Broslin Bride by Dana Marton (spotlight, excerpt, review and GIVEAWAY)

                                       

Broslin Bride (Gone and Done it)

From Amazon:

The worst time to be charged with murder is:

A, When you have no alibi for the night in question.

B, When you have no memory of the night in question.

C, When you told people you hated the victim.

D, When the detective is the 1st guy you ever slept with--which didn't end well.


Check all of the above for Luanne Mayfair. If it wasn't for bad luck, she wouldn't have any luck at all. Okay, maybe a little luck. As it turns out, Detective Chase Merritt doesn't hold grudges.


He still looks at Luanne just as he did in high school, except he's grown some serious 'hot cop' muscles--very distracting when Luanne is trying to avoid the very law Chase represents.


Is she the killer? Is she being framed? Is she the next victim? As Chase and Luanne race to find some answers, danger and heat ratchet up in this fast-paced romantic mystery that will stop your heart one second, then steal it in the next.

Broslin Bride Excerpt:

Luanne Mayfair might have killed her boss a little. Fine, a lot. Pretty much all the way. God, that sounded bad. But he was a sleazebag. Honest. The maids at the Mushroom Mile Motel that Earl Cosgrove managed often prayed for lightning to strike the lecherous bastard. Alas, God had seen fit to send Luanne instead.

Now you’ve gone and done it, she thought the morning after as she stood on the sidewalk in front of the fifties ranch home she rented in her hometown of Broslin, PA. She squinted against the early summer sun. Her red 1989 Mustang sitting by the curb had come from the used-car lot with its share of nicks and dents. But the damage to the front was new.

Gone and done it.

She’d done a horrible, terrible, despicable thing. Guilt and regret made her knees wobble. Whatever the punishment was, she deserved it.

Except, she couldn’t go to prison. She had her four-year-old twin sisters to take care of. She was Mia and Daisy’s sole guardian.

Luanne drew air in big, gulping breaths to wrestle down the shock and nausea. Get moving. One foot in front of the other. She couldn’t stand there and stare all morning. She had to find a way to get away with murder.

My review:

4.5 out of 5 stars

Broslin Bride (Gone and Done it) by Dana Marton is an exciting addition to the ‘Broslin Creek’ series and features Luanne Mayfair, determined guardian of her four-year-old twin sisters.  Trapped in a job with a slimy supervisor, Luanne’s fantasy of ridding herself of his presence becomes a nightmare that forces her to make unwise choices and puts her back into unwilling contact with a former lover, Detective Chase Merritt.  Torn between his duties and his attraction to the woman who once trashed his reputation, Chase must decide what the truth is and what he is willing to risk to obtain it.


This was a wonderful addition to an enjoyable romantic suspense series.  It is always impressive when an author is able to write each tale as a stand-alone story yet keep the continuity that connects the series and allows the reader to get glimpses of characters from other stories.  I always enjoy re-visiting Broslin Creek and found the twists and turns in this tale to be very entertaining although I cringed slightly at the history between the main characters.  Luanne’s young siblings are adorable and it was easy to fall in love with them and I love reading about the protective males that populate Broslin Creek.  This was a fun read and I anxiously await more stories of romance and danger from the very entertaining Ms. Marton!
