I didn't quite like this book. It took forever for the pace to catch up and for the story to move along at a great speed. I almost did not finish because of this.
An enjoyable murder mystery however the sex scenes caught me off guard and putt me off. It's just not for me but I do realise there is a lot of other people who won't mind it
I love when a new-to-me author can capture my attention quickly with their writing. Willow Sanders set the stage for the face-off to come between the feds and the cartel. I expected a lot more suspense to be involved, but maybe that will follow in the next book.
Cammie Saint is just a regular girl working at a job full of perks and living an ordinary life. After moving from place to place as a little girl, she's finally putting down roots. She doesn't have many friends and she has no family. So why was she attacked?
Agent Benjamin Vaughn has been hunting down Jefe for seven years. Radio chatter leads him to Kansas City and moving in right next door to a recent vicious assault victim. There's just something about Cammie that spoke to him, making him act out of character, wanting to protect her and ravish her at the same time. What does Cammie have to do with his case?
The writing wasn't as fluid as I would have liked, but it was easy to be entertained by this story. I found myself putting the clues together myself, wondering when everyone else would catch on. With the way everything unfolded and with the shock at the end, I'm looking forward to how this story will conclude in Found.
This was a great story. Loved the chemistry with the two main characters, and loved how the heroine was a strong female. The chemistry between Camille and DEA Agent Vaughn was so great to read. This book has everything I love in a romance story, plus more. It does end on a cliffy, so it totally left me hanging and wanting/needing more!
I feel like there is a weird sub genre of mystery books that mixes in a sexual nature. I find myself reading or listening to them all the time, and feeling a bit awkward. Nothing like reading a quick sex romp on your lunch break.
This was a fairly quick read, that appears to be the start of a series. Other than the random sex scenes, I enjoyed this story, and found myself thinking of different story lines or twists.
I would definitely read the next in the series!
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I would like to thank Netgalley and CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform for this partnership.
We find Cammie there who until now has only lived by bad luck, his apartment where we broke into, being attacked in his parking lot. She will have to deal with a Colombian drug network that will make her relive some moments of her past.
I found Cammie's character very endearing, disturbing and the script very captivating, moving and full of suspense and twists and turns.
I did not finish this book, It seemed to start off strong but once the male character was introduced it seemed disconnected almost as if it was written by two different people.
I loved this novel so much that I bought the next book in the series Found. The first few chapters...I wasn't sure if I would even like this book let alone love it. It does have a bit of a slow start. A few things could be slightly more condensed but I understand why Sanders included the build up of so many of the character even a few that could have been omitted such as Janet and Peter. I was constantly trying to fit the puzzle together between Ben and Camille since the chapters would switch between their point of view which was incredibly beneficial once their arcs crossed over. Ok...now for the overview of the novel and the characters which I completely love even if the novel does end on a cliffhanger. If you are one of those people who despise cliffhangers either buy Found or skip this book. Although, I recommend buying Found, both novels are well worth the money.
Camille works in the communications division of the Kansas City Chiefs football team. She works long hours especially during the football season, but Camille or Cammie is a bit of a loner. She was raised to not depend on other or to make new friends. She was taught those things because her mother was always moving them around the country. Cammie never thought much about any of these traits until after two very different attacks against her. The first was when her apartment was robbed and two months later, when she was attacked and nearly kidnapped. This is how she met the local Kansas City Police officer Peter Parker who she nicknamed Spiderman and her home health nurse Janet. The attack left Cammie with numerous health issues since she was hit at the back of her brain stem.
Agent Benjamin Vaughn has been chasing down the Jefe Cartel for the last six years of his career in the DEA. He has already taken down the Mercado cartel a direct competitor for Jefe. Vaughn has already lost his best friend to the cartel--he won't lose anything else. After he tracks down and puts Jefe behind bars--he's done. A nice quiet ranch in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. Ben didn't expect to be sent to Kansas City. Why in the world would the Jefe cartel be there? It is land locked most cartels are along large port cities. He goes where the leads and the DEA sends him. He is working with the KCPD, CIA, FBI, and Homeland to capture Jefe. Vaughn is missing a piece to the puzzle. Why does his beautiful neighbor fall into the pattern of criminal activity within the Jefe organization. What does Jefe want from Cammie? More importantly, why can't Ben stay away from her?
I enjoyed this read overall. The mystery behind the attacks on Cammie were interesting and I'm interested in finding out what her connection to the mob boss is (the story ends on a cliffhanger). I liked the romance between Vaughn and Cammie as well. They had good chemistry. What I didn't like was the terrible editing. I know that ARCs usually go through the editing process again after readers get a first peek, but this book has already been published. I was shocked by how many glaring errors there were ( you're=you are, your=possessive, a sentence should end in a period or some such punctuation, etc.). I got annoyed at how many errors there were. Despite the bad grammar, the story itself is good and is one I'd recommend.
Willow Sanders warns readers from the beginning this is a romance. I will always find you is mostly a romance with just enough mystery to keep readers from getting bored.
There is a lot of inner dialogue and sometimes it felt as if I was reading the same lines more than once. The story moves very slowly at first but soon picks up quickly to the point readers will not want it to end. It ends with a cliffhanger that will have readers needing more.
I found myself skipping pages once the romance started to heat up because it became sex scenes and the story stopped moving.
The characters are likable, easy to connect with and realist. The author is able to paint a picture readers will feel as if the are living in Cammie's front room. The author was able use texting messages and incorporate them into the story line.
The mystery is pretty easy to figure out when you read between the lines but the author has this reader excited for the next book in this series.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Author for a chance to review Willow Sander I will Always Find You.
