I was not aware when I requested this from NetGalley that it would contain the dreaded dead-ex trope which is one that I avoid like the plague so my review is a little biased based n that fact because it always seem that heroine is 2nd best or the one he settles for.

Unfortunately nothing changed here because heroine is the little sister of his dead ex fiancée who died tragically 3 years prior and he is still mourning her. Additionally, I found the heroine immature and aggravating at times when she made stupid decisions but the suspense was interesting.

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and publisher for an honest review.

Book 12 of the Coltons of Owl Creek, Idaho did not disappoint! This is Malcolm Colton ‘s story. Malcolm is a Search and Rescue member along with his K-9 partner Pacer hunting a fugitive terrorizing his family. Three years ago his fiancé was killed in a boating accident and he comes face to face with her sister. As they work together to accept her death and also try to stay alive, there is plenty of action and suspense to keep the story moving!
