Without a Trace

HOLY SMOKES Did Nicole Edwards deliver with this one!! Wow!! I really wish I could give this book more than 5 stars, because it was THAT good. Mission: Without a Trace revolves around the first case of the group, now known as The Governor's Task Force, involving a six-year old missing person's case, and this missing person is not just anyone, she is the friend of the Governor's daughter. Mission: Without a Trace is an exciting and mysterious romantic suspense that you will not be able to put down once you start it. Nicole Edward's storytelling skills keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout this one. Not only do you want to solve the mystery, but you also want to see just how Reese and Brantley's relationship progresses. Let me just say, I love that Nicole Edwards was willing to go there with Reese and all of his indecision, nervousness, and confusion about his feelings for Brantley. And the way in which Brantley dealt with Reese's feelings will only make you love Brantley Walker all the more. Brantley was extremely understanding, caring, and very patient with Reese while Reese came to terms with being in love with him. Honestly, the chemistry between these two is off the charts. Nicole Edwards promised that there would be no cliffhangers even though the series continues to follow Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis and their developing relationship, and boy, oh boy, did she deliver. So, yes, despite being a continuing saga in Brantley and Reese's blossoming relationship all mysteries are solved, and this one was a big one. Although Mission: Without a Trace is a complete story, it is best enjoyed by having read Mission: All In first, so that you can fully understand the development of the character, and see just how these guys and girl became known The Governor's Task Force. Once again, with Mission: Without a Trace, Nicole Edwards has delivered yet another engrossing read, and I truly am hoping that there will be more stories in this series. Oh, and yes, there are plenty of appearance by some of our favorite characters from her other series.

5 Star Review Mission: Without A Trace (Brantley Walker: Off The Books #2) by Nicole Edwards The second book in the latest series from Nicole Edwards and I simply could not put it down. I am so loving the direction she is going with this series; from the first to the last chapter, I was hooked. This is Brantley Walker and Reese Tavoularis’s first official “Off The Books Task Force” case and it was a gripping read. Not only are they finding their way professionally, but they are in new territory personally as Reese struggles to come to terms with his attraction for Brantley. As I have come to expect from a Nicole Edward’s book, particularly her MM stories, it was smoking hot, add in the suspense and I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of the book. You cannot help but become invested as Ms. Edwards wove so many twists and turns into the story. Will the ease that they work so well together flow over to their private relationship or will Reese decide that he cannot commit to Brantley? You could feel the emotions as Reese continues on his journey of self discovery.

Book 2 in the Brantley Walker: Off the books series and once again this was book I couldn’t put down, I’m loving everything about this series, the new characters, the cameo appearances from old favourites but I guess most importantly I love the suspense that’s a big part of these stories. This book picks up and follows the continued growth of Brantley and Reese‘S relationship as well as giving us the first mission for the newly formed task force. Reese and Brantley find themselves exploring their new feelings and their relationship whilst working together 24/7, not the ideal situation for something new so will the obstacles they need to overcome in their love life as well as their working day be just to much, will they be pushed apart or will they be thrown together....... This book ticked all my boxes, it has the perfect mix of love and suspense and as always it’s hot and steamy down in Coyote Ridge and I’m not just talking about the weather, this series is shaping up to be one that will be read and re read and I can’t wait to see where we go with book 3.
