A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Shattered (Alaskan Courage #2) - Dani Pettrey

This is the second book in the series.  The first book is called Submerged .  The others are Stranded and Silenced.  The fifth book in the series, Sabotaged, comes out January 2015.

At the beginning of this book, we find Landon drowning his sorrows.  He loves Piper McKenna desperately but thinks she'll never feel the same way.  Then a murder happens and the prime suspect is her brother, Reef.  Landon feels like he's part of that family and is worried how Piper will take the news.  He's a "play by the rules" person and likes to be logical all the time.  He went by his feelings in the past and was burned.  He likes to be absolutely sure of things before committing to a decision.

Piper is the opposite.  She runs on feelings and what she feels for Landon is quickly evolving into love.  She feels torn, because she's trying to find the real killer and sorting through her feelings for Landon.  He keeps giving her mixed signals, but they're going to have to talk through it eventually.

The murdered woman had a very tangled past, so finding her killer won't be easy.  The search takes them all over the place, including Canada.  The plot has a lot of twists and turns, making this an easy read.  I finished it in two days!

I love this writer's style.  She sets up the relationship between Gage and Darcy for book 3, Stranded, quite nicely, but you're going to be okay if you read them out of order, like I did. The author has a great way of making sure the stories are connected without penalizing you if you skipped a book.  I look forward to her new release in January!  Good Book!
