I won't be following the series if it's the same narration ( )

The final in the trilogy. Charlene the middle child of the Lockwood family rescues Matt Rowan from going off the cliff. That starts a series of events in motion. The hear ye compound is still at their antics only things get deadly. Tess has an announcement. Kate is planning her wedding. A must read to find out what happens to all these fun characters.

I’d read Forbidden Ground, the second book in this series, and have to say that I enjoyed that one better than this third book in the trilogy. Matt and Char are likeable enough, and I like that characters from the prior books also have a small role. But for a romance to work for me, I have to feel what the female character is feeling; and I didn’t. We’re told that the two are immediately attracted, and the conversation between the two supports their interest and romance. But it just didn’t feel real.

Without that connection, the book just dragged and was a chore to get through. ( )

4 STARS

Good suspense! Lots of drama, action, romance , strong characters and a clean read on top of Fracking background.

This is the #3 in Cold Creek series and it ends things in a good way. I like all 3 of the Lockwoods sisters. They are smart, make a difference, quick thinking. They don't wait around to be rescued.

Charlene is the middle child. She is a social worker. Trying to get kids that don't go to school full time to school. She goes up into the mountains and tries to work with the families to let their kids go more often.

Matt Rowan is on his way to visit the family of one of his workers he was close to that was killed. He is hit by a truck and is close to going off the cliff. Charlene sees and works to save him using jump ropes tied together. Matt has no idea who would want him dead.

Matt and Charlene bond very fast. After Matt takes her out to dinner and back home someone tries to shoot them with a arrow but they moved apart at right moment. They are not sure who the target was.

Char and her two sisters visit with their cousin Grace at their cult compound and figures that they were spied on. They want to get their cousin and family out of the cult.

Char never know where she is going to spend the night. She just rented a cabin and then the arrow was shot and no one wants her to stay by herself while she might be in danger.

I was not sure who was doing what till they revealed themselves.

I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Harlequin. In return I agreed to give a honest review of Broken Bonds. ( )
