In late 2014 I read a novella serial written by Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot called Rogue River. It was a four part serial where each writer wrote a novella. There was one overall story arc with two characters' point of view (two sisters). They are romantic suspense thrillers and I found myself really enjoying the books. While each author gave their character a distinct voice at times I would forget which author was writing as they were quite seamless.

In 2015, I was again offered to review two more novellas written by the same authors in the same town. This new two part serial is called Rogue Winter. I am not sure if there are more in this series or town but I am down to read them if they are!

★★★★

As Seth, a County Investigator, tries to get things right again with his estranged family, a murder in town threatens to ruin it all. First, the murder victim is a young mother who also happens to be dating his wife's youngest brother, Calling his brother-in-law, Bruce he discovers he is missing and is hoping he has not come to the same fate as his girlfriend. Although it is a sore subject with Seth and his wife, Carly, he calls her in to take control of the dead woman's young daughter. Soon the two find themselves trying to locate Bruce before the killer gets to them him and them.

I have had issues with Seth's hypocrisy of his wife's devotion to her job as he is just as passionate. However, I do enjoy them together and with their daughter. This one was predictable on the murderer yet I enjoyed the plot and suspense.
