Series:
Ironside Protection Service (Book 2)
Can he stop the killer who has found her again?
The only woman to escape the notorious Yuletide slayer,
Nora Santana wants to stop running and put down roots in this tight-knit
Montana town. But a chilling holiday message from her Secret Santa tells Nora
her carefully constructed cover has been blown. Out of options, she must rely
on Ironside Protection investigator Bo Lennox to keep her alive. With the
fatalities rising, Bo and Nora confront their taboo attraction as they unearth
long-buried secrets…and a killer who's closer than they could ever imagine…
This book started with a bang and kept the tension going
from start to finish. Nora has been running and hiding from the Yuletide Killer
for years, after escaping the man who killed her three friends when they were
teenagers. She has kept a low profile and changed her name, but he always finds
her. She thought she was finally safe in the small town of Bitterroot Falls,
Montana, until a mass shooting gained national attention (
Big Sky Slayer). A
terrifying message from the killer tempts her to run again. But she's tired of
looking over her shoulder and decides to stay and fight.
Nora goes to Ironside Protection Service for help. Investigator
Bo Lennox helped her after the shooting and is the only man she knows who makes
her feel safe. Bo is initially reluctant because he is attracted to Nora and
feels that it would be a distraction. But Nora insists, and Bo's boss agrees
that Bo is the best option.
The suspense of the story kept me turning the pages. From
the killer's reappearance to the final confrontation, I was hooked on finding
out who the killer was. I could feel Nora's fear as he went after her friends,
and Bo's frustration as they tried to figure out his identity. I loved Nora's
determination to do whatever it took to stop the killer, but I wanted to shake
her when her fear for Bo and the others led her to make a stupid decision. The
final confrontation and revelation was a twist I didn't see coming, yet it
disturbingly made sense.
I
enjoyed the development of Bo and Nora's relationship. The mutual attraction is
undeniable, though both try to keep it professional. I loved how Bo cares for
Nora, taking care of her after near misses with the killer. I liked seeing them
connect over painful pasts and how sharing their pain leads them toward a
future together. Though they declared their feelings for each other quickly, I
liked seeing that they took time to get to know each other. I look forward to
seeing them in later books and tracking the progress of their relationship.
