About the book:
The Natchez Trace National Parkway stretches 444 miles from Nashville to Natchez, the oldest town on the Mississippi River. It's the perfect road for a relaxed pleasure drive. Unfortunately for Luke Fereday, it's also perfect for moving drugs.
Sent to Natchez to infiltrate the organization at the center of the drug ring, Luke arrives too late to a stakeout and discovers the body of his friend, park ranger John Danvers. John's daughter Brooke is determined to investigate her father's murder but soon finds herself the target of a killer who will do anything to silence her.
Luke will have his hands full keeping her safe. But who's going to keep him safe when he realizes he's falling--hard--for the daughter of the man he failed to save?
My review:
This was an exciting suspenseful story with mystery, plenty of action and a second chance romance! I liked seeing Brooke and Luke investigate her father's murder all while Luke keeps secret his true purpose for being there. He had a lot of juggling to do! He seemed like a slacker to Brooke as she thought he was a bartender and he couldn't reveal why he was there but she knew something didn't add up. Brooke was a determined, independent woman who valued honesty and straightforwardness. She was once good friends with Luke and just as it was about to turn into more he left without a goodbye. She's now dating a politician with an adorable daughter yet she's still drawn to Luke fourteen years later. There's a little bit of romance in the story. Brooke dealt with a lot in this story, from her dad's murder to her relationship confusion to finding out shocking information about herself, not to mention someone trying to kill her! Luke's grandma Daisy was a tough lady who spoke the truth and dispensed spiritual and relationship wisdom. Both Brooke and Luke were also Christians. I highly recommend this start to a new series and look forward to the next one about her friend Emma!
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
