BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In Solitude, Oregon, everyone has secrets…and some will kill to keep them.
When she believes a teen is falsely accused of drug dealing, social worker Carly Taylor takes on a high-risk case and her estranged husband—the detective in charge of the investigation—to prove the boy innocent. A deadly new designer drug has taken hold of her small rural hometown of Solitude, Oregon, and Carly is determined to find the real dealer and clear the teen’s name. But the deeper she digs into the case, the more danger she unearths, until someone decides it’s time for Carly to move on…permanently.
Investigator Seth Harding knows he can’t stop his wife when she has a child to protect. But he risks any chance of reconciliation with Carly if he can’t learn to accept her dangerous job. When a drug dealer decides Carly is getting too close, will Seth lose her altogether?
A pulse-pounding Rogue River novella, Gone to Her Grave is the second exciting addition to the new romantic suspense series from Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot.
REVIEW:
This is the second book in this novella series by Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot. I was pulled into this series with book one and was super excited about the next installment. Melinda did not disappoint. These stories take place in the town of Solitude – which for a small town has a lot of bad asshole people in it. This story line focused on Carly and Seth who are a married couple that is currently separated. I wish I got to see a little more interaction between the two of them. We haven’t seen them as a couple yet and I want a little more history between them so I could understand their current situation fully. That said, we get bits and pieces on their situation and the problems they face. I’m really rooting for them and hope that they find a way beyond their demons. Carly is a strong female character, a bit stubborn but proud and capable. Seth is a manly man who is struggling with his wife’s aspirations, but he’s lovable. This story was fast paced and added a new layer into this town of secrets. I’m very excited for book 3!
