Dangerous Witness (Redemption Harbor #3)
by Katie Reus
Blurb:
He
foolishly let her go…
When
the woman he loved walked out of his life, Brooks Alexander was certain she did
so willingly—with the cool two-million his father had offered as incentive to
walk away. So when he learns that Darcy didn’t take a dime of his father’s
payoff, Brooks realizes he made an epic mistake. He’s determined to make things
right and reclaim his woman. Except neither task is as easily accomplished as
he first thought.
Now
her life is in his hands…
Wedding
planner Darcy is no stranger to disappointment when it comes to the men in her
life. When Brooks accused her of taking his father’s bribe, she was devastated
that he thought so little of her—and realized he never knew her at all. So she
walked away with her pride intact and her heart broken. Now, months later, an
overheard conversation puts Darcy in the crosshairs of a dangerous criminal
with powerful connections. With nowhere else to turn, she has no choice but to
put all her trust in Redemption Harbor Consulting—and its cofounder, the man
who broke her heart.

Review:
Redemption
Harbor has never been a more important name for a town that in this story of a
man’s need to redeem himself for the worst mistake of his life. This series about a group of really
interesting individuals that have banded together to try to help those in need
continues to grab my attention and
remind me that there are really people out there in the world that care about
others enough to stick their necks out. The previous stories have been all
about the danger surrounding the characters bringing them together and the
intensity of their attraction coming from their situations, where this novel is
a complete one-eighty from that. Instead
Brooks has finally decided to go after the woman that he threw away in the worst
mistake of his life and finds that she is in danger in big way, but luckily he
can keep her safe. Darcy has been trying
to forget the man that broke her heart—and her trust—months earlier when he
destroyed their relationship, but when he suddenly reappears in her life she doesn’t
know how to handle it or him. Then
suddenly she finds herself embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a
deadly adversary and Brooks is the one she trusts to keep her safe, even though
she knows being close to him isn’t good for her heart or her sanity. Getting to see these two coming back
together, finding their way back to trust and discovering a way to work through
the very issues that tore them apart.
Brooks obviously knows that he made the biggest mistake he could ever
have made, but now he has no idea just how hard he will have to work to get
back the woman he loves, even though he knows he will do whatever it
takes. They never stopped loving one
another and their chemistry is undeniable, but the core of their story is truly
them finding a way to truly and deeply understand one another as well as
understand why they have made the decisions they have made in their lives. Getting to know Brooks more and see what
makes him tick, as well as watching him work through the issues with his Dad
and past, show us that he is really growing up and becoming the kind of man
grownup enough for a real relationship with Darcy. Darcy herself has a few things to work on as
well, which we get to watch and seeing her dealing with her own issues show us
that sometimes a woman can be just as screwed up as her man. I loved seeing them falling back into one another’s
arms just as much as I loved seeing them come to the realization that the love
they had for one another wasn’t anywhere near as deep or abiding as the love
that developed once they knew themselves and each other better. I am dying for Gage’s book since we all know
just who has captured his heart, and of course Leighton will be beyond sexy
when he meets the love of his life. Katie just can’t go wrong in my book no
matter what she writes, but this series has certainly kept my attention and
drawn my heart in from the beginning.
