If you love a good whodunit and romance...
A dead body, a flood, and a boy’s rescue. Can Annalisa Carabelle keep the boy safe while racing to discover a killer before it's too late?
All Annalisa Carabelle wants is a successful summer season for the bed-and-breakfast she co-owns. She never expected the flood, the boy who needed rescuing, or the man who came from nowhere to help. The dead body? Well, the wound to the head proved it had nothing to do with do with the deluge.
Richard Jordan’s plans for the summer include as much scrambling up waterfalls as possible. He needs the adrenaline rush because life has proven routine, even pointless. But both the woman and the boy called him a hero, and maybe the dead body is a wake-up call. Life might be worth living if he and this intriguing woman can find the killer and make sure he doesn’t kill again.
But they’ve got too many suspects, and even the police are baffled. With the family protecting the killer, he might just get away for good, unless they force his hand—and stay alive while they are doing it.

My Thoughts:
*****
Blindsided. I was blindsided by the twist in this suspenseful, mystery. I had absolutely no idea which direction Linda K. Rodante was going to take this story. That doesn't happen often and it was the absolute BEST!
Flooding. Rescues. Murder. Romance. Angst. Bed & Breakfast. Firefighter. This book had it ALL! In the best possible way imaginable.
What I think I liked most of all, though, was the faith aspect in Annalisa's character. I could "see" her influence whittling away at Richard's unbelief but loved how the author made the romance about loving God and not just loving Annalisa.
I love waterfalls and the descriptions of the trails and the falls were amazing. I could almost hear the roar of the falling waters and feel the drops on my face!
I look forward to reading many more books by this author :)
I am very excited and thankful to review this book today!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
