Desperation Falls
A year after surviving a shocking attack, former Los Angeles cable TV carpenter Lena Blaylock buys some dilapidated fishing cabins on the shore of Storm Lake on California's Central Coast and fixes them up as rentals. It's the fulfillment of a dream, and a chance to build a new life free of her violent past. But she never intended sharing this unique setting with mysterious ex-lawman Alex Stone, or damaged teenage runaway Teal Kinshaw.
And she especially didn't plan on sharing Desperation Falls Camp with a dead body.
As the hot summer progresses, Teal becomes a vital part of Lena's life. And, after a few barbecues together under the stars, Stone rises several notches from irritating to intriguing.
But when Lena and Teal unwittingly expose information from Lena's past, it triggers a murder attempt on a friend in Los Angeles. Then a local girl at the lake disappears. Are they connected?
Teal's own past might be a critical key, but only if she reveals all her ugly secrets. She could lose her new boyfriend, and the by-the-book local sheriff will throw her back into foster care.
Lena and Stone must figure out the connections, because everyone she loves--everything she's built--is in danger.

All three in the series were great suspense! I want more!
The characters were real & the bad was balanced with the good. Some of my favorite reading so far & I average around 80 books a year! Good clean fiction!

Just finished all three books.
Great writing and the plot wasn't transparent line so many mysteries. I didn't want to stop reading! Will certainly read more by Bullock!

Breath Stealing Suspense
My breath caught at the start and I held it through the entire story!
As with his two previous books in this series, the main characters have a past, have suffered through a trauma no one imagines but that could happen, and find a support network of “family” through yet another traumatic and life altering set of events. What I love about Rich Bullock’s work is the element of faith he so deftly weaves through his character’s lives as they flee the dangers in their pasts and settle into new lives supported in God’s love.

Desperation Falls
This series has been great. The other two, you knew who the bad guy was, this one you are left guessing. I was three quarters of the way through before I figured it out. Great book. Only one cuss word, otherwise it was clean. Highly recommend.

Better than ever
This is my third time reading this series, and I have to say that's it's every bit as good if not better this time around. Anybody out there who hasn't tried these books, what are you waiting for? If you love tons of action, suspense, and romance, dig in 🙂
