Mouse Is In The House - Lethal Risk by Jane Blythe @jblytheauthor #romanticsuspense

MY REVIEW

I have read many, many books by Jane Blythe and have never been disappointed, so adding Lethal Risk to that list was a no brainer. Chock full of romance and danger, I especially loved the addition of Lolly to the mix. I love how the tension and pacing are off and running from the beginning pages. Jane Blythe’s writing fits me so well, I zip through the pages on pins and needles, stopping for some romance now and then. After all, gotta smell those roses, right?

Jane Blythe has the ability to make me believe the characters are real, with her vivid, true to life descriptions. I guess that is why she is able to draw all the feels from me. I fear for the characters, laugh with the characters and they linger long after the book is finished. She approaches each novel with a fresh outlook, often avoiding the pitfalls of romantic suspense.

We begin with the attempted abduction of Asher’s (Mouse’s) daughter, Lolly. Could this have something to do with the organization that Storm Gallagher belonged to? Just because he is no longer a threat, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a bigger plan in motion.

Mouse had only taken his eyes off his daughter for a few seconds. There are people all around, but when he looks for her, she is nowhere to be seen. I think every parent can imagine his panic and desperation. When he sees Lolly with Phoebe Lynch, he doesn’t hesitate to take her down…and their story begins.

Phoebe feels she is being watched and Mouse, along with Prey Security are at her side. No one had any idea of who her psychopathic ex boyfriend really was, but as they learn more about it, the danger rises. His obsession makes Phoebe realize he will do anything to get her back, to make her into the person he believes she should be…for him. The only way out…death.

It’s a small world, and as everything comes together, the romance begins. And Lolly…sweet, precious Lolly. I looked forward to her dialogue that put a smile on my face. Her capacity for love is as big as her personality.

“Did you have someone to hold at night?” Lolly asked.
“No, sweetie.” Lolly’s brow furrowed. “I don’t want you to be alone. Come to my room.” Lolly jumped to her feet, took Phoebe’s hand, and pulled her along after her.
“I brought Baby Kitty,” she told Asher (Mouse), pulling the stuffed animal from her bag. Lolly had insisted that since she had Mrs. Fuzzy to keep her safe at night, Phoebe had to take Baby Kitty home with her to cuddle in bed.

Damn, this woman can write. She still surprises me, when I think it is no longer possible to surprise me, because I have read so many of her books. Her words and her characters speak to me, making a home in my heart. Her stories feel so real…and she has already set the hook for the next book in the series.

Oh man, it’s a cliffhanger, but the next book is available, so, thank you Jane, no waiting.

GOODREADS BLURB

He already lost one woman he loves he won’t lose another.

Phoebe Lynch doesn’t want to be her boyfriend’s punching bag any longer so she runs to the other side of the country to get away from him. Lying to her family about why she’s really there, all she wants to do is find the woman she used to be before she got beaten down and lost all her self esteem. What she doesn’t want is to fall for another alpha male. Especially one who could crush her battered heart.

When Asher “Mouse” Whitman’s daughter disappears from the park he assumes the strange woman he spots her with is the culprit. Instead he learns she saved Lolly’s life. Now all he wants to do is protect her and chase away the fear in her eyes. Convincing Phoebe to give him a chance won’t be easy especially with her abusive ex still sniffing around.

But her ex is far more dangerous than any of them realize and Mouse might wind up losing not just the woman he’s falling for but his daughter as well.
