Fiction. Romance. Suspense. HTML:

For twenty-five years, multimillionaire businessman Ron Raven played the loving husband and father -- to two very different households. But when Ron disappears, his deception is revealed. Now both families are left with questions, while the man who holds the answers is...MISSING.

Megan Raven is desperate to save her mother's Wyoming ranch, used as collateral on a three-million-dollar loan -- money that disappeared with Ron. Worse, the loan is being called in by Georgia bank manager Adam Fairfax -- brother to Ron's other wife.

Brought together by their families' turmoil, Megan and Adam head south of the border in search of the missing millions. But what they find is a whole new web of lies, secrecy and greed.

Missing
1 Star

Ron Raven, a successful and respected businessman, is missing and presumed dead, but this is merely the tip of the iceberg because Ron is also a bigamist. Not only has he scammed his separate families for more than two decades, he has also conned his brother-in-law out of three million dollars. As the Raven and Fairfax families struggle to come to terms with Ron’s betrayal, his daughter, Megan, and brother-in-law, Adam Fairfax, must work together to locate the missing millions.

The suspense plot has such tremendous potential. Unfortunately, the writing is long-winded, repetitive and redundant - too much telling and not enough showing. By the time the villain and motive are revealed, it is difficult to care one way or the other.

The romance doesn’t fare much better as Megan and Adam have very little chemistry and don’t even meet until halfway through the book.

All in all, an excellent premise but the writing is so poor that I’ve no interest in continuing with the series. ( )

This is the first book in the Raven Trilogy. The book is about Ron Raven, a business man that travels a lot and has two families. When Ron goes missing, both families begin to search for reasons he has disappeared and why did he spend all of these years lying to both families. With two more books in this series (Suspect & Payback), there is a lot more to unravel. Missing starts the search and introduces us to one of Ron's children Megan from one marriage and Adam the brother of Ron's wife from the second marriage. I thought the book had good suspense, some romance, and a lot of questions left about the true story of what happened so I am looking forward to starting Book 2 Suspect and see where this story goes.

Just okay romantic thriller. The story is a bit convoluted but the main characters are quite engaging. ( )
