My Review:

Deadly Target is the second novel of the Rocky Mountain Courage series.

It can be read as a stand alone (or, like me, you had forgotten a lot of what happened in the first book), but I would advise reading the first one before this.

A lot going on in this book. I had a hard time at first, following everything, and then the believe-ability factor. However, as the story continues to develop things start to come together.

I enjoyed this novel. The characters are well developed, the plot flows smoothly, and it has a satisfactory ending, even though the series will continue. The only thing that I did not like about this story is one thread that was not quite connected to the story or completely resolved.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves romantic suspense novels that are low on romance and high on suspense! Fans of Lynette Eason, Lynn Blackburn, Dee Henderson, Nancy Mehl, and the like will also enjoy this book.

 ★★★/5

Synopsis (from Goodreads): 

Criminal psychologist Erin Larson's dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.

Nathan Campbell's father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin's help to solve the case. She's good at what she does. The only problem? She's his ex.

As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted--and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.

The race is on for the truth in this gripping and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.
