After living with a controlling, manipulative, and abusive
husband, Chloe is desperate to escape. So much so that she
fakes her own death and takes on a new identity to escape
the hands of her husband, Felix.
Now living in Eden Falls, Chloe goes by the name of Amelia
Phillips and works as a nurse for Dr. Derek Colton's
practice. For awhile, Chloe is content. She feels as if
nothing can hurt her...until someone breaks into her home
and leaves disturbing items for her to find. It doesn't take
her long to discover that Felix has finally found her. She
knows that once Felix discovers that she is alive, he will
kill her for her deception.
Chloe turns to Dr. Derek Colton for help. Despite the fact
that he is her boss and she has only been in Eden Falls for
a short period of time, Derek and Chloe develop a strong
relationship. But can the doctor truly protect her from her
dark past?
Chloe is an admirable character. She shows so much
courage; first, when she leaves her abusive relationship and
later, as she does all she can to survive. Kennedy
does a great job of establishing a connection between Chloe
and Derek early on so that once problems arise, it seems
natural that Chloe would turn to Derek for help. I loved the
balance between the romance and the suspense. Kennedy was
right on target! What's even more impressive is the fact
that both Chloe and Derek have pasts that will affect the
way they pursue this spark between them. Chloe has survived
an abusive relationship while Derek is still mourning the
death of his wife, Tess. But despite the fact that both
parties have emotional baggage, Kennedy manages to slowly
develop trust, making their bond bloom and prosper even in
the dark times ahead.
Kennedy does a stellar job with Felix's character. I hated
Felix with a passion and the few pages from his POV only
made me despise him more. Kennedy was able to play with my
emotions, evoking sympathy for Chloe, lust for Derek and
hatred for Felix. Any author who can manipulate my emotions
so well deserves a standing ovation. Kennedy shined with
this book.
COLTON'S DEEP COVER is an entertaining, electrifying romance
starring two likable protagonists who are able to find love
even in the darkest of times.
Running from an abusive past, nurse Chloe Moreno arms
herself with a new identity and seeks an uncomplicated life
in Eden Falls. But her security in the once-peaceful
community is crumbling fast. Not only is there a kidnapper
on the loose, but it seems her worst nightmare has tracked
her down. She needs someone to trust...and no one fits the
bill better than Dr. Derek Colton.
Resident healer and protector, that's all Derek is expected
to be. A new relationship-especially with his beautiful,
vulnerable new nurse-is a risk he shouldn't take. Yet her
life's in his hands. And once desire puts her in his arms,
he must destroy the threat that's lingering far too close....
