Stranded with the Detective was great! I loved that it was full of humor and romance in the midst of danger. More often than not the men are always the hero and strong leads with level heads. I really enjoyed that in this book the hero had an equal. Colby and Piper were a good match and bonded in an unusual way. They shared a strong connection through the fight for survival, along with shared strength and resolve. They were left in an unusual life and death situation and both kept level heads and relied on each other to survive. I liked that Colby was not too alpha to let Piper take the lead and help when needed. This story had many edge-of-your-seat moments and kept me guessing until the end. It was full of twists and turns and action to keep you engaged and wondering who the bad guy was, how many there were, if both Colby and Piper would survive and if everything would be resolved and work out in the end. There was a lot going on…danger and potential enemies at every turn. Definitely a pulse-pounding read.
I enjoyed this intriguing romance and I bought it at a local library sale. I voluntarily chose to review this story and I’ve given it a 4.5* rating . It is not for the under 18 readers. Besides the sexual content, there is a lot of violence and just plain meanness. There is a lot of action in this that pulls you into the story pretty quickly and keeps a hold on you till the end. Both the hero and the heroine are pretty tuff and go through a lot. I’m on to my next.
Life was pretty good for Piper Carraway. Her horse breeding business was doing great, except for the strange accidents that had started happening on her ranch. Then Todd Palmer stole Piper’s prize stallion. She tracked him down and was just about to take the horse back when detective/SWAT member Colby Vale stepped in. Piper didn’t trust anybody, not even the police, so she took off on the horse. With Colby close behind. Too bad she played right into Todd’s hands. He and a bunch of men working with him grabbed the pair, drove for hours into the mountains, and left them there. With no shoes and only Colby with a coat, there wasn’t much hope they would survive the freezing cold.
Piper and Colby were a level-headed pair whose skills and resourcefulness were put to the test getting off the mountain. This started out very exciting. I wanted to know if/how they would get home before freezing to death. But it got a little far-fetched when they ran into the mountain people.
This suspense had a few surprises that I didn’t see coming.
3.5 stars
This is another thrilling read in the Tennessee Swat series.What this book has in common with the other books in this series is non stop action, suspense, mystery, intrigue and danger. It has in depth loveable and realistic characters that go from one dangerous situation into another. What this series doesn’t have in common with other book series is they are all original stories that pull you in and keep you turning the pages and guessing until the end. I would definitely recommend this book and this series.
