My Thoughts:

Reid Singleton has scoped out his next conquest.  Drew Fleming can’t believe she’s fooled someone.  As you can see from the title of the series, there’s some type of pact involved.  As I started reading, I found myself wanting to know more about it and wanting to know what I missed.

You won’t need to have read the previous two books in order to enjoy this latest but it might leave you wondering what kind of story the author created for her two other bachelors.  Especially as you get to know Drew.  She has an interesting job.  Hers seems to be one of those that could make or break a business – that must be a lot of pressure.

The author has created a story that seems so believable.  We have a man who seems to have his whole life mapped out but it was interesting to watch how his plans have changed.  Like the saying goes, “nothing is set in stone”.  Everything seemed natural and believable – the good, the steamy, the awkward and the sad.  Having it end on a upbeat and happy note is one thing you come to expect when you see that Harlequin is the publisher.  As far as the author goes, she lets us know about her next book – now I just have to remember to mark my calendar.  As well as find the time to get the other two Bachelor Pact books read.

Title: Lone Witness

Author: Shirlee McCoy

Genre: Romance

Harlequin Imprint: Love Inspired Suspense

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s Reviews & PR
Rating:  4.5 Stars

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Lady Amber’s PR and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Blurb:

She’s keeping secrets. He must keep her safe. An FBI: Special Crimes Unit page-turner.  Were it not for Tessa Carlson, Special Agent Henry Miller’s daughter would have been abducted. But rescuing the little girl has thrust Tessa—a woman in hiding—into the media’s spotlight…and into a criminal’s crosshairs. Now her survival depends on putting her faith in widowed single father Henry if she wants to live to see another day.

My Thoughts:

Tessa Carlson decided to make a change in her life – especially because of her past. Sometimes I think about the ambiance as I’m reading a book – it helps to give the reader a connection to the story. It doesn’t hurt that I live in the same state as Tessa. Bad news, I live on the opposite end of the state. That just means planning a road trip for just the right time of year.

Henry Miller has a job that got a little close to home. It shows that in today’s world, no one is safe. You’re going to have to be very careful about your heart. If not, there are two secondary characters that are going to steal it. At the very least they’ll steal every scene they’re in. The author knows just the right moment to pull you back to the story at hand – the mystery/suspense that put our main characters in the same space at the same time.

I’ve been reading Harlequin’s for a very long time but this is my first in the Love Inspired Suspense line. Now I’m wondering what took me so long. This author made it very easy to lose myself into what was going on. It became all about finding out who created this mystery in the first place and then the suspense as to when we were going to find out the culprit so that we can get to a peaceful ending. But this ending wasn’t quite so peaceful because the author may just get you to laugh – or at the very least chuckle. One thing is certain; it had me looking forward to checking out more of her series.

New York Times best-selling author Shirlee McCoy loves books. She loves reading them. She loves writing them. She loves sharing them with family, with friends, and with total strangers on airplanes and in doctor's offices. It's no surprise that she loves being an author. Her first book was published in 2004. Since then, she's written more than 45 novels. Her books have appeared on the New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, and USA Today bestsellers lists.
Of course, her love for books pales in comparison with her love for family. When she's not writing, she's homeschooling her two youngest children and spending time with the people she cares about most. Her books are a reflection of her passion for relationships and community. An advocate for adoption and a firm believer in the power of faith, love, and compassion, Shirlee writes books that explore the dynamics between siblings, parents, children, and friends.
