Hidden Regrets

Pardner's Trust #3

by Randall Dale

When a troubled young man goes on the run after being arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, the one woman who believes in him makes it her mission in life to prove his innocence—no matter the cost.

Sammy Chappel is on the run after being arrested for a series of late-night burglaries he didn’t commit. He’s alone and afraid in a city he doesn’t know, and without a miracle of some kind, there’s no doubt he’s headed to prison.

Help arrives in the form of his employer, Karen Richardson. Convinced of her young friend’s innocence, she sets out to move heaven and earth to prove it. Her efforts bring her into contact with two men from vastly different worlds—police Detective Marco Salcido, and her former boyfriend, billionaire New York businessman Flemming DuBois. Either man can help the search, but Karen has to decide if they’re really interested in Sammy’s welfare... or her.

Racing against the clock, Karen leads the effort to track down Sammy and his wayward family, before it’s too late.

This final book brings all the others together in an unusual but gratifying way. I’ve stayed up nearly all night to finish reading.

This book kept me interested. Towards the end it felt rushed. Still a good read though.

You'll fall in love with these characters, who are brought forward throughout this Series. Few novels become such a part of my consciousness, continuing to trigger my senses. All 4 of these books will stay with me for a very long time.

Book 1, _Pardner's Trust_, was so exceptional, I wondered how Mr. Dale could compete with himself. I have now finished all 4 currently in this Series, and each book went deep into my heart -- each offering something different than I expected. Randall Dale is an exceptional storyteller and writer. He writes great characters, story-line and action sequences, keeping things moving right along at a good clip. I read each of these books with unwavering anticipation and was enthralled with the characters and story line.

In _Hidden Regrets_, Book 3 in the Series, the author has brought forth the main characters from Books 1 & 2, developing some of the previous sub-characters, and adding some unexpected new ones. Characters from diverse backgrounds, are woven into another rich and subtly powerful story. Powerful friendships make this story heartfelt, and the mix with negative characters and intricate story line create a profound impact.

Mr. Dale's characters come across as so real -- and very human. They touched me deeply, and will remain in my thoughts long after the book is closed.

I expect to re-read this Series more than once in the future. Can't wait for more offerings from Randall Dale.
