Synopsis:~
Four nail-biting novellas in one!
Lethal Homecoming
Nolan Tanner never got over Kallie Ainsworth’s sudden, unexplained departure. Now when he comes to her rescue after an attempt on her life, all the old feelings come rushing back.
Lethal Conspiracy
When professional fundraiser Lillian Maloney sees her father’s campaign manager commit murder, she goes on the run from the men he hires to kill her. A close call brings firefighter Jason Tanner to the rescue, but the killer is closing in . . .
Lethal Secrets
Someone wants Honor McBride dead. When Eli Murphy helps her change a flat tire and discovers the danger Honor is in, he longs to help–but Eli has secrets of his own that could get them all killed.
Lethal Agenda
When Detective Derek St. John rescues a woman he’s met only once before–and has never been able to forget–he finds himself falling for her. But he’ll have to keep Claire Montgomery alive if they’re to have a future together.
Necee’s Take:~
Protecting Tanner Hollow was a wonderful compilation of novellas that captured the heart of small town mystery and romance. There are four stories, each uniquely written with connections that weave through the stories. However, each can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed seeing new and much loved characters pop up. From beginning until end these stories are packed with suspense.
Lethal Homecoming…perhaps a little too fast of a read/happy ending, but I loved the story anyway! When Kallie returns home she’s met with danger before she even gets there. Detective Nolan is one of those leading men that will capture your heart. He just wants to protect Kallie and maybe steal her heart, too. I love seeing their characters pop up in this series, too!
Lethal Conspiracy…When Lily wakes up in a hospital with firefighter, Jason and the doctor believing she is trying to kill herself the sparks are set off immediately. As she tries to get them to believe she was running from a murderer another attempt is made on her life. It’s a face paced story that kept me wanting more.
Lethal Secrets is such a heartwarming story of a widow of five, just trying to survive. Honor has little money and comes to Tanner Hollow to start over, but mysterious accidents and threats are making a fresh start difficult. Eli has a wonderful heart and as he steps into help, it just made me yearn for their happy ending.
Lethal Agenda is by far my favorite. As an avid fan of Eason’s Blue Justice series, I loved seeing Derek St. John’s story merge with the Tanner Hollow community. I’ve been hoping for his happy ending and though I wish he’d gotten a full length story, Eason did a phenomenal job with this novella. When Derek sees Claire again, she’s in the middle of danger and they both have to figure out how to keep her safe. I loved both their strong characters.
Overall, I thought this was a great 4 in 1 book. It was an easy, fast paced read, that ended with all the feels. Loved it! For fans of romantic suspense that want a quick read, this four in one will fit the bill! It’s a must read for Blue Justice fans.
