Chief of Police Mitch Turner is finally close to getting the evidence he needs to prosecute crime boss, Christopher Rossington.

Shelby insists she wasn't targeted but Mitch has questions -- about the attack and now about her . . .

Dr. Shelby Grant appears to be living a fairytale life. She is doing meaningful work at her psychology practice and she's engaged to marry Mitch, the man of her dreams. But all is not as it appears. Nothing Mitch knows about her is the truth. She's been lying to him since the day they met and keeping a secret from him. She lives in fear he will find out what she is hiding. Her secret, if revealed, will destroy his love for her and will kill them both.

Pursued

This is a great standalone romantic suspense within a loosely connected series and is a KU library read. It kept me reading most of the night. The featured couple met six months earlier, after Dr. Shelby Grant moved home to the U.S. from France. Her new fiance, Chief of Police Mitchell Turner, is in the middle of an investigation into the operations of a local mob boss, Rossington. So when Shelby is attacked while leaving a free clinic where she volunteers, Mitchell's first thought is Rossington. But Shelby didn't see her attacker and the janitor who scared him away didn't get a good look at him. Then Mitchell sees Shelby somewhere she shouldn't have been, and secrets begin to come out. Secrets that will test the limits of their relationship. This book gets 4.5 stars.

I just loved this book! The couple is already engaged at the start of the story, but Shelby has a huge secret. The romance was believable from page 1 and I just adored Shelby and Mitch. Mitch was a great hero and really made the story for me. The suspense angle was great and really kept my interest.

Ner would suspect it

This book was very unexpected and yet you just couldn't put the book down. It was sad and loving and lots of action you just have to read the series.

I really liked this book, but it was more romance then suspense. The book is about Police Chief Mitch Turner who was introduced in "Snowbound" the 2nd book in this series. In this book he is trying to build a case against a mobster but hasn't had much luck. His fiancé is Shelby who has some big secrets she hasn't shared with Mitch. It's hard to say much more about what this book was about without giving too much away. The book really centered around Mitch and Shelby's relationship and the love, betrayal and forgiveness between the two of them. The author did a wonderful job of helping the reader really understand the struggles and decisions the two characters made. I loved that Mitch didn't just "write" Shelby off when he discovered her betrayal. He still loved her and although he was hurt he put that aside to keep her safe. I liked development of the relationship as they figured out whether they could still be a couple and how they felt about each other once the truth had been revealed. I would have liked a longer epilogue in this book. After all, it was a huge betrayal and there were quiet a few things still to wrap up in my mind.

Not to bad

This book wasn't too bad. It was suspenseful and somewhat romantic. It drew me in right away, but then flattened out.

Not one of my favorites but by far not the worst either.

Pursued is the story about Mitch and Shelby. From the first the book drew me in. I felt for Shelby and her love for her daughter was out there to see. The struggle she had with lying to Mitch and being caught. I found the chemistry between Mitch and Shelby good and the suspense very intriguing.
