Inconclusive Evidence by Reily Garrett

4 Stars

Inconclusive Evidence is a romantic suspense novel, book #3 of the McAllister Justice series.

It begins with an investigative reporter mailing incriminating evidence to a friend for safety. When Megan Chauner opens the package, she finds that it contains evidence of illegal nanotechnology experiments on humans. She realises that if she’s been sent this her friend is in danger, and she, too, might not be safe.

Megan decides to try and hide until she can assess the material and contact her friend, so she takes off to a rented cabin . However, she soon discovers that she’s not the only one who has rented this temporary home.

Luc McAllister is on medical leave from the police force. The last thing he needs is a woman who is very handy with a dart gun, claiming his space. But when her dog kicks up a fuss, they realise they’re being watched. Each believes they might be the target.

This is the latest case for the McAllister family to show the bonds they have and the skills they and their partners bring to help stop criminals. If you are a dog lover this series has an added bonus for you, with loveable, dependable animals who also play an important part.

I’ve read all three books in the series, they fit the genre well and can be read as stand-alone books, but to enjoy them fully I would suggest reading them in order.

My #BookReview of #RomanticSuspense Bound By Shadows by @reily_garrett

Bound By Shadows by Reily Garrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bound By Shadows is book #2 of the McAllister Justice romantic suspense books.

Kaylee Tate recently moved to Portland. She wakes-up in a cage, finding herself a victim of a kidnapping. The last thing she can remember is sitting in a café. Her head is fuzzy with the drugs she must have been given.

The cage is underground and Kaylee is not alone; another girl urges her to wake-up. Taking her one chance of escape, Kaylee promises she’ll send help as she runs off into a dark tunnel. Realising that she’s in Portland’s famous underground tunnel system, Kaylee hopes her kidnappers won’t find her.

When Kaylee walks into a police station, she meets members of the McAllister family, brothers who are either policemen or are connected to policing. Kaylee is relieved to see these friendly faces that she knew from her school days. It’s Caden who takes Kaylee to hospital while his brothers launch a search and rescue operation for the other girl.

They discover clues of a possible sex trafficking ring, but the girl and the cages are gone and, as a witness, Kaylee is still vulnerable. Whilst protecting Kaylee, Caden faces some of his own fears and the pair find a deep mutual bond. The tension builds through-out the story to an exciting and satisfying ending.

I enjoyed the mix of suspense and romance. Characters from book #1 return and the cameraderie and banter between the McAllister brothers was fun. I will look forward to further adventures and romance from more books in the series.

The architect of fear employs many forms.

Kidnapping and murder never crossed Kaylee’s mind when seeking a fresh start in Portland, a new beginning to shed the remnants of tragedy dogging her steps. After escaping from an underground cage, she fights to stay one step ahead of the killer bent on silencing his only witness. Kaylee.
Two months after dodging a sociopathic murderer’s best efforts, Caden McAllister flounders within a social sink hole, unable to move forward, too stubborn to step back. Guarded and wary, the private investigator’s stagnant lifestyle detonates into chaos when a battered and bloody young waif stumbles into his care.
Framed for a murdering a past lover, Caden must clear his name and overcome his charge’s doubts while keeping her out of the sex-slave trade. When betrayal ends with Kaylee’s re-capture, Caden must conquer his past and risk all or lose the one he has come to love.
Murder, mystery, underground tunnels, and romance are intertwined in this standalone romantic thriller, the second installment of the McAllister Justice Series.

Though her kids are her life, writing is the life after. You know, the one you also enjoy…AFTER the kids are in bed or AFTER they’re in school and the house is quiet. This is the time she kicks back with laptop and lapdog to give her imagination free reign.
In life, hobbies can come and go according to our physical abilities, but you can always enjoy a good book. Life isn’t perfect, but our imaginations can be. Relax, whether it’s in front of a fire or in your own personal dungeon. Take pleasure in a mental pause as you root for your favorite hero/heroine and bask in their accomplishments, then share your opinions of them over a coffee with your best friend (even if he’s four legged). Life is short, cherish your time.
