Reviews: A love story in the beautiful backdrop of nature, the climax of the story is immersive, chock full of adrenaline, emotion, and suspense.
​
Lemor gives the reader more than just a romance, this book also has a suspenseful secondary plot happening that leaves the reader quickly turning the pages.
​
There is a richness and deepness to this story… the suspense is palatable, and I didn’t know until the last 20 pages who the bad guy was…. And trust me I tried to figure it out.
Excerpt: Kim smirked. “She thinks it was awfully cool how you scooped her up and carried her into the office. That might have been worth losing her breath.”
Rico made a face.
“Hey, it’s not every day a sixty-one-year-old grandma gets carried off by a good-looking ranger. A woman’s got to get her thrills somewhere.”
“Really? And where do you get yours?” His eyes popped as he realized what he’d said. “I didn’t mean … sorry, that was … just forget I said it.”
“I get plenty of thrills with the calls we go on. Especially if we get one for SAR. I don’t need anything extra.”
“Too bad.” Rico sighed. “I was starting a list in my head. I can get fairly imaginative if I want to.”
Kim pursed her lips. “A list, huh? If we put our heads together, I wonder what we could come up with.”
