Laurel Ridge is a special mountain town offering refuge and community, and it's delightful to return there with Someone to Watch Over Me by Lesa Henderson following Someone to Trust. This romantic suspense introduces a number of twists and turns that kept me flying through the pages!
Book Synopsis
After witnessing a violent crime, Catlin (Kit) McCormick is on the run. She’s determined to lie low, find family that’s unaware of her existence, and start fresh in the beautiful mountain town of Laurel Ridge. But disappearing is harder than she thought, especially when one of the first people she runs into is handsome U.S. Marshal, Cameron Grainger. There's no escaping the Marshal because he and Catlin are more closely connected than either realizes.
Cameron has trust issues and trouble of his own. He’s currently on leave and recovering from wounds suffered while on duty. Plus, his service in Afghanistan has left him emotionally scarred and doubting his own judgement. When the mysterious woman with hazel eyes and bruises on her neck collapses on the floor of his aunt's bed-and-breakfast, he's both intrigued and wary.
Will Catlin risk her identity being discovered and explore the overwhelming feelings she has for Cameron? Can Cameron trust his instincts enough to let down his guard and follow his heart?

Book Thoughts
I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to read Someone to Trust first as it made the journey back to Laurel Ridge even more anticipated with this book. Catlin and Cameron's story builds on Megan and Lee's story from the previous book, with wonderful connections that had me engrossed in the series. I loved seeing the transformation in Catlin from a woman who mistrusts everyone to a woman who flourishes and grows into her own authentic self by the end of the book. I also enjoyed meeting Cameron and seeing him use his gifts and connections to help a virtual stranger out.
The suspense in this book kept me from putting it down, leading me down a few trails in trying to figure out who was after who. Additionally, the author does a masterful job in answering the questions around how God can still turn evil into good, and how suffering can lead to perseverance and compassion. This series really brings readers full circle in terms of how redemption and restoration are explored. If you're looking for a romantic suspense that draws heavily on how God can bring about peace and healing after experiencing family pain and disappointment, Someone to Watch Over Me is a reminder that we are not alone.
