Suspicious Circumstances by Rita Herron

Suspicious Circumstances by Rita Herron
Genres: Romantic Suspense

The fire that killed his father

Also devastated her life.

Searching for anyone who might have information about the hospital fire that killed his father, special agent Liam Maverick asks nurse Peyton Weiss for help in his hunt for answers. But someone doesn’t want Peyton to share what she knows. As the threats against her escalate to attempted murder, Peyton realizes she has no choice but to work with Liam to catch the arsonist. With both of them risking everything for the truth, it becomes a daily struggle to stay alive—and to ignore the sparks flying between them that are hot enough to ignite.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Even though this book is part of a series I had no problem beginning with this one. On top of that I love me a good Rita Herron book. She never disappoints.

Years earlier Peyton was present at a fire that killed Liam’s father. Now Peyton is working as a nurse in a home taking care of her mother. Liam is a federal agent and determined to solve his father’s murder. Peyton was present at the fire but doesn’t want to discuss it much less think about it.

Liam knows she is hiding something but the question is what? While Liam is of course suspicious of Peyton at first he is a good guy who has great instincts. Those instincts tell him that while she knows something she is not involved in the fire, other than being present.

They grow closer and there is a point where Liam needs some pushing from his three brothers to see what’s in front of him. All in all this was a great read. I enjoyed it so much! The suspense was awesome and I will say I didn’t see what happened coming.

About Rita Herron

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Rita Herron fell in love with books at the ripe age of eight when she read her first Trixie Belden mystery. But she didn’t think real people grew up to be writers, so she became a teacher instead. Now she writes so she doesn’t have to get a real job.
With over ninety books to her credit, she’s penned romantic suspense, romantic comedy and YA novels, but she especially likes writing dark romantic suspense and crime fiction set in small southern towns.

Jess
My life is pretty perfect—on paper. I had a string of platinum albums and number one songs all before I hit my twenty-fourth birthday. I’ve got fame and more money than I’ll ever be able to spend. What they say about fame is true: it's lonely up here at the top. The clichés I sing about are true too: all I want is someone who sees the real me and loves me despite all the drama. Then I meet a guy who seems to step right out of my fantasies—grumpy, husky single-dad cowboy—but he won’t even give me the time of day.

Grady

Nothing in my life has ever gone the way I planned. I unexpectedly became a father at seventeen. Before my daughter turned two her mom walked out on us both. The last thing I need is some glitter-soaked pop princess filming a music video on my land and putting stars in my daughter’s eyes. Everything I do, I do for my kid, but Jess makes me want something for myself. Can I risk another woman breaking our hearts?

Canyon “Blitz” Madsen didn’t believe in mercy. When the Redline Kings MC secretary learned one of his prospects was an undercover fed, he planned to seduce the agent’s innocent younger sister as revenge. But he ultimately decided it was a line he wouldn’t cross. 

Then he met Aubrey Cullen and knew leaving her alone wasn’t an option. One look at the sweet nanny, and Blitz was gone. Now caught between the secret that could destroy them and the fierce need to protect her, he’ll do anything to keep Aubrey safe—even working with the FBI brother he once wanted to destroy.

Soren “Rev” Halvorsen never lost control. Then a terrified blonde crashed into his bike on a dark road, and the Redline Kings captain decided she was his.
