Romantic Suspense

 

Wolf River is a nerve tingling suspense set in Montana, with many twists and turns, making it a page turner.

Erinn Winters is searching for her half sister, worried that the childhood she’d had may have changed her. Erinn is full of secrets, especially about her background and the father she despised. Her visions of death and danger didn’t save her mother, but she’s hoping they will save her sister.

Local rancher Jase Fortune, has sworn off feeling anything for another woman, after his acrimonious divorce. When he meets Erinn, he finds himself with the urge to protect her.

Someone is out to destroy the Fortune family ranch, and Jase is determined to stop them. When Erinn and her sister Devon, also become targets of the evil that has come to the area, Jase and Erinn find they mean more to each other than they’d bargained on. All their lives are at risk and it seems Erinn is the one with the clues as her visions become darker and closer together.   

All the main characters were really well drawn, making the story come alive as the plot developed. The main hero and heroine were fascinating, making them easy to bond with and their charisma really came alive as the story progressed. The plot action was easy to follow but complex enough to intrigue the reader and engage this reviewer’s interest. The conflicts were varied and the suspense was kept high, right through to the last chapter.

The dialogue had a good tone and style, identifying which character was speaking. The writing had a good pace and the style had depth and energy. This is the first book I’ve read from this author, but would certainly like to read another.

Motivation was clear for both good and bad, with a refreshing story that could have really occurred, making WOLF RIVER a joy to read. The tension was held throughout the book with many surprises along the way. The romance threaded through the tale was smooth, with some beautiful, sensual scenes that fitted into the storyline.
