a free man that same day. He's determined to prove his innocence, win Delaney back, and restore her faith in God.
Delaney's mission is to bring Ellie's murder to justice while protecting her heart. They forge an uneasy alliance, both certain the truth will win out. Both are willing to accept the outcome -- if they survive.
My Review:
Gobsmackingly good! I am really enjoying Kelly Irvin's venture into the suspense genre -- definitely nothing like her Amish stories (which I also love!) This is romantic suspense with 'thrillerish' hints which means I found Trust Me to be a frantic frenzy of a page-turner!
It's a little bit edgy and a whole lot of angsty. Hello -- reunion romance with a convicted murderer (who is innocent) and his ex who is certain he is guilty. Emotional turmoil meet spine-tingling suspense with a hint of creepy thrown in and a whole lot of intrigue.
A fast paced (cue the reader whiplash warning) and multi-layered plot makes this book impossible to put down. I know, I tried a time or two and then gave up and just immersed myself in Delaney and Hunter's incredible story.
I particularly appreciate the faith aspects that Irvin includes, illustrating how trauma and challenges can either pull us away from God or draw us towards Him. So well done in a believable and forthright manner and added even more depth to an already complex story.
In a word: unputdownable!

So do I! Good luck, Angie!
DeleteI love Irvin's Amish. In fact, she's written one of my top favorites. Sadly, I haven't read one of her suspense. Yet, this has one of my favorite set-ups - a wrongly incarcerated main character. I'm in.
