Thoughts
It’s a tense story. The author is very effective at describing the stalking scenes as well as the break-ins. Thankfully she also includes strong women who don’t freeze when danger is near. The characters are very likable, except of course, the bad guys.
The audio version made for a great listen narrated by a man and a woman, both very popular narrators. Phil Gigante has a wonderful voice for romantic suspense, and Natalie Ross always does well.
Carry me Home is the first in the Paradise, Idaho series by Ms. James Book two is Hold Me Close and number three, to be released May 17th, is entitled, Turn Me Loose. Realistic subjects, well portrayed characters, and a tightly written story make for a terrific read.
