Nowhere to Hide
by Louise Lyndon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Contemporary Erotic Romantic Suspense

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Forty years ago the Australian rural town of Burrawang Bend was the scene of a brutal murder, and the townspeople are still calling for justice. Marlee Moore, the suspect’s and victim’s granddaughter, is fighting to clear her grandfather’s name. And no one is going to stand in her way. But when things take a dangerous and deadly turn, Marlee must turn to the one man she was determined to run out of town.

Devon Reilly, investigative journalist for his hit TV show, Justice Served, is in Burrawang Bend to solve the forty-year-old cold case murder. But, he didn't bargain on Marlee keeping him from investigating the case and he soon questions where her loyalties lie. With the living? Or with the dead? But when Marlee and her son’s life are put in danger, Devon knows he is the only man who can keep them alive. But what happens when he soon realizes he is the bigger threat to the woman and kid he loves?

EXCERPT ONE:

He took his time drinking from his bottle of water. He rubbed the back of his hand across his lips and exhaled. “Well, if her death was deemed an accident, then he stood to gain financially. A hundred thousand dollars in the early seventies was a considerable amount of money. And that is called motive.”

“It’s still considered a considerable amount of money. At least by me it is.” When she couldn’t loosen the lid of her water, he reached for it. Her gaze lingered on his. “When you were doing your piece to camera, I heard you say Pops had told people Marion had terminal cancer. Surely this would lead people to infer she might have committed suicide. If that was the case, then the insurance wouldn’t have paid out. There goes your motive, Reilly.”

He slid the opened bottle of water toward her.

“If Marion had cancer, then surely Pops is innocent.”

“It would certainly have the investigation looking in another direction. But, Marlee, there are no doctors or nurses or other health care professionals to support Saul’s claim Marion had terminal cancer. None of Marion’s friends confirmed she had cancer either. Surely, that would have been something she would have confided to her family and friends. It doesn’t make sense she would want to keep that toherself. Especially since she had a kid. She’d want to make preparations for her daughter.” He looked pointedly at her. “Your mother. And then there is the issue of the selective autopsy. If a complete autopsy had been performed, then we would have definitive proof of whether or not she had cancer.”

“Why wouldn’t the coroner examine all of Marion’s organs?”

“That’s the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question. Within a day of the autopsy report being provided, Marion was cremated. An inquest was held, but the coroner could not make a decision as to whether or not Marion was murdered, if she committed suicide or if her death was an accident. Saul and other witnesses refused to give evidence. Hence, the open findings ruling. I’d like to question the coroner but I believe he died a couple of years after Marion.”

REVIEW:


This book was a little long, but still a very entertaining and intriguing read that will keep you fully engaged!

This book delves into a 40-year-old cold case that has caused rippling effects over the years.

Marlee, with her son in tow, is trying to clear her grandfather’s name and prove he didn’t kill her grandmother.  At the same time, investigative journalist, Devon Reilly, is trying to prove the opposite.  Although these two clash and seem like they’d be sworn enemies you can feel the tension amount and the passion break through!  Marlee and Devon’s relationship is complicated, yet, hot, steamy, and filled with full blown passion!  Even if they can’t agree or get along – all bets are off when these two end up between the sheets!

I liked the main characters.  They were real, genuine, and relatable.  There is no fluff or rainbows in this book, these characters are flawed and REAL.  Both characters have serious baggage and traumatic backgrounds.  This explains why they have walls up and don’t trust easily.  But when things get dangerous they must work together and rely on each other to solve the mystery and make it out alive.

There are some great lines and witty banter that will definitely make you laugh out loud!

The chemistry between Marlee and Devon just explode and jump right off the page! 

There are so many blushable, but enjoyable moments that are hot!  So you probably will want to read this book at home lol.

I have never been to Australia, but have always wanted to.  This book, that takes place in Burrawang Bend, Australia, provided so much detail and insight I felt like I was there on a mini-excursion.  Just terrific detail!

This book hits on many genres!  There is contemporary, romance, suspense, mystery, and erotica!

There is a lot going on in this book, but not overwhelming.  This book is soundly structured, well written, and evenly paced.  The writing flows and the storyline keeps you captivated.

This book is book one in the Justice Served Book Series.  I am excited to see where this series goes and look forward to checking out the series!

I was thoroughly entertained by this book and would absolutely recommend it!  However, please note that there are several hot and steamy adult scenes that may or may not be appropriate for a young reader or someone who would be offended by those actions.
