Providence Island Book 5
Mystery Romance
Date Published: 02 November 2021
Publisher: RedBird Books
A man denies his emotions to save the lives of other. A woman closes her heart to hide the pain. A child yearns for someone to trust.
Former hitman Ben Hampshire gave up everything to keep his honorary mother Dana Canfield safe. Settled into a peaceful life on Providence Island, he’s found the woman of his dreams but can't make himself say "I love you".
Stacy Andrews shunned long-term relationships until she met a man with a brain as sexy as his body. She's head over stiletto heels in love with him, but those words aren't in her vocabulary either. The secret she’s hiding might make Ben change his mind about their life together. If that’s not enough, her troubled eight-year old nephew coming to live with them could be the tipping point.
Ben finds himself in the spotlight after two murders occur. The first to find both bodies, he’s holding back evidence that points toward Dana’s husband as the perpetrator. If he can't stop the killer, Ben's future may turn into a happy never after.
Review: Another murder in Providence Island. Ben was the one that found the body of a dear friend. It started off well with this murder, but then it deviated to Ben’s relationship dilemma with Stacy. Should they move in together? Do they love each other?
Story was well-written and overall engaging. Occasionally, however, there were some long narratives with too many characters in the mix. Perhaps if I’d read the previous books in the series, I would’ve been familiar with the various characters and it would’ve been easier to know who was who.
The most captivating part was Ben’s intent on finding a killer. The whole thing, in general, wasn’t entirely focused on the murder though. It was kind of slow and didn’t lend much excitement.
A fairly nice read overall.
