Elizabeth Goddard: Present Danger

 By Kelly Bridgewater 

Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue mission. He's committed to finding the killer, even if it means working alongside his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors.

When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a deadly turn--one that hits too close to home. As Terra fears she lacks the courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect her. But he's failed her before. And if he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts.

Join bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth Goddard as she plunges you into a web of deceit made of hidden crimes, open threats, and long-buried family secrets in this gripping first book of an explosive new series.

 

 

My Thoughts: 

Present Danger by Elizabeth Goddard hits all the marks of a romantic suspense novel. From the beginning, the heroine and hero lives are put in danger. Sparks fly all over the pages as they decide whether to trust their past relationship’s feelings or ignore each other all together. While the plotline does check off what readers of a romantic suspense want in their novel, I wish there was more about the hidden artifacts. Goddard gave a view of them in the cabin and some backstory, but I wish there was more information about the importance of these items. Why were important? Where they reported missing? Did the cops or another agency try to hunt these items down before now? It is like they went missing, and no one really cared, or at least, Goddard did not show us the importance of these missing items. On the other hand, the characters behaved in predictable ways. Nothing out of the ordinary. They chased the clues and the romance. Goddard’s writing is good. She wrote a story that fans of romantic suspense would enjoy. I believe fans of Lynn Blackburn, Irene Hannon, Colleen Coble, and DiAnn Mills would also enjoy this novel. 

I received a complimentary copy of Present Danger by Elizabeth Goddard from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own. 

My Rating: 3.75 out of 5 stars
