Grave Danger: A Forced Proximity Police Romance

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I LOVE this book!! What a fantastic foundation to a new series by one of my favorite authors. It is written in my favorite dual POV formats. Getting that glimpse into the characters' thoughts during a scene really help me to better understand a character (hopefully in the way that the author wants.) Dr. Chloe Miles abandons Denver after an attempt on her life. A killer tried to stuff her into an old refrigerator just like what happened to a colleague of her's. Chloe is a cardiothoracic surgeon who changes her name and profession into a coroner in small Battle Mountain, CO by the name of Dr. Chloe Pascale. Weston Ford is the small town's police chief. He used to be a miner until the mine closed down. After his wife died 4 years ago, his father pressured him into apply for the position when the current chief had to retire for health issues. Weston is called out to the mine after a tip comes in of a dead body being found. He figures it is a hoax as there hasn't been any major crime in the town in forever. Sure enough, he discovers a dead body of a local woman in a shallowly buried refrigerator. Weston is not trained, he doesn't have a deputy so the only person he has his one woman staff call is the coroner, Dr. Chloe Pascale. The events and the trials and tribulations that the author puts these two characters through is just brilliant. This book is not easy to put down! I couldn't wait to see what would happen on the next page. The down-side, the book ended on me. I can't wait for the next book in this series! There is just some kissing here. Anything else was faded to black. This story could be read by anyone of any age.

I almost stopped reading with the subject matter hitting on some of my fears but this author captures your attention and I found myself fascinated by the characters, their interaction and the plot. So rather than putting this book down, I was on the last page quite satisfied before I knew it. A perfect suspense/romance that is delightfully done and well worth reading! I definitely will read more by this author. I could picture this story as a movie or series as well. Would be a really great edge of your seat tale. With the right cast it would be a winner

Grave Danger is a spectacular, sometimes hair-raising, romantic suspense by Nichole Severn. Ms. Severn has provided readers with a well-written book populated with a stellar cast of characters. Chole ran from her job after being attacked by the man that murdered a co-worker, and kept running until she found Battle Mountain. Weston is the police chief of Battle Mountain and needs the Chole, his new coroner's help in solving his first murder case. Weston and Chole's story is packed with drama, humor, suspense, spice and action. This book kept me glued to my e-reader from start to finish. I enjoyed every page and look forward to my next book by Nichole Severn. Grave Danger is book 1 of the Defenders of Battle Mountain Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
