Tangled Threat
Harlequin Intrigue Book 1875
by Heather Graham
Some things you can’t forget.
A body hanging from the infamous History Tree unraveled their teenage love. Now Maura Antrim is again tangled up with Brock McGovern. Twelve years later, they’re back where that murder occurred—where Brock had been arrested and then released, where Maura had run, too scared to stand by his side. But with two women missing, and Brock now an FBI agent, Maura is determined to help. Together, they’ll have to confront a threat that never died and see if their passion has withstood the test of time.
Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
Tangled Threat is a pretty quick read, which is about as good as it got for me. Had it not been, I'm not sure I would've persevered. There is suspense, but there is way too much repetition with things being gone over and over again as information is passed from one person to the next. Then we have what was supposed to be a second chance romance. I say supposed to be because I didn't see any chemistry between this couple. We're told that they're still crazy about each other, that their teenage love has never died, but I didn't see that between them. It felt like the romance was just thrown in there - Here's this mystery with some danger, and oh yeah, these two are in love - and we're just supposed to take that at face value. Don't tell me, show me, convince me that I should be rooting for this couple's happy ever after. I've read several of Heather Graham's books, and I don't know if I've changed or she has, but I just felt like something was missing here.
