Goodreads
FINAL DECISION: Action packed and very intriguing romantic suspense. There is more suspense than romance, but I enjoyed this one enough to want to read more of the series. A warning that the story is not self-contained.
THE STORY: When Cassidy Hamilton, youngest daughter of potential US President, is almost kidnapped off the street, she is saved by cowboy Jack Durand. The two end up on the run trying to find out who wants Cassidy. The truth strikes close to home for both Cassidy and Jack as it appears that family might be at the heart of the danger that both are in. The conspiracy that the two tumbled into is decades old and people will kill to bring the conspiracy to fruition.
OPINION: I really liked that the book began with immediate action. The book was very focused on the suspense portion of the story. There is a romance, but I wouldn’t read the book for the romance alone because the focus of the story is the mystery suspense.
The book is filled with overlapping stories and points of view which makes the book a big puzzle. I thought the book was filled with tension and drama and I worked to figure out who was being deceptive and who was honest.
The suspense story is definitely the highlight. There is a lot going on here and I think it might have been even better if I had read the other books in the series.
The romance between Jack and Cassidy was pretty predictable at first but wrapped in a very tension filled and dramatic storyline. I was completely surprised by how their romance ended up. The story is not complete here and the twist at the end might end up disappointing those looking for a pure romance. I ended up being completely enthralled by the story and definitely will be reading the next book to find out what happens.
WORTH MENTIONING: This is the first book by B.J. Daniels that I have ever read, I thought it was good and I now want to read the Montana Hamiltons series from the beginning.
CONNECTED BOOKS: INTO DUST is the fifth book in the Montana Hamiltons series. I have not read any of the other books in the series, but I was able to figure out most of what was going on. I suspect that the book would be even better if I had read the other books in the series.
STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.
