Night Thunder

I can never put Jill Gregory's books down. I love all of her books.

Description from back of book: Josy Warner has to get out of town--fast. A favor for a friend has plunged her into deadly danger--and sent the topflight fashion designer fleeing New York to a place where no one knows her name. The tiny Wyoming town of Thunder Creek may be more than the answer to a prayer. It could hold the key to her past...and the only family she has left in the world. The last thing she expects is to fall for a rugged man of the land--a handsome widowed sheriff who calls to the wild places in her own heart. Josy Warner's arrival in Thunder Creek has set tongues wagging and ranchers vying for her attention. But if there's one thing Ty Barclay knows, it's a woman in trouble. As his attraction to the secretive beauty deepens into fierce desire, Ty vows to keep Josy safe at all costs...even when the dangers of his job bring a killer after them. Now, with perilous night crashing around them, Ty and Josy are fighting for their lives--and a love that can lead to the most glorious future of all: forever in each other's arms. * Book #1 in this series, Thunder Creek, was amazing. I gave it a 5 star rating. This book although I only gave it a 4 star, it was almost as great as the first. The chemistry & romance wasn't as deep and for the most part it was more of a mystery than the relationship between Josy & Ty. The mystery part was really good though. I usually figure out everything but I kept being surprised by who was who. I highly recommend this 3 book series.

New York City fashion designer Josy Warner struggles with her current assignment as nothing creative seems to come to her mind. Josy, an orphan whose parents died when she was a child, wonders if the news that she has a living grandmother Ada Scott nee Timmons in Thunder Creek, Wyoming has impacted her concentration. Her best friend Ricky Sabatini, a cop under internal affairs investigation for being dirty, sends a package that exonerates him to Josy to deliver to a third party in Brooklyn. However, when she arrives at the delivery destination, Josy finds her contact murdered and she fleeing for her life. She decides it is time to meet her grandmother.While hiding in Thunder Creek awaiting an email in code from Ricky, Josy hesitates about introducing herself to Ada though she wants to know why her grandmother gave up her daughter up for adoption. She also finds herself attracted to local sheriff Ty Barclay, a former Philly cop still mourning the death of his wife, who feels guilty that he reciprocates her feelings. As Ty and Josy fall in love, her New York roots place her in danger in Wyoming with only a small town sheriff to keep her safe.The return to Thunder Creek will elate fans as Ada meets her granddaughter in a four-tissue box gathering inside of a fabulous police procedural romantic suspense. The action-packed tale never slows down even when Josy debates whether she should approach Ada or not. The cast is solid so that the audience receives a strong angst-laden subplot intermingled with a thundering thriller that never slows down until the climax. Jill Gregory provides readers with a fabulous New York-Wyoming connection.Harriet Klausner
