Paranormal Romance, and Suspense

 


Stella Harrison is trying to rebuild her life. She has purchased a beautiful resort on Sunrise Lake. With many friends in the community, she thinks she’s finally beaten the problem that haunted her childhood, but the nightmares have started again. Stella has a unique ability to see future murders taking place, but only with people she’s close to.


Sam, the handyman at the resort, is Stella’s protector and a major source of her support. Sam’s background is mysterious. He appears to have military training, but he doesn’t want to talk about the past. He’s comfortable being off the grid.


When the nightmares start again, Stella is driven to tell Sam. Together they try to decipher Stella’s dreams to discover which of her friends are in danger.


This is a reasonably fast paced romantic thriller with a large dollop of paranormal. However, it paranormal isn’t your thing, it’s not overpowering and the mystery is quite satisfying. I loved the descriptions of the lake both the scenery and the resort accommodations. I felt like I was there in a very special place.


Stella is a strong character. She is bedeviled by premonitions of murder, but she doesn’t run from it. She wants to find the killer before he or she can strike again. Sam is the perfect partner. He strong, quiet, and very attracted to Stella, but he’s not overbearing. I also loved Stella’s large dog, another protester. I recommend this book if you enjoy romantic suspense.


I received this book from Berkley Publishing for this review.
