Description:
Piper McKenna couldn't be more thrilled that her prodigal brother, Reef,
has returned to Yancey, Alaska, after five years. But her happiness is
short-lived when Reef appears at her house covered in blood. A fellow
snowboarder has been killed--but despite the evidence, Reef swears he's
innocent. And Piper believes him.
Deputy Landon Grainger loves
the McKennas like family, but he's also sworn to find the truth. Piper
is frustrated with his need for facts over faith, but he knows those
closest to you have the power to deceive you the most. With his sheriff
pushing for a quick conviction, some unexpected leads complicate the
investigation, and pursuing the truth may mean risking Landon's career.
With
Piper waging her own search, the two head deep into Canada's rugged
backcountry--and unexpected complications. Not only does their long
friendship seem to be turning into something more, but this dangerous
case is becoming deadlier with each step.
My Thoughts:
I always enjoy a romantic suspense. I enjoyed the suspense parts of this book and this Pettrey is definitely an author to watch. My frustration, though it's only slight, was with the over dramatized descriptions of the physical attraction between Piper and Landon. For me (and maybe I'm just too straight-laced), there was a little too much emphasis on the "cold showers" Landon needed, if you know what I mean. Other than that small sticking point, I found the book good overall and am enjoying the series. I was happy too, that the ending left me guessing.
