CROSS HER HEART is
an amazing introduction to the new series by Melinda Leigh that is full of
twists and turns that will leave the reader on the edge of their seat right up
till the last page is turned. It is full of captivating characters, a mystery

will keep the reader glued to the pages. The story just flows smoothly and kept
me glued to the pages, wondering what would happen next. I didn’t know who the bad
guy was until almost to the end and was shocked by it. The twists and turns the
author throws in the story were perfect and had me hanging on the edge
wondering what would happen next.
Meet Philadelphia detective Bree Taggert. She left Grey’s
Hollow after her parent’s murder-suicide as a child and hasn’t been back in
years. Now with a desperate call from her sister Erin, Bree is back and
determined to find her sister’s killer. I love, love, love Bree. She’s strong, relatable,
and quite determined. Her vulnerabilities are mentioned several times and as
the reader gets to know more about Bree and her family, you can’t help but find
yourself sympathizing and rooting for them all. The characters are where the
author shines the most in my opinion. Ms. Leigh creates strong characters who
can stand on their own but also are able to accept a helping hand as well. They
are complex, multidimensional, and relatable. I found all the main players in
this first book of Bree’s series wonderful and unique in their own way.
CROSS HER HEART is a
perfect introduction to the new series by Melinda Leigh and captured my
interest right off the bat. I could not put this book down and can not wait for
book two to get here. I see a winner in her new series and look forward to
seeing where the author goes with this one. If you enjoyed past series like
Morgan Dane or her Widow’s Island series she co-writes with Kendra Elliott, then
you will definitely have to check CROSS HER HEART out and settle in, the
story will leave you breathless till the very end.
