The first story is Shadow Protector by Jenna Ryan, Sera is the last survivor of the Blindfold Killer and she's in hiding in a small town, Blue Ridge, where one of the detectives in the case decided she would be safe, hiding her with a friend of his, a man he trusts. Logan has settled in this small town, running from some of his demons and his past. The two of them have their issues and maybe they might find a kindred spirit, if they can stay alive.

It's quite entertaining, I loved the interaction between the townsfolk and the couple and the thriller aspects were well drawn. I'd read more by this author.

His Case, Her Baby by Carla Cassidy is the first book in the Lawmen of Black Rock series, I've read some of the rest of these stories so some of what is going on in the story I do know what the consequences of will be, but the rest was interesting and I enjoyed it. Peyton's baby is missing, kidnapped by someone she thought she could trust. Sherrif Tom is on the case and he's finding that she's a distraction occasionally. Can he overcome his issues from the past to create a future with her? ( )
