DANGER IN DEER RIDGE is the first book I've read by Terry
Odell and it
won't be my last! I was drawn into the story, intrigued by
the characters and the plot and the base location is
Colorado. Apparently, Terry Odell knows much of Colorado
for she moved there with her family. Both the beauty,
scenery and wildlife gave her inspiration to write and I'm
happy she did.
Elizabeth Parker and her son Will are surrounded by danger,
after escaping abuse from her husband Victor. Victor has
no heart and could care less, if he ever set eyes on
Elizabeth and his son Will. But, when Elizabeth left, she
took something very important from Victor and he wants it
back. He will go to great lengths to get it back but
Elizabeth and Will establish new identities and new lives
in rural Colorado.
Mark Grinciewicz, Grinch to his friends and associates at
Blacktorne, Inc. Grinch's ex-wife and her husband were
killed in a car accident, and he now has custody of his son
Dylan, 5 years old. Grinch has not seen his son since he
was a baby and is not experienced at all as a new dad, but
he vows to help his son adjust to a new life. He semi-
retires from Blackthorne to care for Dylan, but is soon
called upon to take a small assignment, he reluctantly
accepts the job. He must teach a woman how to fit into the
community under her new identity, but soon both Grinch and
Elizabeth fall in love and their sons become close as
brothers. But Elizabeth and Will's lives are serious
danger and Grinch and his friends from Blackthorne must
keep them from getting killed.
It was quite the adventure traveling with Elizabeth who was
abused both physically and mentally. She became paranoid,
scared for her son's life and her own. She was afraid to
trust anyone, that's including Grinch. But as time passes
and love and trust take over between them, she becomes
stronger.
I love how Elizabeth transformed from the meek abused young
woman she was to the strong woman she made of herself. To
stand up to her husband for once in her life. DANGER IN
DEER RIDGE is a great read.
Another adventure with the covert ops team of Blackthorne,
Inc. What do you do when your life turns upside down?
Whatever it takes. When Elizabeth Parker arrives in Deer
Ridge with her eight-year-old son, she's constantly looking
over her shoulder, afraid her husband won't believe she's
dead, despite the new identity provided by the high-end
firm
of Blackthorne, Inc. Within hours of her arrival, a man
shows up claiming he's there to hook up her gas line. When
he keeps turning up, she's wary as to his motives. For
Elizabeth, trust doesn't come easy. She'll never let her
husband lay a hand on her son, no matter what, and if this
man is working for her husband, she wants no part of him.
Mark Grinciewicz, Grinch to everyone who knows him, was
Blackthorne, Incorporated's top pilot.
When his ex-wife dies, he is left with custody of a
five-year-old son he hardly knows, and everything changes.
Determined to do what it takes to help his son adjust to a
new life, Grinch finds himself tethered to the ground,
unable to do what he loves—fly. When he gets a call from
Blackthorne, requesting that he take a simple
assignment—teach a woman how to fit into the community
under
her new identity—he reluctantly accepts the task. Bad
enough
he's not supposed to let on he's aware of her identity, or
that he's on her side. But what he doesn't know is that she
has something her husband needs, and the man will do just
about anything to get it back. Suddenly, everyone is a
potential threat. Can Grinch break through her defenses and
earn her trust in time to save her without endangering her
son or his?
