The Countdown: The last breath - a romantic crime suspense by Jupiter Rose

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Justice leads a quiet life, tending to horses on her family ranch. She cares about her father, bound to a wheelchair after a vicious attack, as a result of which, Justice lost her mother. It seems that a young woman has already had her share of grief. Alas, she cannot imagine that everything she thought she knew is about to turn into a horrible lie.

Justice feels confused when her father announces that he has offered to take on a released convict so that he can complete his community service on their ranch. She is a God-fearing woman, and she struggles with distrust towards someone who, she thinks, might be the same as the people who killed her mother and injured her father. Justice wants to show sympathy and tries to believe that redemption is possible for those who have made mistakes in their lives. Yet, it doesn’t come easily.
But, from the moment that Justice lays eyes on Raymond Storm when he climbs down his bike, all her preconceived prejudice turns upside down. The convict, whom she had imagined as a violent, rude, and indifferent criminal, might turn out to be a man of her dreams.

A second-chance romance? Love leading a sinner to redemption? Yes, it might seem familiar. But prepare for your jaw to hit the floor. Almost immediately after Storm arrives at the ranch, the events make a head-spinning turn. And keep speeding up, swirling along the way, until the very last page.

“The Countdown” by Jupiter Rose is fast-paced and suspenseful, offering a sinister outlook at the criminal circles that operate under perfect covers, often in plain sight of unsuspecting folk.
