An unseen community, troublesome abilities, unforeseen captivation… also a suspected criminal in Nate’s eyes.
Ordered to work with the elusive Maggie to find the kidnapped woman, Nate begrudgingly does so. But Maggie doesn’t want help, nor to be arrested. And she clearly has something to hide. Something that will change everything for Nate, in more than one way…
Faced with kidnappers, an irregular FBI agent, things that shouldn’t be possible, and unexpected temptation… will they be able to trust each other long enough to solve the crime?
Outsider is the first novel in the Ashport Mender Series. If you like action, hot romance, and potty-mouthed attitude, then you’ll love this PNR / UF series.

G.K. Lund is a new author for me, but based on Outsider (The Ashport Mender Series Book 1) this is an author I will need to read more of. This book is well done on several levels, as a suspenseful thriller and as a paranormal tale, certainly, but to me what makes it is how the paranormal community is described and how a hard-nosed non-paranormal wold deal with discovering. Both that detective, Nate Hansen, and the paranormal consultant he is forced to work with, Maggie Evans, are very well drawn. I’m looking forward to seeing their relationship develop and hope future books are as good as this one. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
So the blurb made me believe this would be an action packed romance…..it is not action packed.
The writing ability is fair but it definitely did not capture my interest by chapter 10 I was getting bored and still had 6+ hours left in book one let alone the 3 following books
I’ve dropped this series and may continue it at a later date

This has a great plot and a fab spunky and sassy female mc who does not get on at first with our sexy but broody male mc! A fab fast paced paranormal/mystery/romance that will keep you on your toes with its suspense, mystery and thrills and I cannot wait to read more from this author!
Outsider – Paranormal Romance – Book 1/4 by G.K. Lund is a wonderful start to a brand new series. This is book number one out of four in this brand new series that I have loved reading. I can not wait to read the rest of this wonderful series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about urban fantasy and paranormal romance.

„Outsider“ (The Ashport Mender Series) is an excellent series starter, that blends mystery and paranormal romance tropes with a solid plot and very characters.
Ashport is the nice kind of town tourist are drawn to until a woman gets kidnapped in broad daylight. Nate Hansen, the detective assigned to the case, is not particularly keen on working with Maggie Evans, the special consultant to the case is barely another criminal in Nate eyes. But as the plot develops Nate will find a lot more about the things going on in his “nice little town” as he ever suspected.
The story arc relies more on the thriller aspect as on the romantic part of the plot, which give the book a depth that is rarely found in “paranormal romance” books. Both MC are very well crafted, their chemistry undeniable from the very beginning, Nate’s scepticism and Maggie’s abilities complement each other in the search for the culprits. As a reader we are privy to both POV with makes the whole even more interesting to “watch” as it develops.
Already looking forward to the next book in the series.
The beginning of the book was a little slow but when we get to part 2 it starts to pick up and I totally got engrossed with what was happening. I would definitely read book 2.
Great start to a new series. Maggie is a Mender and has lots going on in her life. I loved Maggie as she fought through everything. I enjoyed her interactions with Nate who is a detective. Lots of action as the two work together and great chemistry. This book had something happening all through to the end and I loved it. A little bit paranormal with tons of interesting characters. I look forward to reading book 2. I am voluntarily reviewing a free copy I received.
