Returning home to Colorado for his father's funeral, government agent Lake MacGregor confronts the enmity of the local townspeople and meets a captivating gallery owner, but their growing relationship is threatened by the demons of MacGregor's past and by a deadly assassin from the present. Original.
Although I liked Avenging Angel by Ms Dare, I'm not enjoying this one. The potential is there, but the story has more tell than show and the voice has a monotone narrator quality to it.
I'm finding Allison, the female lead, very annoying. At one point, Lake keeps asking her to leave and for her own safety she should and she's all "I'm not scared". But that just makes her TSTL. And her trying to psychoanalyze Lake got old and repetitive. Lake's character is good, but as Allison rubbed me wrong through out the book, it made it hard to appreciate Lake.
Not much happened throughout the book until the final stand off between Lake and his nemesis and then I found the fight scene at the end a little too unbelievable.
