My Personal Review for Continental Divide by Lisa Worrall & L.E. Harner

When I got to beta read this for the authors a few months before it was set to go live, I was blown away by it. The story. The characters. That simmering sexual tension between Remy and Jamie. *fans face* Get ready for one pulse pounding ride in Continental Divide.


My Rating for Continental Divide: 5 Stars and a Recommended Read



Detective Remington was thrust into the Missing Person unit as punishment from his Captain over a past case. But after looking into a case where six boys have gone missing, in different parts around Phoenix, Remy is determined to figure out what and who is causing this.

Inspector Jamie Mainwearing is deep in the case of six missing kids as well. Six kids-six months and he feels he is missing something. All were reported as runaways yet Jamie knew there was something wrong with this picture.

When Remy and Jamie are put on a secret task force and forced to go undercover, well sparks fly, passion blazes hotter than the sun and these two will have to figure out the case, their hearts and more before the danger behind these kidnappings comes knocking at their door.

The whole story as a whole is wonderful. Action packed, emotionally charged and oh my god, Remy and Jamie are to die for apart but when they are together on the pages, wow is all I can say. These two are smoldering apart but when they come together-pure combustion. These two authors created something so wonderful, compelling and delightful, I couldn’t tear myself away from it long enough to even go to sleep. I needed to see what would happen next for Remy, Jamie and the case they were working on. The writing flowed smoothly, the characters were very well defined and completely captured my heart and oh man, the sexual tension between these two, I was afraid my e-reader would explode from it all.

Remy is a detective, strong, tough yet he is broken inside. He refuses to get close to anyone yet the minute he meets Jamie....wow....all bets are off. Jamie is able to get under his skin, make his defenses crack open and the sparks that fly between these two *shakes fingers* smoking hot. Jamie was the opposite-spoiled rich boy determined to go against tradition and make his own way in the world. He grabs onto love and relationships with both hands and is determined that he will get a happily ever after...he just never anticipated Remy to drive him completely nuts. These two play off each other extremely well. The reader can get a sense of both men-inside and out-within the story and I couldn't get enough of them. The characters-event he bad guys-are well written, fairly brim with life and step off the pages and into your living room with ease. 

The subject matter is difficult to read (Child Sex Trafficking) yet the authors pull no punches in the story and show the evil it is in a way that had me flipping the pages just to see what happened next. The strength these two have together and apart while trying to chase down the bad guys, it made the story very real and I have to admit, has me reaching for it again.  I got to caution you, if you are looking for a HEA (happily ever after) type of story, you won’t find it here. There is a big cliffhanger at the end that had my jaw gaping open and then running to the authors’ websites hoping book two is coming out soon. 

I am eager to see what else these two come up with for my new favorite guys, Jamie and Remy. I urge you to run-don't walk to grab this one as fast as you can and make sure to block out a whole day to read it...I can guarantee that you won't want to put it down to find food, water or sleep.
