Cold Dawn [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Cold Dawn" the 3rd book in her Black Falls series by Carla Neggers.

Product Description

The small town of Black Falls, Vermont, finally feels safe again — until search-and-rescue expert Rose Cameron discovers a body, burnt almost beyond recognition. Almost. Rose is certain that she knows the victim's identity…and that his death was no accident.

Nick Martini also suspects an arsonist's deliberate hand. Another fire killed an arson investigator in California months ago. Now the rugged smoke jumper is determined to follow the killer's trail…even if it leads straight to Rose. Nick and Rose haven't seen each other since they shared a single night of blind passion, but they can't let memories and unhealed wounds get in the way of their common goal — stopping a merciless killer from taking aim straight at the heart of Black Falls.

My Review:

I highly recommend this series if you like great characters and gripping and horrific deaths, etc.

Storyline: The small town of Black Falls, Vermont, finally feels safe again — until search-and-rescue expert Rose Cameron discovers a body, burnt almost beyond recognition. Almost. Rose is certain that she knows the victim's identity…and that his death was no accident.

Nick Martini also suspects an arsonist's deliberate hand. Another fire killed an arson investigator in California months ago. Now the rugged smoke jumper is determined to follow the killer's trail…even if it leads straight to Rose. Nick and Rose haven't seen each other since they shared a single night of blind passion, but they can't let memories and unhealed wounds get in the way of their common goal — stopping a merciless killer from taking aim straight at the heart of Black Falls.

Characters:   We get to meet some of the characters from both of the other books in the series. The Cameron's, The Harpers, the Neal's, an ex-NAVY SEAL (Grit), an ex-reporter (Meryl)  and Nick the best friend of Sean Cameron. Nick is ruggedly handsome, a multi-millionaire, a smoke jumper and business partner with Rose's brother Sean.  He comes to Vermont to find who killed his friend an arson investigator earlier in the series and spent a night of passion with Rose one time in California.

Rose is the younger sister of TJ, Elijah and Sean beautiful, a loner, a search and rescue expert with her dog Ranger.  She slept with Nick in California, made some terrible mistakes and finds a dead body (burnt) of someone she knows.  The body happens to be Derek Cutshaw a guy she had a couple of dates with.

Romance:  You can really see and feel the sparks between Rose and Nick.  Glad that the romance didn't resume until near the end and they got to know each other better and realize they were in love.  Everytime they were on the same page I swear the pages were going to go up in flames.

Killer:  The killer is ruthless and a sociopath who is a serial arsonist and part of a network of killers.  The killer is quite brutal in their killings and kills anyone that gets in their way.
