MY REVIEW:
Known by Kendra ElliotMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Known by Kendra Elliot is a 2016 Montlake publication.
This fifth installment in the 'Bone Secrets' series gives Chris Jacobs top billing, when he meets Gianna Trask and her teenage daughter, Violet, under extreme circumstances.
When Gianna’s cabin retreat catches fire, she and her daughter barely make it out alive. Chris also happens to be at his cabin at that time and brings the ladies to safety. But, he knows right away the burned-out shell of the cabin will reveal a very serious crime and that Gianna and Violet could be in danger.
Sure enough, it quickly becomes crystal clear that Gianna is a target…. But why?
I always enjoy Kendra Elliot’s romantic suspense novels, and this one is no exception. I love Chris Jacobs and was pleased to see him meet a kindred spirit in Gianna.
The story is fast paced, intense, suspenseful and emotional. The plotting is tight and unfortunately it captures the underbelly and greed of human nature all too well. It’s also a poignant family drama, with a bittersweet tone to it.
The action grabbed my attention right away and kept me riveted by building the suspense with perfect pacing, until it reaches a race against time drama that kept me glued to the pages.
The author did a terrific job of creating characters I could care about, and balanced the romance with the suspense exactly the way I like it.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will keep my eyes peeled for the next installment in this series!!
