Finding Abby: A Romantic Suspense set in the Colorado Mountains

by Rhonda Blackhurst

Abby Sinclair is fiercely independent, successful, and a single mom to nine-year-old Cooper. Five years ago her ex-husband, and ex-cop, Hunter, was sentenced to prison for beating her nearly to death. Now, Hunter is out of prison and ready for revenge.

When Abby’s dear, elderly friend is found dead, she inherits idyllic Whispering Pines Resort in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Moving provides the perfect answer to escape from Hunter. Abby, Cooper, and her father, Jeremiah Jordan, move and begin to build a new life. There she meets Gabriel Coleman, who works to convince her it’s safe to open her heart once again. But is it a risk she can afford to take?

When someone begins terrorizing her, Abby finds herself in a game of cat and mouse. As she struggles to discover who she can and cannot trust, singling people out one by one, she grows closer to Gabriel. Just when she thinks her world is safe, it’s knocked upside down as she’s faced with an unexpected nemesis intent on taking everything she has. Has she trusted all the wrong people? The battle has turned into a war and Abby is forced to learn a hard and fast lesson in trust and love.

Reviews

[Patricia Stoltey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this novel for the suspense and an intriguing subplot. Abby, the main character, is a nice person and a little too trusting and easy-going for her own good, but she figures it all out in the end. I look forward to reading another book by this author.

A great read! So many twists and turns! It kept me guessing the whole book. Can’t wait to read more by this author. I could not put this book down!

I was engrossed in the characters from page one. Abby wants to protect her son from his dangerous father by not telling him the truth, but this places both of them in even more peril after her ex-husband is released from prison. Not only does Abby make bad choices, so does her father, sister, and her best friend. She does make a good decision, though, when she relocates to Colorado. Blackhurst does a beautiful job describing this beautiful setting. I found this book the most suspenseful of Blackhurst's books - yes, I'm a fan. I've read the Melanie Hogan series and can't wait to read the rest in the Whispering Pines series, of which this is the first.
