ROMANTIC PICKS #READAROMANCE FOR #ROMANCEREADERS

They met in a war-torn city on the other side of the world and shared an anonymous night of passion. They didn’t intend to meet again. Nor did they think they’d be reunited by sinister secrets…

Five years later, FBI Agent Savannah Kane is headed to a small town in Georgia for the funeral of her best friend’s husband. Going home is fraught with complications, but Savannah never imagined one of those would be Ryker Stone, the stranger she’d shared an unforgettable night with.

Haunted by an ambush that took the lives of two men in his unit, Ryker now copes by living a solitary civilian life. Attending the funeral of yet another soldier, this one lost to a senseless accident, he is shocked to run into the beautiful stranger he has never forgotten.

When another man in Ryker’s former unit dies under suspicious circumstances, he suspects that someone is targeting his team. He’s determined to get to the truth; Savannah is just as determined to get answers for her friend. Neither wants to work with the other, and as they struggle with trust and attraction, the truth grows murkier…and more dangerous. Will finding answers reveal secrets neither one of them is ready to know?

While the police use the tag to jump-start their stalled investigation, Alicia sets off on her own to find the missing woman. Her search takes her into the heart of Miami’s Cuban-American community, where she meets the attractive but brooding Michael Cordero, who has his own demons to vanquish.

Soon Alicia and Michael are not just trying to save Liliana’s life but also their own, as someone will do anything to protect a dark secret…

ROMANTIC PICKS REVIEWS That Summer Night by Barbara Freethy

THAT SUMMER NIGHT

Author: Barbara Freethy

ASIN: B00KPZSHSM

Publisher: Fog City Publishing, LLC

Ebook

305 pages

Romantic Suspense

Rating: 4 Stars

This novel while being the 6th in a series is an exciting action packed stand alone read. The main heroine is a doctor who finds herself in a horribly traumatic situation in another country while working on a pharmaceutical trial. Her mentor who helped her along the way in her career is missing and she’s tasked with doing him a favor by encouraging an estranged sibling to assist her. The truth is that up front I felt like I knew where the story would go and I was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t go the way I expected. Each time I thought I knew what was coming the author blind sided me with suspense and pulled me back into rooting for both answers and love to win. The best part is when I finished I wanted to know more about this family. Now I am off to download more of the series because all of the stories mentioned in this one that intersect with the characters sound fabulous. I am hooked!
