It had been more than ten years since tracker Ethan Bia had seen the woman who'd loved him and left him with no explanation. FBI agent Joanna Rhodes was as beautiful and secretive as ever, but insisted on keeping their past—and their passion—where it belonged. Ethan knew tracking an elusive killer through the mountains was their assignment, but his need for answers was as tempting as his urge to touch Joanna. Unfortunately, resisting both was crucial to surviving this mission. A mission that would determine how long Joanna stuck around once it was over….

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked this book
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018
I didn’t realise I had this book, so when I saw Julie Miller’s name I couldn’t resist. I liked this book, but I have to admit it wasn’t one of my favourites by her.

Joanna Rhodes is a Native American woman who left the reservation she grew up on after her alcoholic parents were killed in a car crash and she was raped by a family friend, who was never brought to justice because his uncle was the sheriff at the time.

She was in love with Ethan Bia, but his guilt at not being able to protect Joanna and her desperation to get away from the life she lived drove her off the reservation and eventually to DC, where she became an FBI agent. When she is asked to go back and interview a suspect helping a crime family based in Vegas and Joanna realises it’s her rapist, she agrees in the hope of getting closure from confronting him.

She isn’t prepared to encounter Ethan again, and the love that burned between them never really went away. It doesn’t take long before she’s in his arms again, even though her independence is something she clings desperately to. When the suspect she’s chasing flees after being tipped off by an insider in the sheriff’s department, Ethan and Joanna give chase. They eventually get their man – and each other.

You never do find out who the mole is, nor what happened to the FBI agent who disappeared halfway through the book, but I imagine that’s resolved in a later book.

I adored Ethan. He was patient, gentle, and strong when he needed to be. He didn’t rush Joanna, let her take the lead. I found Joanna harder to read, for reasons I can’t figure out. I’m not sure what it was about her, but something just didn’t work for me. Having said that, it was still a good book that I whipped through.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read. Suspenseful action/romance with sensitive emotional content
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013
Rating: 4.5 stars
Notes: Stand alone read. 6th book of Kenner County Crime Unit.
MY ADVICE, skip the last two books in the series, they are not worth the time.

A suspense filled action/romance which holds the reader's attention. The book has well developed characters, good dialogue, great descriptive imagery, and an exciting storyline.

THE STORY revolves around former sweethearts, Ethan Bia, local FBI consultant, and FBI Agent Joanna Rhodes, native daughter returning home after more than 10 years. Ethan is contracted to track and bring in, Sherman Watts, suspect in the murder of FBI Agent Julie Grainger, and Joanna, an FBI profiler, is tasked with getting him to talk during an interview. Unknown to everyone except Ethan, Sherman brutally raped Joanna after the death of her parents and was never prosecuted because Sherman's father was the local Sheriff at the time.

THE WRITING is crisp, the dialogue great, the descriptive imagery excellent, and the plot draws the reader in. The attention to detail is instrumental in setting the mood, however, it is well written back stories, and Ethan's and Joanna's interactions that drive the plot.

AUTHOR J. Miller has a TALENT for writing complex characters with believable emotional vulnerabilities. The revelation of Joanna's rape and betrayal by the justice system is handled with sensitivity and candor. The romance between Ethan and Joanna rebuilds slowly as they pursue and arrest the fugitive, which gives Joanna the chance to confront her past and put it behind her. What emerges are characters who find the maturity to accept the past, reconnect with life, and look to the future.

Books in the Kenner County Crime Unit series are, Secrets in Four Corners, Profile Durango, Snowed in with the Boss, Criminally Handsome, Collecting Evidence, Pulling the Trigger, She's Positive, and An Unexpected Clue. MY ADVICE, read the first six books in the series and skip the last two.

For books with complex characters and good storytelling try N. Bruhns, A. Stuart, L. L. Miller, R. C. Ryan, or L. Wilde (hot sex, but worst endings ever). For good mystery/criminal detective writers you might try J. D. Robb, D. Stabenow, M. Ferris, J. Evanovich, S. W. Albert, J. Miller or B.J Daniels.

This is the 6th book that I have read in this series. I have really enjoyed the ‘Kenner County Crime Unit series. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.
Each book has had action, suspense, and romance. This however was a second chance romance. Joanna and Ethan were a couple as teens. Joanna was rapped, and the town sheriff didn’t take her serious, and nothing was done. She left town, worked hard, and became an FBI agent. She was offered the chance to come back and interview the man that rapped her many years ago. (her boss did not know she had been hurt by the suspect) Ethan is also in law enforcement. There is no way he would allow Joanna to face her attacker alone. The guy went on the run, and Joanna, and Ethan worked as a team to find him. The was an excellent book. I’m glad that Joanna was finally able, in a way, get justice for a crime that hurt her so badly.
