Double Danger

by Trilby Plants, Nancy Tucker

A woman terrified of firearms....
A man who carries a gun.... Alyssa Mallory crashes into Nick Trammel’s car and is plunged into a roller coaster adventure. Her home is ransacked. Two men shoot at her and Nick, and Alyssa’s friend is shot. Nick forces her to go with him into the wilderness of northern Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, running from the men who Nick says will kill both of them to get information they believe he has. But he doesn’t know what that information is. Alyssa and Nick find themselves in a desperate race against time to figure out why they are targets. Complicating matters is the emotional threat of falling for a man Alyssa knows is dangerous. She is faced with a terrible choice, one that could save her life, but might cost her the man she loves.

I was given a copy of this book and it turned out to be the perfect read while waiting the the rain to arrive. I love to curl up with a book that keeps me focused on the story and not on the gray skies but it would be a great beach read as well. This had all the components, intrigue, mystery, suspense and romance. True to life characters.

I was given an arc of Double Danger in exchange for a fair review.
Alyssa Mallory is a nice woman. She’s a school teacher who lives alone, has a cat and works part time in her deceased aunt’s antique shop. It’s a nice, empty, life. All that changes the second she crosses paths with Nick Trammel. She finds him irritating, if not handsome and smart.
Within hours of that chance meeting nearly everything in her life changes. She is forced to walk away, with nothing but her van and her cat. Nick Trammel is nothing that he seems, and he drags Alyssa into his world without warning. This book is a slow burn, a twisty mystery that ratchets up the tension between the characters as they race to unravel it. Written in multiple points of view, we feel both the characters resist this relationship, and face their fears; Nick’s of failing to protect anything he loves, and Alyssa’s that she will lose him to the flash of a gunshot. They work together to deal with the bad guys and solve the mystery.
Double Danger is filled to the brim with memorable characters, vivid action and romance. It is placed mostly in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and is filled with the wild beauty of that place. From beginning to end, it never fails to satisfy. If you’re a reader of Karen Rose, or Catherine Coulter, this book is for you.

Double Danger by Nancy Tucker and Trilby Plants is an edge of your seat story about a woman being in the wrong place at the wrong time and a man trying to get control of his life. The story takes place in my home state of Michigan which was awesome as I knew some of the places and roads making the story come to life even more. For those of you not in Michigan though, the authors describe everything you’d never know you had never been to the state.
With just enough suspense you have to turn the next page to see what happens next, and witty dialogue and characters the reader will have no problems getting into the story to find out how the mystery ends.

I really enjoyed reading Double danger over the holidays. I bought this book at horizon Bookstore in Traverse City before Christmas while one of the authors Nancy Tucker was hosting a signing. It was a great read from the beginning to the end. The story didn't have lulls between the romantic tension and the intrigue it flowed steadily all the way through. The two main characters were real and believable as was the dialogue. This is a fun read for a holiday or vacation especially for those who love to read Michigan authors. Thank you for writing Double Danger, Noranne Morin, Interlochen, Michigan.

Now I am passing it on to my next door neighbor, I hope he likes it as much as I did!

Intriguing. Fast paced. Just enough romance.

I love a good romance, but I don't want to get bogged down in it. This storyline was phenomenal. Though a little bit outside the realm of "government believability," it didn't really matter. There was intrigue, tension, relationships, and character development. I'll definitely be looking for another book by these authors soon!

**I received a complimentary copy of the book for an honest review.

Fast-paced, exciting romantic suspense novel. This was my first read by Plants and Tucker, and I can't wait to read another. Spy drama, romance, danger, all taking place in northern and mid-Michigan. As a lifelong Michigan resident, I enjoyed the story taking place amidst familiar locations. Absolutely well done, and looking forward to reading more from these authors.

I picked this up when I was actually in Escanaba and I'm glad I did. I never get to read about places I actually know, or see them in movies, and this book took me from Flint all the way to the U.P. It's a bit cheesy in places, a bit rocky, but it's a fun spy romp through Michigan and I enjoyed it for that.

I just finished reading this captivating book! The plot had multiple surprising twists…along with the development of a risky romantic bond. Love books that I can’t put down!
