Hidden Target by Rebecca Deel


Synopsis:

No murderer is going to unravel Madison Ryder's new life.

Following the deaths of her husband and unborn son, Madison spent two years knitting her life back together by returning home and opening a yarn store. Now the stalker who murdered her family means to finish the job. After someone sabotages her car and torches her store, Madison joins forces with Nick Santana, her husband's former partner, to capture the killer. She refuses to let the stalker unravel her life a second time--not without a fight.

Ex-cop Nick Santana searched two years for his partner's killer and, after a failed attempt on his life, the hunt leads him to Madison's doorstep. Nick's determined to capture the killer--if he can stay out of jail. Following his arrival in town, he's framed for murder. With evidence mounting and the law closing in, Nick must prove his innocence and win Madison's heart. Nick and Madison pursue the killer, but uncovering his identity could be fatal.

My Review: 4.5 Stars

Madison lost her husband, Luke, and unborn son when a driver ran them off the road. It's been two years and she's still trying to put pieces back together. She's back home in Otter Creek and owns a yarn store. She is determined to live her life. But when her stalker resurfaces and threatens to finish what they started, she decides to stand her ground. They will not take her life away again.. not without a fight. 

Nick left the force after his partner was killed. He became a PI so he could track down Luke's killer. He has kept a close eye on Madison over the last couple of years and in the process has fallen in love with her. When a trail leads him to Otter Creek and to Madison's doorstep, he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. She's already been through so much and he refuses to let any more hurt and heartache land in her life.  

As they work together to figure out who has it in for her, Madison realizes that she's slowly been falling in love with Nick too. But when tragedy strikes, she wonders if she will ever get the chance to tell him how she feels. One thing is for sure, he's been doing everything he can to keep her safe, and now it's her turn to return the favor. Neither one of them will go down without a fight. They are determined to get their HEA. 

I have been enjoying this series so far. It's fast paced in action and suspense. It has romance but it's not the main focus, which has been nice. Don't get me wrong, the heroes are definitely alpha males that take care of the women they love and will stop at nothing to make sure they are safe. There have been some swoony kisses, but the books focus more on suspense and finding out "who dunnit". With so many characters overlapping in the books, I'm intrigued and will definitely keep reading this series. 

Ms. Deel is a new to me author and I'm glad I stumbled upon her books. I'm always happy to add more clean read authors to my list. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more by her!

And now for my casting... I love these two!
