💥🎯MY REVIEW 🎯💥

Trusting A Stranger is a totally amazing romantic suspense by Melinda Di Lorenzo. I was pulled into Graham Calloway and Keira Niles story from the very first Chapter. I have not read anything by this author before but I am very glad I picked this one up! I really enjoyed the author’s ability to create twists and turns that keep my brain from figuring out the ending halfway through. This story keeps you reading with lots of action, keeping the story moving. The plot kept me guessing, and I like that in a suspense. The romance grew believably through out of the story. All the characters were fully developed and believable! Can’t wait to read another book by this author because I totally loved her writing style.

Really enjoyed reading it.
The only problem I had was that I would have loved to read about the relationship between Sam and the hero

Trusting A Stranger is a phenomenal romantic suspense by Melinda Di Lorenzo. Ms. Di Lorenzo has provided readers with a well-written book and populated it with a stellar cast of characters. Keira thinks Drew, her parents' neighbor, is a nice guy and is trying to work up a real interest in him. When he walks off and leaves his briefcase behind she decides to deliver it for his business meeting, and she ends up over a mountainside. Graham has been living a nightmare since his wife and stepson were killed and he went on the run. Now holed up in the mountains he is finally on his way to the man that killed them until he finds Keira in her wrecked car. Keira and Graham's story is start to finish drama, action, humor, sizzle and suspense. I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to my next book by Melinda Di Lorenzo. Trusting A Stranger is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Right from the start there is a push-pull between Graham and Keira. He is on his way to find the person who killed his wife and son when Keira has her car crash. Graham is then torn between helping her and continuing with his quest. But there is no way he can let her die and thus begins their dilemma of how much to trust each other. Loved how Keira didn't give up on trying to rescue herself and how the trust and sexual chemistry between them built up in the storyline. So much suspense while trying to figure out who was the bad guy and who was the good guy.

Trusting A Stranger by Melinda Di Lorenzo is a wonderful suspenseful romance tale. Inside, a man lost his wife and child. He is being labeled as their killer and being hunted down as the only suspect. He lies low only to run into a woman who interests him in a way he hasn't felt in years. This woman also brings a bit of the big mystery puzzle together. It is amazing how everything tied up together. The ending was intense and emotional. As for the rest of the book it is action-packed, thrilling, and keeps one guessing. Romance, crime, and suspense all in one fabulous read!

Good story. I think you should follow your gut feeling. Calloway's "friend" almost got Kaira. Th guy she thought she may date turned out to be a killer. So much anger and greed on the bad guys' side. Calloway cares about others.

I really enjoyed this story. The book was intriguing, with good suspense, and romance. The story had twist, and turns, that kept me wondering who the villain really was.

Graham Calloway came home to find that his wife, and son had been murdered. He was a doctor. He tried to revive them, but he couldn't, it was too late. He was being set up for the double murder. Graham wanted to find the killer. He left with intent on tracking down the person responsible for killing his family. 4 years later he was still living in the remote cabin in the mountains. He finally has a lead. While he is hiking out of the mountains, he hears a crash. He runs to the car to find Keira Niles unconscious. His doctor instincts kicked in, and before he knew what he was doing, he was saving her life, and giving first-aid.

Keira on a crazy, impulsive whelm decided to follow Drew Bryant into the mountains to give him the brief case that he had forgotten. They had been friends for years, and she was wondering if today was going to be the day, the friendship became more. The closer she got to the mountains, the harder it snowed making it almost impossible to see. Keira was driving in a blizzard. She heard on the radio that the roads were closed, but there was no place to turn around. The only thing she could do, was keep going forward. There was hope, until a Moose stepped out in the road. When she swerved to miss it, she simply traded in one disaster for another. She closed her eyes as she sailed over the edge of the ravine.

She woke up to this mountain man giving her first-aid. Keira was never a weak heroine. Loved that about her. Even after a car crash, she still defended herself, until she realized Graham was just trying to help her, and save her life. I loved that she still called him her mountain man throughout the story.

Keira found out that Graham was wanted for murder. In her heart she knew he was innocent. It will take both of them working together to find the real killer. Keria ended up in the hands of the killer. Will Graham come, in time to save her?
