Always Look Twice (Uncommon Justice Book #2)

Always Look Twice Uncommon Justice #2 By Elizabeth Goddard Harper Reynolds has returned to the place she used to come home. The place that shattered her family and her life. She is trying to heal from the past but the peace she was expecting to find while capturing the beauty of the Bridger-Teton Nation Forest near Grayback, Wyoming, is shattered when her camera captures something else. Heath McKade has recovered physically from the gunshot wound he received less than a year ago, mentally he is still dealing with the betrayal. While taking his ranch guests on a guided trail ride and hike to a wilderness camp he hears something. The something that he searches for leads him to Harper - the friend from childhood he hasn't seen since her mother suddenly moved them away. But Harper needs his help after an injury from a tumble - a tumble that was the result of witnessing a murder. Harper is determined to not run this time. This time she will see justice done for the young woman she saw hunted down. This time she would be the witness that she couldn't be for her father. This time justice will prevail. There is just one problem the local sheriff's office can't find any evidence to support Harper's claims and her own evidence - her camera was lost during her fall. Unfortunately for Harper, the killer saw her and now not only is her life in danger so too are the lives of those around her. And this killer won't let anyone get in the way of his plans. Always Look Twice is the second book in the Uncommon Justice series and this time around the McKade brother that takes center stage is Heath who upon their father's death inherited the Emerald M Ranch. Heath and Harper are both hurting from the losses of their past - Harper her father and Heath his mother. This book is Contemporary Romantic Suspense and there are a lot of twists and turns that seemingly point to various persons who could be guilty. And the ending not what one might be expecting and it is a definite build to the climax. I received a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own. For those interested, the third McKade brother, Liam makes an appearance in this book and one can tell he has some issues that need to be dealt with. (Book 3 Don't Keep Silent is sure to provide the answers one is left with concerning Liam - June 2020)

Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard is the second book in the Uncommon Justice series and definitely worth reading if you love romantic suspense. Harper Reynolds has recently changed jobs due to the stress level, but when she accidentally witnesses a murder she flees the scene and seeks protection from local law enforcement. Heath McKade a childhood friend and a local reserve deputy is called on to protect Harper, but when the department can't seem to find evidence of the murder Harper and Heath are determined to do all they can to get some answers while falling in love. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more books in this wonderful series! I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

I knew from the get go that I would love this book after the first chapter! The characters are very realistic and everything I read felt like a movie scrolling along in my head! I was right there with them as the danger was happening around them, hoping they would get out alive! So, you can see, I was totally immersed in this book! All that happens is very believable so you aren't saying, "oh that wouldn't happen in real life!" which makes the book that much more enticing! I could feel Harper's fear and anxiety because she had a huge trauma as a child and as an adult she has come back to the place where it happened and through sheer coincidence, another trauma happens! Thankfully, also by coincidence, her childhood best friend, Heath, rescues her just in time and becomes embroiled in that trauma. Between the two of them, they now are living with a murder investigation, bombs going off, a killer following them and a sheriff who can't find a body! So many things happening that don't seem connected, yet.....are they? Come along for the ride and read this fantastic book!
