As they piece together her past, Tanner wonders what lies hidden in Paige’s mind. And as the truth begins to emerge, it becomes clear that a ruthless enemy wants certain secrets … wants certain secrets to stay buried.

What would you do if your relaxing kayak ride down the river was interrupted by a woman’s scream and gunshots? Personally, I’m such a chicken that I would probably turn that thing around and head back the way I came from. Of course Tanner Brody is too dedicated a police officer to do that, even if his new job hasn’t yet officially begun. That decision quickly puts his life on the line as he finds a young woman who doesn’t remember anything but it is evident that someone wants her dead. His protective instincts kick into high gear and one page-turning, breath-holding, suspense-filled story ensues.
I have read few novels with more twists and turns and secrets than Fatal Recall, yet somehow the author managed to pack it all within the covers of a short Love Inspired Suspense novel. Characters are well developed, especially Tanner who is the perfect hero with his strong sense of duty. I enjoyed every minute of this book from the danger and (of course) romance to the characters’ need to depend on God to see them through.
I would strongly recommend Fatal Recall to anyone who enjoys superbly crafted suspense and also appreciate a novel that can be finished in a relatively short time. Once again Carol Post has made me a happy reader.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by the author. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.
As a new author to me, Carol J. Post’s newest release Fatal Recall, will not be my last!
I found myself drawn into this story from the very first page, gripping my kindle as I wondered who was the woman that screamed, who wanted her dead, what did she know that amnesia has now covered up and has her running for her life, and who would would be around the next corner?
The main characters in this story, Tanner and Page, both come from very difficult and hurtful past. Can they trust God to get them out of some very dangerous situations when people are out to end their lives? Can they trust that God has a plan for their lives no matter what they’ve done or what they’ve been through? This edge of your seat page turner is filled with lots of suspense and a good amount of romance that will keep you turning page after page to the very end!
I received a copy of this book from the author, but was not required to give a positive review. This is my honest opinion of this book.
Fatal Recall had a great combination of action, suspense, and romance. I really enjoyed watching and learning along with Paige as she slowly regained her memory, while trying to stay alive!
The attraction between the two main characters felt very realistic to me. I appreciated the respect that grew between these characters and the way that Tanner valued Paige as a person. Both Tanner and Paige had survived a lot in their pasts and it was interesting to see the way they reacted to life and the idea of God loving them.
I am happy to find out that this is the first book in a new series and I definitely look forward to reading the next book when it releases.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
Better breathe deep and fill your lungs now
because once you start , you be holding your breathe
until thevery last word…………
Tanner Brody is kayaking on the Nantahala River in the
Nantahala National Forest near Murphy, North Carolina.
He is on vacation before he starts a new job in Murphy
as a police law enforcement officer.
Along with the rushing river water, he hears a gun shot.
Next thing he knows, shots are coming close to him.
Getting off the river, he follows the sound of a woman
screams. He finds an unconscious woman. She has hit
her head but no other injuries. She has no identification.
She has no memory but knows someone is after her. Who
is this woman? Why was she hiking in the Forest? Why
is someone shooting at her?
Then they find a man shot to death? Who is he?
What a thought provoking, complex, uniquely plotted
mystery!!!
The cast consists of cleverly crafted characters, well
defined and interesting characters. Murder, robbery,
danger, a small mysterious box add to this fast paced
adventure.
Intrigue is heightened to mountainous proportions
filled with a lot of tension, suspense plenty of thrill,
chills, twists and turns and drama.
A Highly Recommended Christian Suspense Mystery.
I volunteered to read Fatal Recall. Thanks to the author
for the opportunity. My opinion is my own.
The thing I liked most about this story was the way the author used the setting to enhance the plot! She used the woods, the rushing river, the city, the urban areas and the prison, along with other areas to take the reader into the story and feel like you were right alongside with the characters. Very few stories have had that effect on me! I really feel like I’ve been to Murphy, North Carolina now AND Atlanta, Georgia because of this book! The author really brought it to life, along with the heart-pounding danger of the story. Tanner is just kayaking on the river one day, minding his own business as he gets ready to start his law enforcement job in a couple weeks when he hears gun shots in the woods! He doesn’t think too much of it until he hears a woman moaning so he gets out and goes to investigate. He finds a woman injured and she can’t remember who she is or what her name is but she is definitely being pursued by people intent on killing her! So begins the story and it doesn’t slow down from there! The woman has complete amnesia and Tanner must figure out how to help her. I got very caught up in this story and loved finding out how all the pieces fell into place. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it too!
I received a complimentary copy of this book but wasn’t required to write a review. My opinions are my own.
this is apage turner of suspense. they both have a troubled past, she cannot remember who she is , can they solved the mystery of who is trying to kill her? enjoyed the book
Carol J Post is a new to me author. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I loved that the story takes place in the Murphy,North Carolina area. Being very familiar with the area, I enjoyed reading about Tanner and Paige being shot at in the woods and running for their lives. Although, they had never met they have to try and survive. They each have demons to contend with from their past. Both have life failures that they are trying to overcome. With the help of friends and God they may just make it through.
Tanner Brody is canoeing on the Nantahala River, on the edge of the North Carolina Smokies, when he hears a gunshot, followed a scream. He searches, and finds an unconscious woman. When she wakes, she has no idea of who she is, or how she got there. And now someone is shooting at them both.
Our nameless heroine remembers nothing. Except she prays when things are bad. Then she remembers an attack. A knife. And she’s holding it.
One of the criticisms of Christian fiction is that it’s full of perfect people living perfect lives. Okay, that’s an overstatement. But it can be hard to find a Christian novel that’s dealing with mending broken people without making that the main focus of the plot.
Fatal Recall manages to address this while maintaining the focus of the plot on the mystery of who the heroine is, the suspense of who is after her, and the developing romance between her and Tanner. There is a clear but understated message that our background forms us into the adults we become—good or bad. But we don’t have to stay that person. Faith in God can help us become the adults He meant us to be.
Fatal Recall is a fast read, as is typical for Love Inspired Suspense. But it manages to pack a surprising amount of plot, character, and spiritual depth in those words. Recommended for Christian romantic suspense fans. Thanks to the author for providing a free ebook for review.
Fatal Recall will grab your attention in the first couple pages and won’t let go. Tanner is on the river and hears a woman scream and goes to shore when he hears her. When she regains consciousness she has no memory prior to waking up. Tanner has just moved to Murphy, NC and is to start his job as a police officer. While trying to help he finds that she’s in even more trouble than he thought. Someone is trying to murder her. Enough said – read this book. Paige is not your typical heroine and there are a lot of surprises in store. This book is to be released in June from Love Inspired Suspense by Harlequin. I highly recommend this book and author.
This is the first book I’ve read by author Carol J. Post but definitely won’t be my last. I received this as an ARC from the author with no expectations for the review. All opinions are my own. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.
This is the first time I have read a Carol Post book and I must say her story captured my interest from page 1! Not knowing who you can trust puts Paige in unusual danger as she struggles to ‘recall’ her past. Is she a felon, or worse, a murderer? Police officer, Tanner, is enjoying a much needed vacation when he stumbles upon an unconscious Paige. He senses trouble, but his sense of duty keeps him at Paige’s side through her amnesia. Is she a criminal, or the best thing that has happened to him? A dead body, a mysterious box, and flying bullets keep you on the edge of your seat in this faith-fill romantic suspense set in the beautiful Nantahala National Forest near Murphy, NC! I was given the opportunity to read this book through an author newsletter.
The intriguing plot moves along at a good pace. The characters are well developed. Both main characters had horrible backgrounds but overcame them to become responsible adults. I liked them and was hoping for a romantic relationship to develop between them. There is a satisfying HEA. Carol Post tucks little nuggets of wisdom into the story: He couldn’t be grateful and still be angry. Because gratitude and anger never went hand in hand. I would recommend Fatal Recall to romantic suspense readers and anyone that just likes a good story.
