Romantic Suspense
Date Published: 03-26-2021
Laurie Lancey has always loved the old picturesque bridge over Council Creek; it's that beauty which gave the town its name.
But then...
A near miss... A chinese fortune cookie with a deadly warning
A murdered co-worker
She knows now the serenity is just a deception. Something sinister is going on here,
And it's all around her.
Investigator Nick Allyn barely manages to save her when the shots are fired.
"This tells me only one thing, young lady," he tells her firmly.
"Those bullets were meant for you.
And only you."
My review: What if you’re sitting at a Chinese restaurant on a bad blind date when the place erupts with open fire? What if you were miraculously saved by the handsome stranger who kept his eye on you? And all because Laurie was warned by a fortune cookie just minutes before. Suddenly, she’s being protected by him against her will. But was it really so bad to have the handsome hottie around?
The question remains: who would be after Laurie and why?
Story has a nice and easy narrative, although lengthy and slow at times. It carries a mild suspense with a romantic flare and too many characters. Characters exchanged some good, witty commentary and a nice romance develops between them.
A pretty good read overall.
My rating: 3 stars
About the Author
It all started with my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. J. Ever the elegant, perfectly coiffured lady, gave us an assignment to write a short story and read it aloud to the class.
Mine was about a group of fifth grade kids who went on a weekend camping trip, and encountered a grizzly bear. When it was my turn, I read.
Poor Mrs. J! I began to notice a twitch around her left eye sometime around the approach of the grizzly bear. By the time the body parts began flying, it had increased to her mouth, and her whole face was as white as a sheet.
But she was a trooper, and stayed upright throughout the whole story.
However, the other kids loved the story, because it was about them. Suddenly, I was hooked! Over the years, my writing changed from gory stories (my term as a kid) to space stories. Then spy stories, and finally romance. But the other thing I found I really loved was mystery and romance. I wasn’t satisfied with just reading it. I wanted to write it!
