By Kelly Bridgewater
At the advice of her therapist, homicide survivor Harper
Reynolds has traded her job as a crime scene photographer for a more peaceful
life taking photographs of the natural world. But her hopes for a life
surrounded by the serenity of the outdoors are dashed when she inadvertently
captures a murder being committed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She flees the scene
in fear--and loses the camera.
Former Green Beret Heath McKade is a reserve deputy in an understaffed county who has been called in to protect Harper, a childhood friend he is surprised to see back in the area. When Harper learns that the sheriff's department can't find any evidence of the murder she witnessed, she is determined to do what she can to see that justice is done. What neither Harper nor Heath could know is how many explosive secrets from the past will be exposed--or how deeply they will fall for each other.
In this suspenseful page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps you on the edge of your seat as you discover that uncommon justice lies just on the other side of fear.

My Thoughts:
Romantic suspense novels must have non-stop action with
death knocking on the heroine and the heroes door with a budding romance
between the two. With Always Look Twice
by Elizabeth Goddard, her story does definitely that. From the first chapter, I
was thrown into a hair raising situation with Harper and wanted to know how the
man behind the shotgun was too. Throughout the entire novel, Goddard did a
fabulous job at tightening the noose around Harper's neck. Even so far as to
have the police suspect her for a moment. As for the romance, it grew from
childhood friendship into something deeper, which is completely predictable for
this genre. There wasn't much spiritual elements to the characters. It was a
hit or miss moments. Not really that important to the characters or the plot. A
little disappointing. I wanted them to have a deeper faith and transform by the
end of the novel. As for character's transformation, there really wasn't any.
When you meet Harper and Heath at the beginning of the novel, they stay the
same by the end of the book. Overall, Elizabeth Goddard crafted a high tension,
flowering romance , but the characters really didn't have that deep change
moment from their dark moment. Fans of Irene Hannon, DiAnn Mills, and Colleen
Coble might enjoy adding this novel to their forever shelves.
I received a complimentary copy of Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard, but the opinions stated are
all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
