Jubilee, Kentucky series #3. Contemporary romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone. Some characters from the prior books show up but you don’t need to know them to appreciate this story.
Amalie Lincoln moved to Jubilee, Kentucky after recovering from a car accident. She felt pulled to the small town and mountains after a visit and is opening an Accounting business there. One of her first tasks is to get her computers securely set up. She hires Sean Pope, finding out that he is the hero that saved her from bullies when they were in the third grade together in a different state. No one had ever stood up for her before or after that event and she’s so happy to reconnect with him.
Sean Pope can’t believe that Amalie is back in his life. He’s extremely happy she’s moved to town and soon realizes that Amalie is a bit like his elderly relative with a touch of knowing things.
On the day Amalie moves to Jubilee, a helicopter explodes over the local school and investigators are soon asking questions around the area. She suddenly in the cross hairs of the investigation since she say the explosion and was able to describe it well enough for the police to realize it had to be a bomb.
Coincidence, fate or something else? Amalie feels immediately at home in Jubilee and both the residents and Sean’s family make her feel welcome. But that she saw the helicopter explode and soon finds out she had a direct connection to a person onboard is quite unusual. It’s possible the killer is now after Amelia. Fortunately Sean’s family has the police department covered.
Twists, surprises and connections abound and the mystery unravels with surprises along the way. A little bit of the psychics of past lives and souls meeting again are unconsciously being exposed by Amalie. Sean and his family are very comfortable with that type of thing from generations of his family living in the mountains and surrounding area as well as a touch of it within the family.
Intriguing, with a seemingly destined romance, and found family. An absorbing read that caused a few chills and satisfaction in a happy romance and reunion, as well as a killer brought to justice.
I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I also purchased an audiobook copy to reread it in the future.
