About this ebook


In Beartooth, Montana, land and family are everything. So when Destry Grant's brother is accused of killing Rylan West's sister, high school sweethearts Destry and Rylan leave their relationship behind in order to help their families recover from tragedy.

Years later, Destry is dedicated to her ranch and making plans for the future. Plans that just might include reuniting with the love of her life…until her brother returns to clear his name and the secrets of the past threaten her one chance at happiness.

Rylan is done denying his feelings for Destry. But when clues begin to link her brush with death to his sister's murder, will discovering the truth finally grant them their chance at love or turn them against one another for good?

    This is a difficult to describe novel. It is part romance, part suspense and part mystery - but it is 100% pure enjoyment.I went into this novel not in the mood for reading this type of book, yet I found myself being quickly drawn into the story and unable to put the book down. This is a novel filled with complex characters, and there are a lot of them. The idea of lovers being torn apart by tragedy is a little old hat, but B.J. does a wonderful job giving it a bit of a fresh twist.There are many plot twists and enough red herrings to make even the most hard-core mystery fan weep with unbridled glee. The descriptions of the countryside left me wanting to visit. The romance (and sex) is mild, although important to the story -it isn't the main theme. The plot doesn't revolve around the 'couple', yet we do end up with our romantic HEA in the end.In other words, this is an author I am going to make a point of buying and reading whenever I get the chance. In fact, I went and bought another book in this series just this morning and can't wait to get to it!

    Having never read another of Ms. McKenna's books, I can't say whether this is written in her usual fashion. I was looking forward to this as a launch book for the Nocturne series. Unfortunately, the constant repetition of information made me less than enthusiastic about reading it. It's just not a style that appeals to me.

    Unforgiven is a compelling, gritty thriller from Australian bestselling author, Sarah Barrie. When the body of a young girl dressed in a mermaid costume is discovered among bushland on the central coast of NSW, doubt is thrown on the conviction and imprisonment of serial killer and paedophile, Thomas Biddle aka The Spider. Lexi Winter has no such doubts, as a victim of Biddle and his paedophile network which included her own parents, she has never forgotten the man who orchestrated her abuse. Determined to prove the latest murder is the work of a copycat, Lexi is reluctantly reunited with Detective Inspector Rachael Langley, who arrested Biddle 18 years ago.Offering plenty of tense moments, Unforgiven offers a well crafted, fast paced plot. I was caught up in the hunt for the murderous ‘copycat’ as Rachael and Lexi, along with Lexi’s younger sister Bailee, and the members of the task force, work together to expose the truth and prevent the death of any more innocent children. I liked Lexi a lot, she’s a complex character, essentially a functional alcoholic, who makes her living as an escort. Hardened by her life experiences she is a survivor, tough, resourceful, and sometimes reckless, but also not without her vulnerabilities. It’s brave of Lexi to become involved in the ‘copycat’ case, given both her past, and present (which includes a dead man in her boot), and her general antipathy for authority.There’s an interesting backstory between Lexi and Rachael which results in tension between the two women that also spills over into Lexi’s relationship another detective on the case who happens to be Rachael’s nephew, Finn Carson. I found both Rachael and Finn to be appealing characters, and I really liked their dynamic with Lexi. Though Unforgiven deals with the grim subject of child abuse, there is unexpected levity to be found in Lexi’s sarcastic wit, and the behaviour of her remarkably helpful neighbour, Dawny. Unforgiven is a terrific, riveting read, I’m left with the impression that there will be more books featuring Lexi and her role as a police consultant in the future, and I really hope there will be.
