Luck of the Draw

Luck of the Draw hits the ground running with the suspense and danger, then falters a bit. It moves along at a stilted pace until about the halfway mark, then picks back up for the rest of the book. That said, it felt like there was a bit too much going on with this one, which was distracting for me. I also had mixed feelings about the characters, especially Joslyn who I never did quite warm up to. There is a good suspenseful story at the core of this one, but the whole thing could've done with some tightening up.

Loved this book! I really enjoyed the characters and the story! I have always liked the way this author writes, with multiple storylines going. It is fun to see lots of things going on at once and how they all tie together in the end. It's fascinating to me. Garrett Sterling is just out riding his horse near his family's property one day and can't believe it when he sees a woman being dragged along in the woods by a man with a gun! When he looks away for a moment, he hears gunshots and then sees a body and he thinks it's the woman but......well, you'll just have to read the book and find out what happens! Garrett calls the sheriff to meet him at the crime scene and there begins a whole crazy investigation that spans several states. I was so wrapped up in the story that I didn't want to quit reading but eventually I had to put the book down! This author knows how to weave a story and how to make you feel invested in her characters. Don't forget to read the last chapter - she saved a whopper for the end!!!
