King's Harbor Book 3
Georgette LaCombe fell for her Uncle Beau’s best friend as an awkward pre-teen when he rescued her from drowning during a family vacation. A recent law school grad, she’s back in King’s Harbor, with a crazy job description that’s going to just ruin her designer heels.
Nolan Rivers is fighting to save the family construction business, and the resort project on an uninhabited island will determine its survival or bankruptcy. He’s obtained every possible permit when a strangely familiar woman turns up shackled to his front loader, spouting some nonsense about an endangered species.
As Jett and Nolan fight their mutual attraction, she uncovers evidence that something more sinister is afoot than merely saving the Ram’s Head Lady’s Slipper. And that whoever is behind it—maybe her own brother—will stop at nothing to win.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: On the Level is a contemporary romantic suspense novel set on an island off Maine's central coast. It's a "sensual romance" with sexual situations between the characters, but very few graphic descriptions. The book contains a limited amount of light profanity.
Fans of Brenda Novak or Robyn Carr might enjoy the King's Harbor Series.
My Review:
I enjoyed this book. I loved seeing the connection between Jett and Nolan. There’s something so unbelievably sweet about the two of them together; overcoming all the obstacles that keep getting put in their paths. The off-the-wall mystery just didn’t quite work for me. In some ways it was too convoluted while also being too simple all at the same time. I wasn’t completely able to suspend my disbelief for long enough that I could comprehend how everyone involved missed the obvious while the villain was both so smart and so stupid. The ending is perfectly charming, and I think I’ve gone and fallen in love with all these characters. I’m going to have to go back and read the books that came before it as well as investigating what comes next. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.
