Last Bridge Home

By Iris Johansen

He was a dangerously seductive stranger . . . 

Jon Sandell. Confident, controlled, a man with many secrets—and one remarkable power: the ability to read a woman's mind, to touch her soul, to know her every waking desire.

Who rocked her world . . . 

Now he's on a vital mission: to rescue a woman who doesn't even know she's in danger from the ruthless agents who wish her harm. But who will protect her from him?

With breathless intrigue . . . 

Alone in her ivy-covered cottage, Elizabeth Ramsey welcomes Jon's sudden appearance, for he is a link to the husband she loved and tragically lost. Until this mesmerizing stranger reveals his true intentions: to lure her from her ordered home and into his violent, passionate, precarious world. . . .

And desperate desire. . . . 

Soon, alone in a secluded mountain lodge, Elizabeth will walk a glittering tightrope between fear and fascination, unable to tell friend from foe, lover from enemy. Caught in a sensual game of love and lies, she must find the truth before she loses her life.

Reviews for Last Bridge Home

[jenniferrobb · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I read Iris Johansen in the past--more recently her romantic suspense novels, so I'd forgotten she had this series which is more sci-fi/fantasy romance with a smaller amount of thriller/suspense woven in. I remember some of the characteristics of the Clanad so I'm guessing I've read something from this series previously.POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD***Elizabeth Ramsey is a pregnant widow when her late husband's "cousin" calls on her. Elizabeth considers her Mill House home and even has a name for the final bridge--something she came up with as a child when she and her father traveled with her concert pianist mother. She calls it the "last bridge home".The cousin, Jon, comes bearing news that the NIB is interested in Elizabeth and her child because of Mark. Over the course of the story, we find out why this is so and watch Elizabeth and Jon spar as well as fall in love. It seems Andrew has some of Mark's Garvanian talents and may have been contacting his mother even while in the womb--or at least been sensitive to her mental states and moods. I am not sure if we'll get to see him grow up in the series or if we'll get to see what kind of man he becomes.
