The Man from Nowhere

Conard County: The Next Generation #4

by Rachel Lee

Just coming off a bad relationship and stuck in a work-related nightmare, Trish Devlin doesn't need more stress. So when she spots a stranger lurking outside her home, it's the last straw. Yet she's drawn to this compelling man who claims to have visions of her impending murder and offers protection.

Grant Wolfe can't explain why he feels compelled to defend the skeptical beauty, but he ignored a premonition once before—with deadly consequences. Can he convince Trish that his visions are based in an all-too-dangerous reality—or will the killer get her before their love has a chance?

I really liked this book. It's my favorite of 2019 so far. Grant and Trish make a cute couple and they got the bad guy in the end. I loved the cover, as well.

Trish Devlin, an accountant on vacation, is creeped out when she sees a stranger sitting on a park bench, staring at her house in the middle of the night. She is even more creeped out when said stranger, Grant Wolfe, reveals his true purpose for his nightly visits - he had a vision of her being murdered. And he's adamant he'll prevent her from meeting her fate.

Good premise with a nice paranormal angle, but weak in execution. The pacing was very slow with lots of redundant scenes, the hero and heroine were too bland to be interesting with a non-believable attraction to each other, the resolution was too brief, and left a big question mark whether someone from Trish's firm was involved or not.

Forgettable.

Just a good old love story and Of life's circumstances and what you do with them!! :)

Also with a bit of knowledge of quantum physics...

Wasn't as romancy as I thought it would be. The beginning was slow, but the end went quickly. The ending was good and I liked how everything didn't go as planned, yet it was close.

If you could see the future, how would you explain it? Lee has one of the more unique explanations about how such a thing could happen involving quantum physics. An engaging story!
