Mountain Fugitive by Lynette Eason is a tense, suspenseful romantic suspense story.
Dr. Katherine Gilroy was a tactical medic with a SWAT team in Atlanta but now lives above the medical clinic where she works. While she was out riding with her friend Isabelle McGee they heard gunshots. Isabelle went to get help while Katherine went forward to see what she could do to help. Katherine saw two bodies outfitted in US Marshall coats on the ground just beyond the tree line. One man was dead and the other she helped escape into the trees as more bullets pinged around them. That’s how Katherine first met Dominick O’Ryan. After they were rescued Katherine offered to keep an eye on Dominick who suffered a slight concussion. Even during some dangerous situations Katherine found herself falling more and more for Dominick.
US Marshal Dominick O’Ryan had the man he was guarding run away from the safe house the US Marshals provided. The runaway was a witness the marshals were guarding as the witness’ testimony guaranteed an organized crime boss would spend many years in prison. Dominick was grateful for Katherine’s assistance and offer of caring for him. Tensions rose between them though when Katherine discovered that Dominick’s missing witness, the man suspected of shooting and killing Dominick’s partner in cold blood, was none other that Katherine’s twenty-year old brother. Katherine was sure her brother, Noah Bennett, wasn’t a murderer. Dominick chose to listen to Katherine and agreed to hear Noah’s side of the story. If only they could find him.
I was hooked from the very beginning with shots fired. The trust that developed between the two main characters, Katherine and Dominick, was built up just right. The danger they faced together strengthened their trust and their relationship. I also really liked the addition of the dog, Buddy who ended up being very protective. The conflict was spelled out quite well and I was happy with the resolution.
