The Next Accident by Lisa Gardner

Oregon, meet Virginia…  Long distance relationships start in the most uncanny ways. 

Trying to build a private investigator’s business after resigning from the police force, Rainie Connor moves across the country to find a home in Portland, Oregon.  Her business isn’t hopping and she won’t admit she’s lonely in her old hometown.

FBI Special Agent Pierce Quincy has a connection to Rainie, and it’s not the distance he’s thinking of between Portland and Virginia.  Quincy and Rainie had a previous relationship which ended in what I like to call “lack of communication.” 

Quincy won’t forget Rainie, and now he needs her help.  Quincy’s daughter died after injuries from a questionable car accident.  The accident ruled as a driver at fault, needs more investigation as a homicide is suspected. 

Here’s Quincy’s chance to approach Rainie, hire her, and find out if there are any sparks left to ignite the fire he still feels for her. 

There’s one catch, though.  The suspected murderer is after Quincy’s other daughter, ex-wife, and himself. 

Rainie can’t let Quincy fall to the complicated murder conspiracy.  Maybe, just maybe, they can overcome the distance in their hearts.

Happy reading,

Dawn

Gone by Lisa Gardner

A true masterpiece of suspense and a twist in the romance department.

Rainie Connor’s life is in peril in more ways than she first realized.  She has come to grips with the fact that her husband, Pierce Quincy, has left their house and marriage in a desperate attempt to help her overcome her alcoholism. Alone and fighting against herself, one rainy night in Oregon, she’s abducted.

When Quincy finds out his law enforcement wife, Rainie, is held for ransom vs. life, he could kick himself for leaving her to fight her demons on her own.  Quincy is a former FBI profiler, so he won’t let the police work without him.

The kidnapper, which comes as a surprise to everyone, throws a bunch of curve balls causing the law enforcement to channel their efforts in multiple directions.

Rainie swears if she comes out of this alive, she’ll do her best to quit drinking and will make sure Quincy is aware of her love for him.  Quincy swears that if Rainie comes out of this alive, he’ll do whatever he can to help her with her problem and never let her forget he loves her.

At least they both have the same goal. 

I found the story fast-paced and always switching gears.  It is one of those hard-to-put-down novels until the final page when your heart can quit racing along with the characters.

Alone by Lisa Gardner

 

Boston’s street thugs don’t stand a chance with Bobby Dodge against them.  Bobby is a State Trooper and a sharp shooter in his spare hours. 

The problem with Bobby is his job prevails over everything else.  Called to stake out a repeated domestic disturbance, Bobby finds his rifle killing the caller’s husband within fifteen minutes of arrival.  Those fifteen minutes changes his life and he needs to confront how it feels to kill.

Catherine Gagnon made the call and mouthed a “thank you” to Bobby for the kill, or maybe for saving her.  What’s the difference?

Beautiful and rich Catherine repeatedly needs Bobby’s help and advice, yet a powerful source wants her dead. 

And the Boston PD accuses her of setting up her husband’s death.

I couldn’t put the book down as Bobby fought the demons of ending a life and being attracted to a woman who might have planned to have her husband killed.  Catherine deals with the loss of her husband, while seducing Bobby, and can’t believe she’s not treated by law enforcement as a victim.

This is one of those novels you don’t want to end!

Happy reading,
