After Ellen Biers witnesses a theft turned homicide, the killer targets her. But her childhood crush, Mountie Leo Thrace, vows to protect her. Leo plans to keep his long-ago promise to Ellen’s brother—and his best friend—that he’d never date her. But with a killer determined to leave no loose end untied, keeping Ellen close might be the only way to save her.
"A lawman at her side..." but not just any lawman! A bonafide Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer!!! Another Officer Thrace...this time it's middle brother Leo -- and be still my heart, there's still one more brother to go! Woot! I'm loving this series.
So, Leo and Ellen have a history...the unrequited love kind. Only it really wasn't unrequited because they were both crushing on the other in high school but Ellen has an over protective brother who just happens to be Leo's best friend and that kinda put a damper on romance.
Fast forward to present day and Leo and Ellen are thrown together in a desperate bid to stay alive! They are hunted in the most unusual and alarming ways. This author has one scary, devious mind to think up this kind of stuff. Lots of gasp-out-loud, cringe-and-duck moments that contributed to my frenetic page-turning. And the whys and wherefores of the case are positively intriguing. And there's horseback riding, people! I mean, seriously, what more could you ask for in a romantic suspense?
My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Accidental Eyewitness. This is the second book in the Mountie Brotherhood Series. This is an awesome series; you really must get it. This story is well written, action packed, and full of faith. I know you are going to love it.
Ellen Biers cleans luxury cottages in the off season. She prepares the homes so that they are ready when the owners show up. She is cleaning a cottage when she witness a murder. She hides upstairs; when she is found she throws a bottle of bleach at the thief but he turns out to be her brother's best friend, a Mountie. A man she's known forever and had a serious crush on.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer Leo Thrace couldn't believe how beautiful Ellen had become. He had always had a thing for her but her brother, his best friend, had always made it very clear that she was off limits. Now he finds her as a target for a thieving ring. She has witnessed a murder and these men are out to tie up loose ends. That meant Ellen must die but Leo was determined to keep her safe. Can he do that without loosing his heart even more?
A dangerous journey of life and death. God has a plan for these two, a good plan and not for evil. God has a plan for you too. A plan for a hope and a future. Give Him your heart and watch Him turn your life around.
As the second book in Karl's Mountie Brotherhood series, this story follows the middle brother, RCMP officer Leo Thrace. Leo stumbles upon a crime scene and a shaken up witness who happens to be his childhood crush, Ellen. After a reporter leaks her identity, Ellen must run from a gang of thugs and Leo vows to keep her safe. Their long forgotten feelings for each other begin to resurface and complicate matters as the pair race through the wilderness of Northern British Colombia seeking safety and answers. This story is another fast paced read from Karl, full of suspense, humour, and sweet romance. I'm looking forward to the story of the third Thrace brother, due in time for Christmas!
This is the 2nd book I read by Michelle Karl. I liked the action in this story. I liked the Christian ✝️ theme in this story. I liked Leo's character. This book's storyline was okay. Ellen's attitude got on my nerves. I liked the ending.
Karl is back with an action packed adventure including all of the "Karl-isms" I referred to in my review for the first book of this series. I liked this book better than the first one though as all of the information overload of the Canadian wilderness and politics were taken care of in the first book. This allowed for less descriptions and more character development which I prefer overall.
I also found the characters were portrayed a lot more realistically and the plot had more depth in this latest book. Although the characters still have their "overly mature" moments of monologue, it was not over-done (i.e. self-help book style) in this book and I appreciated the insight into the characters as a result.
