Missing in New Mexico + Giveaway

Cracking a cold case

has this lawman under fire…

Sheriff Joaquin Fuentes stumbles upon a desert car crash in New Mexico, rescuing Luann St. John from the smoking wreckage—but this was no accident. Someone sabotaged her vehicle to stop her from uncovering the truth about a twenty-year-old plane crash tied to her father’s disappearance and diamond smuggling accusations. As danger closes in, Joaquin is determined to protect Luann, even as they’re hunted at every turn. With secrets unraveling and a killer lurking, the truth could clear her father’s name—or drag Joaquin and Luann into a deadly grave.

My Review:

Please note: this book releases on September 25 so there will be a bit of a wit until you get your book.

Really stunning storytelling. The way the author builds the suspense while developing the relationship between Joaquin and Luann is so well done. The words just flow, the scenes fly by and I was utterly captivated. There’s wonderful pacing in the heart-in-throat action scenes. And the romance…blissful sigh! Joaquin is a toe-curling example of swoonworthy hero material. Love the way he tenderly but persistently looks out for Luann right from the start. And the delicious way they are drawn together made my romantical heart so happy!

I enjoyed the unusual setting (why aren’t more books set in New Mexico?) The author captured the unique geography and culture which brought another dimension to the story. I do so love a good armchair travelling read!

Well, listen in my case, as I enjoyed Caroline Turner Cole’s narration. Her performance brought these characters and their exploits to vivid life which made for an entertaining listening experience. Would definitely recommend this audio book to discerning listeners.

My thanks to Harlequin Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

  2. MISSING IN NEW MEXICO sounds like it has it all – great story, suspense and wonderful characters that it sounds like I’d fall in love with. I don’t know why folks thing armchair traveling has to be out of our own country. There’s so much to see here that I’ve never been to, but would like to know about. While I know this author, I’ve never been privileged to read one of her books. This book sounds like the perfect way to correct that.

    Thank you for the wonderful chance to win a copy!

    I had typed my reply earlier, but in my haste to drive to the pain specialist for my lower back, left side nerve burn I guess I hadn’t hit the send button. Now back home, I hit refresh to see if you had replied yet and nothing there. That’s when it hit that I must not have hit send earlier. Now under the influence of the IV meds, I hope this makes sense. LOL

    1. I’ve always been fascinated by New Mexico — such beautiful, stark geography and a surprising mix of temperatures, which surprised me. Ugh to nerve pain, Kay, praying you get it under control. Take care and relax with a good book. Good luck, Kay!
