Synopsis
Jimmy finally takes a vacation–and a chance on love–only to be abducted. His female companion originally thinks he had cold feet about their relationship, but Sean and Sara know there’s more to it. Jimmy isn’t the type to just up and disappear, let alone leave a lady stranded.
Setting out on their private jet, Sean and Sara reach the tropical paradise of Ocho Rios, Jamaica with sightseeing as the last thing on their minds.
With a gold coin being their initial tie to Jimmy’s kidnapper, Sean and Sara even speculate about the involvement of pirates. Yet as the hours pass, and there’s no word from Jimmy’s captors, Sean and Sara will need to figure out the real motive before it’s too late.
With help from their friend, Adam, back in Albany, the pieces come together and not a moment too soon.
The book will be released on 1/15/15 but is available for pre-order!
The first book is just $0.99 (at the time I wrote this!) – The Day Job is Murder (McKinley Mysteries series Book 1)
Excerpt
For a man who had given up on love, dining under the Ocho Rios’ moon reaffirmed that all things are possible. Jimmy Voigt sat across from Meredith, a woman who, just a couple months back, had been a stranger. She carried the black evening dress she wore elegantly, its straps loose and dangling over her shoulders. In the candlelight and a beautiful setting such as this, it was hard to resist her. A portion of him didn’t even want to try.
“Thank you for taking me with you, Jimmy.” She smiled at him, wistfully, as she lifted her wine glass for a toast. “To us.”
Review
This is a shorter book but don’t let the length fool you, a lot of action is packed into those pages!
I think it helps if you have read some of the earlier books in this series, at least the first one, to get a little background on Sean and Sara. Jimmy is mentioned in the first book as well. Even if you don’t read the first book (or any of the others) I think you would still enjoy this book and not be lost with any of the characters.
I was surprised at all of the twists and turns and then the final reveal of the “bad guy”. Was not anyone that was on my radar!
Worth reading and we give it 4 paws up!
