Escape Route

STOWE, TANYA

ESCAPE ROUTE

Exposing a gang's leader...is the only way out of danger.

While flying above the Texas border, helicopter pilot Tara Jean "TJ" Baskins witnesses a brutal murder. Now a deadly arms-smuggling gang wants her out of the way. To stay alive, TJ must work with border patrol officer Trace Leyton -- her old friend and the man who once betrayed her -- to catch the ringleader. But when the search leads to Trace's family, can TJ trust him to save her?

My Review:

Whoa -- some of the best chase scenes I've ever read...and they don't all involve cars! TJ pulls some amazing stunts and Stowe knows how to make them riveting. Love TJ's unorthodox (for a heroine) career as a helicopter pilot. She's stubborn and courageous -- foolhardy at times -- but her heart's in the right place. Except when it comes to dishing out forgiveness. The girl knows not only how to hold a grudge, but nurse it to fiery perfection. 

Meanwhile Trace is dealing with estranged family dynamics and as much as he would like TJ's forgiveness for the foibles of his youth, he's not holding his breath. Makes for some lovely romantical angst as these two are thrown together in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

An intense page-turner that was fun to read.

Vanished in the Mountains

GIVEAWAY

STOWE, TANYA

VANISHED IN THE MOUNTAINS

A search for missing women leads to a deadly pursuit.

When domestic violence counselor Dulcie Parker uncovers evidence of a human trafficking ring in the Four Corners area, she's determined to stop it or die trying. With corruption all around her and killers on her trail, Deputy Sheriff Austin Turner's the one person she can trust. But can they work together to expose the crime ring before she becomes the next victim?

My Review:

I don't what has me more rattled -- the rabid-over-the-shoulder-checking nail-biter of a plot or the fact that this is my first Tanya Stowe novel. Seriously, how did I miss her previous books? You can be sure I'll be back-tracking!

This is one intense suspense with a few interesting twists that bring a fresh perspective to this LIS. Like the Navajo nation setting. While neither of the main characters are Native American, Stowe has woven in details of the culture, history and geography which I found fascinating.

And I love that Dulcie isn't your typical kick-butting heroine (though I do love those ladies as well!) but I could relate to Dulcie's more timid nature and found her all the braver for battling past her fears in order to find the missing women. She might freeze up in terror on occasion but she is relentless in her pursuit of justice.

And then there's Austin. Disgruntled, overworked and not sure what to make of Dulcie's wild claims. You'll want to seat belt yourself in for this read 'cause there's tons of twists and turns and breath snatching moments. Along with some emotionally romantical ones as Austin and Dulcie learn to open up and trust each other. 

A page-turner from start to finish!
