    Dead on Arrival Nichole Severn Another nail biting suspenseful story in Battle Mountain. This time a serial bomber attacks people and businesses in the small town putting a strain on the police resources. Cree steps in to offer his expertise only to find he and Alma are constantly in the crossfire of the bomber. With very little to go on and attacks on all sides they have to come together and fight their fears in order to save the town and themselves. A wild ride from the beginning to the end. A must read. I received an ARC for an honest review.

    This story grabs ahold of you from the first chapter and doesn’t let go. Alma Majors is with the Battle Mountain Police Department. She is investigating a a horrific crime. “You don’t really want me to go back, Alma. I think you’re scared. I think you have feelings for me, too. You’re afraid to get hurt again. Like your husband hurt you. You’re terrified of someone else getting close, someone who could potentially hurt you, and that kind of risk just isn’t worth taking.” “Cree Gregson is on leave from the Larimer County bomb squad. He is there to help investigate the bombing. The more there together the closer they get. This is more suspense than romance and that’s fine with me because it was a non stop thrill ride. “I’ve lived with this empty space in my chest since the divorce was final, like a part of me stayed behind.” “But when I saw the aftermath of the bombing at the police station, and I realized it’d been filled. By you. This author writes the most intense romantic suspense. Grab this one now!!

    This book was fantastic. It’s a bit light on the romance but it makes up for it with pulse pounding action. It starts with a literal bang and just gets better and better. Alma is starting a new life for herself in Battle Mountain, and her first night on the job is a lot more than she ever expected. Cree shows up at the investigation to offer his expertise as a bomb expert. He’s been taking a leave of absence from his job, but somehow he can’t seem to stay away from this case or the newly minted officer who is even more intriguing than he imagined. I loved the slow burn between the two main characters. It was great to read about two people who were secure in who they were, were intelligent, confident and mature. And the action just seemed to be nonstop. I never felt like the story dragged. More like it dragged me along on an exciting adventure I was more than happy to take with the author. Highly recommended.
