I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Counter
Attack by Patricia Bradley because even though I tend to love small town
law enforcement stories I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance stories.
But I didn’t need to worry. As the romance in this one is only a small part of
the story.
Alexis Stone is a Chattanooga police
officer who wants to be police chief. She has no desire to go back to her small
hometown of Pearl River though the grandparents who raised her are still there.
Nathan Landry is the police chief of Pearl River. He never wanted to leave his
small town and he’s Alexis high school boyfriend. Neither one is looking for
romance when an emergency lands Alexis back in town as the acting sheriff and
both of them trying to stop a serial killer.
As someone who only likes a little bit
of romance with my romantic suspense this one was perfect. What I loved about
this one the most was the faith aspect, while Alexis is running from God he’s
running after her and he uses her grandma to do it. The faith of that woman
reminded me so much of my own grandma. And I just loved her stubborn grandpa.
Counter Attack was a quick read I kept turning pages
because I just had to know what happened. It’s not every day you find a
romantic suspense set job in a small town that involves a serial killer. The
only drawback for me as a reader is that I figured out the bad guy before the
heroine and hero did. Even though there are clues throughout the book it’s not
enough for most readers to pick it up, but if you read as much suspense as I do
then you may also piece together the clues. However, it didn’t take away my
enjoyment of the book and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through
netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions
expressed are mine alone.
