Covert Coverup Mount Shasta Secrets #2 By Elizabeth Goddard When her neighbor reports suspicious activity next door Kately Bradley checks it out for her. What she finds is neighbor Beck Goodwin being attacked in his own home. When Katelyn attempts to intervene she finds herself the newest target of an assassin. Katelyn knows that Beck is hiding something and that he didn't tell the whole story to the police. The question is why. But all too soon both are busy keeping half a step ahead of someone who seems determined to keep them from ever disclosing what they know. There is just one problem Katelyn doesn't know anything and Beck doesn't want to talk about it. But with both their lives on the line Katelyn wants to know why. Beck is sure that his late wife's death and his subsequent "investigating" has put him in someone's crosshairs, he just doesn't know whose and why they have decided to target him now. But he knows he doesn't want to put anyone else in danger and that is just what is happening. Katelyn doesn't want to drag her family into the mess and ruin her brother's upcoming wedding. Can she help Beck discover the truth and still be her best friend's Maid of Honor in three days? Time and a determined killer are against them... This is the second book in the Mount Shasta Secrets series and can easily be read as a standalone if you have not read the first book. As a Love Inspired Suspense series, you don't have to be concerned about graphic anything - this is a clean read. The story takes place over just a few days and involves several scenes of peril that understandably are suspenseful. But being a Love Inspired Suspense you can be assured of a satisfying conclusion. Overall I would highly recommend this book to those who like suspense and romance with no blushing involved. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Get ready to be strapped in for a roller coaster ride! From the first chapter to the last, Beck and Katelyn are constantly on the run! They are neighbors but as soon as they figure out that Beck's deceased wife was murdered, not accidentally killed, they don't know who is after them. However, when they figure it out, it is a race to stay one step ahead of the assassins! Beck has a darling son, Ollie, who makes an appearance now and then and I would have liked to see more of him but really, Beck was doing all he could to keep him out of the way of these crazy men after them! It was a wonder how they stayed alive! My only "negative" comment is that Beck was a little too bossy in my opinion. Katelyn was a trained private investigator and ex-cop. She knew her stuff and yet Beck seemed to tell her what to do a lot or lead the investigation when HE was the one who hired her! It would have been a lot better if she were more forceful and if he would have listened to her more but I enjoyed the story and the action was non-stop so I had a very hard time put the book down! Can't wait for the next one!

Neighbor helping neighbor turns into a race for their lives! As a former law enforcement specialist, turned private investigator, Katelyn Bradley has experienced many different scenarios but this one seems to be stretching her to the limit. We start with a burglary, then attempted murder, accidents, fire, shootouts and kidnapping - by now I am suspecting everyone, even Beck, who hired her! This incredible story keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering which shoe will drop next! The romantic attraction between Katelyn and Beck just adds to the tension, particularly when he disagrees with many of her more experienced decisions. Will they manage to get out of this without further loss of life? An ARC was received through Love Inspired Suspense and NetGalley. The impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.
