Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copy Murder on Prescott Mountain.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

What a mesmerizing start to a new series!!! I haven't read a novel from this author is several years and I could kick myself. This is just a wonderfully told story of two different types of characters and how they overcome hardships and unimaginable obstacles to find their HEA.

Grayson Prescott is a very rich man. He is an ex-special force military man. His wife was murdered years ago while he was away on a tour. His infant daughter was not found at the site of the murder, Grayson doesn't know her fate.

Willow McCray, is a newly minted detective with the local police department. She is basically a "glorified runt". To help catch a serial rapist, Willow agrees to be one of the women sent around town to act as bait. Grayson see a man following a young woman into an alleyway. He feels something is off and follows. In the act of trying to save the woman, Grayson becomes injured and the assailant runs off. Willow believes the injured man is acting in tandem with the knife welding man and arrests him. Such an auspicious meeting between these two.

This book is written in a dual POV format. Getting that glimpse into the characters' thoughts, really help me to connect with them. I loved the plot and the seamless way the author carries the scenes throughout. It was an enchanting story that I would highly recommend.

Murder on Prescott Mountain is the first book in the Tennessee Cold Case Stories by Lena Diaz. A captivating romantic suspense that is full of mystery and unexpected twists and turns. I loved the mystery in this book, and the suspense was so great. The push and pull romance between the two main characters is undeniable, with a surprising ending that is sure to take your breath away.

Detective Willow is on a mission to find a serial killer before he kills anyone else when she accidently captures former solder Grayson Prescott. Grayson was only following the guy following Willow to protect her unknowingly stumbling across a sting operation accidently letting the real guy get away. Now they are working together with a team to hopefully capture the guy behind the killings.

I was pretty much hooked from the very beginning of this book. There was Willow working hard to prove herself and figure out who the killer and I loved watching her in action on the steps she was willing to take to find them. Then there was Grayson trying everything else he could to help all the while battling his growing feelings towards Willow but also the grief of loosing his wife and child. So theres plenty of mixed feeling going all around. I loved watching as they solved the case and it was just an overall enjoyable read highly recommend!

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the first book in A Tennessee Cold Case Story series. I really love this book so much, and the beginning was so great. The characters in this book was so great. I loved the mystery in this book, and the suspense was so great. I loved the push and pull romance between the two main characters. I also loved the ending of this book because it was packed with action and suspense. I could not put this book down, and I read this book in one setting. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Intrigue) or author (Lena Diaz) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

This book is about a very wealthy man who suffered a horrible loss. His wife was murdered and his infant daughter is missing, presumed dead, but the case was never solved. After years with still no answers or justice in sight he and a former detective team up and create a cold case investigation firm to prevent others from going through what he is going through. When it looks like his wife and daughter’s cold case is connected to a another cold case and also an active one they rush to get an I.D. before it is too late. Will they be able to get justice for those victims and stop the serial murderer and rapist before he kills another, read Murder on Prescott Mountain to find out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read the next one in the series. This book was full of suspense with just a dash of romance thrown in. Murder on Prescott Mountain is the first in a brand new series called Tennessee Cold Case Story series by Lena Diaz.

Murder on Prescott Mountain was the first of a new series and I can't wait to read the next one. While the book starts out slow, stick with it, because once it hits, you'll be turning pages long into the night to discover exactly who the River Road Rapist is.

Grayson is a man broken by life. His wife was murdered and his daughter was missing, and he'd gotten no answers for over seven years. Enter Willow, a police detective in Gatlinburg who doesn't like the whitewash he's getting from her colleagues. One thing leads to another and soon Willow is working for Grayson setting up a cold case team funded by his family's money. He will do anything to learn what happened to his family.

The twists and turns of this intrigue are many and often, but reading it is like you're walking with Willow and Grayson as they hunt the River Road Rapist and tie it to cold cases across the counties. The tension between them is palpable, but the romance is basically nonexistent until the end (For those looking for more romance than mystery, you won't get that in this Intrigue). With a cast of characters that can keep this series going for some time, I can't wait to see where Ms. Diaz takes us next.

Our heroine, Willow , is a detective and she has worked hard to get where she is. While out on a case acting as uncover to catch a serial rapist, she meets our Hero, Grayson, who is a former soldier and businessman. He has a tragic past in the form of unresolved case of his murdered wife & the disappearance of his 3 month old daughter and is frustrated with the local police for not getting anywhere.
He & Willow join forces to open their own cold case investigating agency and as they work together, sparks fly and danger comes calling.

For anyone who follows my reviews, my number one pet peeve in romances is for one or both of the main characters to have a prior love (especially a dead ex) and child with OP. That is the one quick way to lose my interest and unfortunately, had I known this in advance, perhaps, I wouldn’t have picked it up because as a whole, I liked the two main characters and their developing story, however, the fact that he was still grieving and had a child with the OW, made me feel as if heroine was his second choice.

Sorry, but the dead ex/widower trope doesn’t work for me for this reason, however, if it doesn’t bother you, then I think you will enjoy the suspense and romance between these two.

I was kindly provided an advanced copy by NetGalley/Publisher/Author for an honest review and I want to thank them for the opportunity.

There was a nice mix of murder, intrigue, and action. I enjoy cold case stories, and this one fit the bill! I enjoyed the ending and look forward to the next book in the series.

Wow! This book was so much better than I thought it was going to be! This book had suspense, murder, mystery, intrigue, action and great cold case detective work! The storyline was amazing! I really enjoyed reading this book! I highly recommend reading this one! Its well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
