About the author
Linda Turner
136 books15 followersBorn in San Antonio, Texas, Linda Turner and her identical twin sister, Brenda, were known throughout the neighborhood in which they grew up simply as "Twin."
No one except their parents and their older brother could tell them apart. They dressed alike, wore their hair alike, and even had the same glasses, so it wasn’t surprising that they were stared at everywhere they went.
Consequently, when Linda announced at the age of 25 that she was going to start writing romance novels, she wasn’t surprised when Brenda said, "I don’t care how famous your name gets, just make sure your face doesn’t become recognizable!"
Needless to say, Linda’s face isn’t known in every household in the U.S. — yet. Recently, she spent six weeks taking screenwriting classes at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, and she’s made no secret of the fact that she plans to write and — hopefully — sell a screenplay in the new millennium.

So, in The Loner we have Dillon Cassidy(DEA friend of Riley from Who's the Boss) and Sydney(the reporter of Hidalgo County).
Sydney is a great reporter, tenacious and can smell a story from a mile away. She tried the big city route and instead got stabbed(by a friend and realized her fiancee didn't really love her) and now loves where she is. So, when two teenage kids go missing, she knows there is a story and goes on the hunt.
When we last met Dillon he was getting burned out and planning to hand his badge, but he hung on to nab a drug lord, which resulted in him getting injured and a bullet lodged in his spine, which could paralyze him any moment. So, now he's retired and living like a recluse, when his friend Riley tells him he needs his help to track down two kids. Dillon isn't sure, his back limits him quite a bit.
They both run into each other as they are on the same track and Dillon isn't that polite but Sydney is no push-over and does as she pleases, in turn discovering the body of one of the boys.
I enjoyed the book especially the push and pull between them, Sydney was very independent and Dillon didn't want to get involved and saddle a woman with a man who could get paralyzed any moment. Even though I am not a big fan of books with reporters, this one was enjoyable, I did have a problem with Dillon pushing her away in the end and would have liked he accepted her at that time only.
Now, I am going to read Lady in Red which features Sydney's reporter friend Blake.
