Holiday Amnesia

It's a delight to spend more time in Wrangler's Corner! The book is the seventh installment and I'm hoping it runs to at least a ten-book series! Emily is a scientist new to the Nashville area and Toby (brother to Zoe from earlier in the series) is ex-CIA and now working as a college professor. With a weaponized virus in the question and Robin as a witness to the exchange, she's on the run for her life, and somehow the bad guys keep catching up with her and shooting at her. But thanks to a head injury, she can't recall the identity of the buyer of the virus.

Toby's got a big job. Keeping Robin safe from her pursuers is no easy task, and they can't even stop to think without the killers catching up to them. They take refuge in Wrangler's Corner and Clay, Lance, and the rest are ready to help someone else stay alive. It was great to see how folks didn't stop to count the cost of their own lives when it came to protecting someone else.

The suspense is forefront, leaving the romance to the side a bit, which is exactly how I like it—just enough shown that we believe they would make a good couple. The bad guys almost surprised me—I had it narrowed down to three possibilities and, sure enough, it was one of the three. In all, a very good suspense and enjoyable read.
