RS Review: I'll Never Let You Go (Morgans of Nashville)

 

I've finished "I'll Never Let You Go" the 3rd book in her Morgans of Nashville series by Mary Burton.

Product Description

LOVE HURTS

He promised to kill her. One night four years ago, Leah Carson’s husband almost succeeded. Philip stabbed her twenty-three times before fleeing. The police are sure he’s dead. But fear won’t let Leah believe it.

AND SOMETIMES

It starts with little things. Missing keys. A flat tire. Mysterious flowers. All easily explained away if the pattern wasn’t so terrifyingly familiar. Leah has a new veterinary practice and a new life with no ties to her nightmare. But Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agent Alex Morgan suspects something.

And when another woman’s body is found, stabbed twenty-three times, Leah knows her past has found her.

IT KILLS

As Leah and Alex untangle the horrifying truth, he watches her, ready for the perfect moment. Until death — that was the vow they made. And a killer always keeps his word.

My Review:

Storyline:  Leah Carson’s husband Phillip promised he would kill her and he nearly succeeded.  Four years ago on their anniversary he stabbed her 23 times and managed to get away but the police believe he is dead!  But is he?

Strange occurrences start happening like missing keys, flat tires and mysterious flowers being sent and when another woman is stabbed 23 times Alex Morgan knows something is up!

Characters:  Leah Carson used to be a strong and confident woman before her husband stabbed her 23 times and reduced her to be aware of her surroundings and being frightened he has returned from the grave.

Alex Morgan is a great investigator among his own people but isn't well liked.  I really like how the Morgan clan is very close and they love to rib and support each other.

Romance:  Leah and Alex's romance takes time to build up because they are always busy or something or someone always ruins their dates.  From the very beginning you can sense the attraction between them and they were made for each other because they are both loners and keep their emotions in check.

Villain(s):  The villain was very psychotic, sick, cruel and sadistic.  He believed that he loved his wife and she should never of left him so decided to take things into his hands!

4/5

RS Review: Cover Your Eyes

I've finished "Cover Your Eyes" by Mary Burton.

Don't Look

At first, they struggle to escape. Then a torrent of blows rains down upon their bodies until their eyes cloud over in final agony. The killer shows no remorse -- just a twisted need to witness each victim's last terrified moments.

Don't Speak

Public defender Rachel Wainwright is struggling to reopen a decades-old case, convinced that the wrong man is in prison. Homicide detective Deke Morgan doesn't want to agree. But if Rachel's hunch is correct, whoever fatally bludgeoned young, beautiful Annie Dawson thirty years ago could be the source of a new string of brutal slayings.

Just Prepare To Die

Rachel's investigation is about to reveal answers -- but at a price she never thought to pay. Now she's become the target of a rage honed by years of jealousy and madness. And a murderer is ready to show her just how vicious the truth can be.

My Review:

Storyline:  Rachel Wainwright goal is to defend wrongfully convicted offenders because her older brother got stabbed in jail before she got evidence to prove he was innocent.  Rachel's new client is Jeb Jones who was convicted of killing Annie Dawson three decades ago.

Detective Deke Morgan is under the shadow of his father Buddy Morgan who solved the case of Annie with unverified evidence and blood on a weapon found in Jeb's car trunk.  Deke's recent case is Dixie Simmons who was murdered by the same kind of weapon used on Annie.

Characters:  I'm glad that Rachel didn't back down and let anyone intimidate her from her mission to defend Jeb.  I'm also glad that she hounded Deke about the DNA analysis like a pitt bull!

Romance:  This was actually funny because they got on each other nerves at the beginning but they were attracted to each other.   It was a surprise to both of them and it wasn't until near the end they finally gave into their feelings.

Villain(s):  Both of them are quite sick in the head and one is even more than the other.

3.5/5
