About the Book:
Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.
Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.
As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.
My Thoughts:
I have come to expect an action packed, suspenseful romance story with plot twists each time I read one of Ms. Goddard’s books and this book did that and more. The pacing was perfect and the mystery behind the newcomer, Grier, kept me guessing throughout the story. Who really was he? How did he play a part in what was happening?
Chief of Police Autumn Long is “beautiful, tough, and determined”. She needed to believe that God put her at Shadow Gap for a reason and that she was the exact person needed for their town to solve this case. Her perseverance led to an exciting and satisfying ending.
The secondary characters of Grandpa Ike and Birdy as well as Hank add an extra dimension to the story. I hope I get to see more of them in future books. If you enjoy books by authors Lynette Eason, Lisa Phillips, and Susan Sleeman, you are going to love this.
I received an advanced reader copy of the book. I was not expected to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
