SAFE BY THE LAWMAN’S SIDE
Maggie Slade’s been on the run since witnessing her husband’s murder, hiding from a killer who wants evidence he believes she has. A killer who was dressed as a LaMar Pond policeman. And she’d better run fast, because it’s not just her life on the line—Maggie now has year-old twin babies. But then she’s attacked again, and rescued…by a LaMar Pond cop. Trusting Lieutenant Dan Willis is frightening. Letting him take her back to LaMar Pond to find her husband’s killer is terrifying. But to protect her babies, she’ll risk anything. Even her life. And as she grows closer to Dan and learns to trust again…she may even risk her heart.
My thoughts:
INTERRUPTED LULLABY is written by talented newcomer, Dana R. Lynn. This is her second book with Love inspired Suspense and she definitely has the formula and story down. Police officers have been hunting for Maggie Slade who went missing after a stint with jury duty. Other jurors were found dead, but Maggie fell off the radar. But the police find her at the same time as the villain so immediately the police and Maggie (and her twins) are in danger. I’ve said this before and I will say it again, I would never survive as a heroine in one of these romantic suspense stories. The bad guys would make one attempt at my life, succeed and end of story. It does make for edge of the seat reading though! What will they do next? How will the heroine survive? Why is trying to kill her and why? You have to keep reading to find out the answers to these questions and more. This is the first one I can remember where the heroine is running with two infants–and in the first two chapters not just one, but two police officers are injured in the line of duty. Talk about fast-paced! 4.5 stars
