Loved it! I totally related to Tessa Jane, both as a writer and an introvert. Hero Silas was everything I love it a hero. I actually could feel the bad guy's motivation, too. Well, one of them. Lots of bad guys in this one.

Anxious to read the third book in the Clementine Sisters trilogy.

TJ Clementine has been getting increasingly threatening letters from somebody signing as True Fan, and decides to get out of the city after the latest threat, and return to her hometown of Whitehorse in Montana, where she can spend Christmas with her estranged sisters. Unfortunately, it looks as if True Fan as followed her home...or might have been there all along, waiting for her.

Normally, I love a good stalker story, especially involving mad, overly devoted fans. So it was very disappointing that one of Intrigue's better authors would deliver such a flat, uninteresting offering in the subgenre. One big no-no for me when reading romantic suspense is an author flirting with the idea of the hero as a red herring as the possible culprit. It just simply doesn't work. By the very nature of the genre, particularly category romance, that's just never going to happen. Never. So it wastes time when it could be beefing up the romance instead. Indeed, TJ and Silas Walker barely even cross paths until 70 pages in, when TJ (in one of her many TSTL moments) ventures to his isolated cabin during a snowstorm. He's tackling her with a hand over her mouth, she's kicking and screaming in pain and terror (the book's words), and just....no.

As they're stuck in Silas' cabin to wait for the snowstorm to pass, Daniels continues with TJ believing that he's True Fan. I never once believed for a second that Silas was True Fan, because otherwise this would have to be published by a company other than bloody Mills & Boon. Daniels should have a little more faith in her readers than try to foist off this sort of weak red herring on them. And I realise I'm sounding a bit like the True Fan character! Lol.

But, as such, I never bought into their romance. Once TJ has randomly decided Silas isn't a maniac who wants to kill her, it's all He's-Not-The-Killer-He's-My-Lovah, and she's pretty much desperately in Instalove with him. It didn't work. So, when the romance in romantic suspense is a bust, I turn to the plotting, story and suspense. Unfortunately, none of that could really make up for the lackluster romance. There are some further thin red herrings that TJ follows up in her usual TSTL manner.

Basically, for somebody who has a stalker threatening her life, TJ likes to go to an awful lot of places by herself, or go with characters she suspects of badness to various isolated locations.

Then, about 100 pages in, Daniels suddenly decides to thrown in a subplot involving former police department colleagues of Silas sending a hitman after him for exposing their dirty activities. Why was this included? It seems to be for little other than for TJ to make yet another TSTL decision, and head off to save him without telling her sisters where she is going. She really did my head in. But this subplot only emphasises how thin and dull the stalker storyline is. It took me nearly a week to read this slapdash effort.

Daniels thankfully doesn't include the viewpoints of 100 other supporting characters, like she usually does, keeping the focus on TJ and Silas' viewpoints only. So, once again, it's frustrating and disappointing that TJ and Silas' connection was based purely on Instalove, with little tension or conflict to carry it.

Very good book, and a "two-fer" when it came to the suspense. TJ is a bestselling author of suspense novels. For the last six months, she has received multiple letters from someone calling themselves her "true fan." They started innocuously but have become increasingly threatening, so she hopes to escape the stress by joining her sisters for the holidays in Whitehorse. Just as she's leaving for her flight, she feels something shove her off the curb into the path of an oncoming truck. She's only saved when she's grabbed by a passing man, who disappeared without saying anything. Did he save her, or had he pushed her first then changed his mind?

I could feel TJ's fear and paranoia from the beginning, and her relief at leaving New York was clear. That fear intensified when she spotted the same man in Whitehorse. Is this True Fan, and had he followed her from New York? To make matters worse, she receives another threatening letter that had been mailed from Whitehorse itself. When she sees him at the local drugstore, she panics, but when he shows up at her book signing the next day, she's left with questions.

Silas is a former cop who now works as a PI. He'd been following a man when he rescued TJ from her fall, not recognizing her as his favorite author until after he saw her go by in a cab. He suspected that she was headed home for the holidays and wondered if he'd run into her there.

I enjoyed the development of the relationship between TJ and Silas. It started out pretty rough, with TJ afraid that he was True Fan. I loved their encounter at the book signing. TJ is wary and suspicious, sensing an edge and hint of danger in him. Silas was actually pretty sweet. For such a big, tough looking guy he was also sensitive to the way she seemed nervous around him. I loved how he told her how her books influenced him to come to Montana. TJ left the signing feeling very confused about him, a feeling that continued into the next day. I loved the part in the cabin when TJ was snowed in with Silas. Her initial fear was understandable, and I loved Silas's patience and sensitivity as he waited for her to get past it. I liked the protectiveness he felt toward her as she told him about the letters and his determination to help her find out who it was. TJ also sensed that there was something going on with Silas and had her own feelings of protectiveness for him. With everything that happened, their feelings got a boost in intensity thanks to the danger. The ending was sweet and romantic.

The suspense of the book had me riveted from the very beginning. The main thread was the threats that TJ received. The escalation of those threats was scary as TJ had no idea where the danger was coming from. Once Silas convinced her that he wasn't True Fan, they were able to put their heads together to figure it out. There was a surprise connection between Silas and their quarry, leading them to several suspects. Of the ones they talked to first, any of them were possibilities, though each was different. The final confrontation was intense, all the more so because TJ hadn't seen it coming. I loved how TJ kept her head, and how Silas believed his instincts when he thought she was in trouble. The resolution had me glued to the pages until it was all over.

There was a second bit of suspense going on at the same time. Silas was a former cop who was responsible for bringing down some dirty cops. He's spent some time looking over his shoulder, expecting retaliation. While helping TJ, Silas received word that those same dirty cops had put out a hit on him. The warning came just in time, giving Silas little chance to prepare to defend himself. The man who came after him was truly frightening in his intensity. I loved how TJ followed her instincts when she felt that Silas was in trouble. She also had help from a very unexpected source. That confrontation was heart-poundingly intense, keeping me on the edge of my seat until it was all over.

I enjoyed seeing the three sisters spending more time together and mending their relationships. Their support of TJ was immediate when they found out what was going on. It was interesting to see the difference between Annabelle and Chloe's attitudes. Annabelle seemed to tend more to the trusting side, while Chloe was much more skeptical. I liked seeing more of Chloe and learning a little bit of her backstory. Her book is up next, and I can't wait to read it.

TJ is getting threatening letters in New York from “True Fan” so she decides to go to Whitehorse to spend Christmas with her sisters....the letters follow her. She also is saved by a man in New York whom she also sees in Whitehorse, so she is thinking he is True Fan And is following her, but she finds out differently. Just when I thought I had figured out who True Fan was, I was again surprised by BJ. I really enjoyed the first two books of the Clementine sisters.

I received this book for free in exchange of an honest review.

Great fleshed out characters, a great plot and ever beautiful Montana – what more could we ask for?
This is the second of the Clementine Sisters book, but is a definite stand-alone at the same time. The first chapter pulled me in and I never broke free! A crazy fan, a handsome man that saves TJ Clementine from being run over, beautiful Montana, mystery, intrigue and red herrings – this book has it all! B.J. Daniels weaves it all together into something wondrous. I couldn’t put it down once I started.
I highly recommend this new series from Daniels - you won't be sorry.

This series just keeps getting better! TJ is a bestselling author but has a crazed fan who is haunting her! She leaves New York City for the holidays to get away from the suspense of this crazy fan and to be back with her sisters in her hometown in Montana but the letters from this fan follow her and she doesn't feel safe. She meets Silas at a book signing and at first thinks he might be the deranged fan but finds out he isn't. Together, they both have people hunting them and will they both survive? Read the book and find out!!!! There is a lot of action and suspense. There are also a lot of characters to choose from as to who is TJ's crazy fan! Try to figure it out!!!! Silas has crazy men after him too. A great book that sucked me in from the start! I recommend it so go out and buy one for yourself!
I received this book from the publisher but was not asked to write a review. These thoughts are my own.

T.J. a writer who has been receiving mail from one particular fan that started out fine in the beginning. Then all of a sudden when she doesn’t follow the fans advice the letters get more and more scary. She’s only to happy to go back to Whitehorse to have Christmas with her sisters and get away from New York. Silas Walker is called the mountain man because that’s what how he wants to be perceived as. He has secrets and is keeping a low profile. He gets a odd encounter with T.J. in NYC when she almost gets hit by a truck and he pulls her back. She doesn’t know if he pushed her or saved her. He was just trailing a suspect and was at the right or wrong place depending on whose opinion it is. He’s shocked when he sees her passing by in a cab to learn it was his favorite author he just saved. Well they’ll meet again since Whitehorse is a small town. This is a book about estranged sisters coming to terms with the past and making amends. It’s a love story, mystery, that has a lot of suspense. I loved it and can’t wait for Chloe story. I’m loving the Clementine sisters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and these options are solely my own.

Once again she's writing really well. Three sisters are meeting in Montana after their Grandmother passed away earlier in the year, to celebrate the holidays. TJ is a writer of thriller books, that sometime even scare her, Chloe is in private investagator of sorts, manly thru news media, and then there's Annabelle, who inherited Grandma Frannie's house, because she knew that Annabelle would need someplace to call her own, when her modeling job went sour (which it did). Now all the girls are in thr process of meetinf some nice men who work regular at good jobs, the best is yet to come.

All I can think or say us WOW! This is by far the best suspense, mystery I have read. I absolutely adore this author and this amazing series. Just when I thought the danger was over and could breath again, BAM all hell breaks out and my poor heart pounding 90 miles an hour again. Absolutely loved T.J, and Siles's story and can hardly wait next book.!!!!

Talk about a great book. In this book we meet TJ Clementine the author who is being stalked. This book is about second chances in away. For TJ had dated once before but lost her man why we can't say until you read the book. Silas Walker has been busy being a cop. This book has some neat twists in it and it has a few surprises in it. It has lots of suspense and it will keep you guessing on who is TJ's stalker til the end. Its in someways better than the first. Its definitely worth a read. Looking forward to the final book that's for sure. Its been fun reading each sister's story.

The second gripping installment in B.J. Daniels' wonderful Clementine Sisters trilogy...

“I can’t help but be concerned. That last letter…”
What he wanted to say was “we have to find True Fan before True Fan finds you,” but he held his tongue. She was already scared enough. She didn’t need him sharing his instincts or experience with her.
Unfortunately, those instincts and his experience on the job told him that True Fan would be making good on those threats – and soon.
As he pulled up in front of her house, he turned to her and reached for her hand. “Do me a favor, okay?” She nodded, seeming surprised by how serious he’d become. “Don’t go anywhere alone. Take one of your sisters if you insist on going out. Especially don’t go chasing True Fan. Wait for me. I’m not sure how long my business is going to take me, but –“
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine.”
How many times had he heard those words?
“That’s what they all say.” He felt her shudder. “Just do it for me.”

B.J. Daniels returns to Whitehorse, Montana with the second gripping installment in her wonderful Clementine Sisters trilogy with Rogue Gunslinger. This entry casts bestselling suspense author Tessa Jane “T.J.” Clementine with mountain-man loner Silas Walker and sports a duo of suspense elements.

As the story opens, we learn that for the last six months, T.J. has been the recipient of multiple letters from her “true fan.” They started innocently enough but have become increasingly threatening. Seeking to escape the stress, T.J. is looking forward to joining her sisters in Whitehorse for the holidays.

As she leaves her apartment in New York City waiting for a cab to take her to the airport, she is unexpectedly shoved off the curb into the path of a truck. She’s saved in the nick of time by a passing stranger who disappears without a word. Was he her rescuer or was this a warning from her “true fan”? When she arrives in Whitehorse, certain that she has escaped her assailant, her feeling of relief is short-lived when she spots the same man in Whitehorse.

Silas is a former cop currently working as a private investigator. He had been following a man when he rescued T.J., not recognizing her as his favorite author until she’d already entered the cab she had been seeking. Silas is actually heading to Whitehorse as he has made plans to move to Montana after falling in love with the area through T.J.’s writing. I thought that was a really cool touch.

I thoroughly enjoyed the development of T.J.’s and Silas’ relationship. Even though he was big and tough looking, he was actually a sweet, patient guy with T.J. Once he learned what she was dealing with, his cop instincts told him she was in trouble and he was determined to help her find who her “true fan” was and to protect her.

There’s a second suspense thread in that when Silas was a cop, he was responsible for bringing down some dirty cops. While helping T.J., Silas receives word that those same dirty cops had put a hit out on him. The warning gives him little chance to prepare to defend himself. It was awesome how T.J. followed her own intuition when she felt that Silas was in trouble.

Seeing the three sisters spending more time together, mending their relationships and offering T.J. their full support was a treat.

Being a romantic, one of my favorite scenes involved a sweet kiss:

Without another word, he reached for her, drawing her across the bench seat of the pickup. She felt a burst of pleasure expand inside her as he wrapped her in his strong arms and kissed her. His mouth was warm and sweet on hers.
“I’ve been wanting to do that since the first time I saw you,” he said.

B.J. is one of my favorite authors. I know when I pick up one of her books, I’m in for a well-plotted, entertaining read with striking fleshed-out characters. She’s not failed to deliver yet and certainly doesn’t with Rogue Gunslinger. This tale includes multiple heart-pounding, fast-paced, intense scenes and a plethora of villains which kept me glued to the pages. The sweet and romantic ending is a perfect wrap-up to the story. If you yearn for a good western mystery with a light romance, I’d encourage you to pick up Rogue Gunslinger.

When author Tessa Jane Clementine gets threatening letters, she ignores them at first until they become more threatening and include hints about harming her. Returning to her home in Montana, she hopes the letters will stop, but they continue. Then she meets Silas Walker, a former policeman, who helps her try to find out who is mailing her the disturbing letters. Although there are lots of possibilities, both Tessa Jane and the reader are surprised when the letter writer is exposed. I enjoyed this novel.

I really enjoyed this intriguing Romance. I voluntarily chose to review this story, and I've given it a 4.5* rating. While not for the under 18 readers, this has plenty to pull you into this story and keep your attention to the end. These three sisters seem to attract plenty of trouble. This is the second in this series I've read and they get pretty exciting towards the end.

TJ, the author, receives threatening letters

She finds herself back in her old hometown in Montana to spend Christmas with her sisters. She thinks Silas, a former policeman, might be her True Fan. However, he turns out to be her love. However, it is a great story in discovering who the True Fan really is.

Wonderful book!

Rogue Gunslinger

Not much of a gunslinger or a rogue either. A former cop that had outed the dirty cops in his dept. Net the author of his dreams in her home town. Both were hiding. She, from a fan that wanted to kill her and him, from the hit man his former cops had hired.

Another Good Story

I am addicted to B J DANIELS and plan on reading all of her books. I like that there is always a mystery in the story and some romance yet the romance doesn’t over power the story. This was another good Clementine Sisters story.

Pretty mediocre. Not a lot of "romance" for a romance novel. Pretty flat characters all around. I get that Tom wa ssupposed to be a red herring but his whole arc made zero sense. Didn't really care about the characters all that much. The timing / depth of scenes felt very shallow / fake.

Once again enjoyed the Clementine sisters dynamics and the suspenseful unraveling of two mysteries intended to end in the deaths of two major characters. Romance woven into the plot simply increased the tension. Love it!

This was a fun, easy read, despite some goofs - tape to rope to tape again and a couple times 'her' was supposed to be 'his' and vice versa. The 'big' fight scenes felt a bit implausible, but weren't bad. Kind of fun seeing a writer writing about a writer. I enjoyed it.
