[Lynda Warnock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Two on the Hunt by Heather Hiestand is a roller coaster ride of emotions. A stand alone sequel to One Juror Down, Ms. Hiestand supplies enough of a back story so that you don’t feel the least bit lost.

Georgia has had a hard life but she’s finally getting it back together. While staying on her brothers boat waiting for her condo to be ready her young daughter is kidnapped. Lucky for Georgia that there is a gorgeous hunky bounty hunter at the Marina as well – he’s working another case or so they think.

The attraction between Yun and Georgia is immediate even if they both try to ignore it and the romantic tension between the two is a nice part of this story. The trials that these two and Georgia’s family go through really tie you up in knots and I and so many twists it almost got confusing.

I enjoyed Two on the Hunt. It is a good tale of romantic suspense, heavy on the suspense part. But the sparks are definitely there between Georgia and Yun to give you a healthy dose of tension and just a bit of lovin’. I liked the secondary characters and how involved Georgia’s family stayed to help through thick and thin, and I really loved Yun’s mom. Two on the Hunt proves that you can go home again and that second chances though difficult to achieve are worth all the effort.
