Once Removed

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This was a book that kept me glued to me e-reader. There were some very different mysteries that made for an intense read. Who and why was someone breaking into Lainey’s home? Who murdered her soon-to-be ex-husband? Who started the fire and why try and push Lainey back into the burning building? Was someone after the young teen girl that they found at the deserted compound? Who was now breaking onto Brody’s ranch? Can Brody keep both Lainey and Phoebe safe? There were many questions raised in this story that kept me guessing throughout. This was a sexy read. It was not overly graphic nor overpowered the story in sex scenes but it was more of a natural progression of the relationship between Lainey and Brody. I would recommend this to anyone over the age of 18. It was also written in my favorite dual POV format. This helped to fully understand the characters.

Wow...Margaret Watson sure delivers! Once Removed is a story that gives the reader everything from love, terror, romance, and mystery. Touching base with a young Phoebe's feelings as a teen on her own the reader gets a glimpse into the world of runaways. Coupled with murder and a growing relationship between Lainey and Brett this story will touch the heart of any who read it.

This is an intriguing beginning to a new series that’s filled with a lot to keep you enthralled from start to finish. The characters are thoroughly engaging, and the storyline has enough emotional drama and suspenseful twists, combined with heartwarming moments and just the right touches of passion to hold your interest throughout. You will become invested in the lives of the MC’s, easily sharing their moments of doubt and heartache as well as those of tenderness and joy. It’s a fast-paced tale that will have you turning pages until the very happy ending. I believe you’ll find this to be a very enjoyable and entertaining start to what is sure to be a wonderfully romantic and suspenseful series!
