Synopsis:

Elements of Danger

 

Fire rains from above as they fight to discover the truth and stay alive.

In the shadow of a threatening volcano, long-haul trucker Kit Garrido wakes up in her crashed big rig, unable to recall what happened or why she’s suddenly in possession of someone’s baby. Fiercely independent, she has to admit that perhaps this time she could use a little help. As the threat of eruption grows, former cop Cullen Landry refuses to leave his cabin in the evacuation area, which is why he’s the only one left who can help Kit escape the crumpled cab of her truck. He doesn’t want to get tangled up in the mystery of the beautiful woman with an abandoned infant, but when he sees the bullet hole in the windshield and the bloody handprint on the interior, he realizes that he’s in this thing, like it or not. When two armed men with ill intent approach, the race is on to stay alive, discover the truth, and find the baby’s missing mother–all while a deadly mountain rains fire from above.

MY REVIEW

I love stories where nature plays a part in the struggle to survive. Never read one with a volcano though. Things were hot right from the get go.

Long haul truck driver Kit Garrido comes to after crashing her rig with no idea how it happened or why she has someone’s infant. Where is the child’s mother? Did the volcano’s impending eruption cause the crash? Why is there a bullet hole in her windshield? And who left the bloody hand print in her cab? She needs answers ASAP.

Cullen Landry, a former police office, is holed up in his cabin. No volcano is going to force him out. But, Kit and the baby, fondly tagged as Tot, will. How can he not help them. His instincts scream danger.

I loved all three of these characters. Kit was gutsy and capable of handling most things on her own, but she’s smart enough to know when she needs help. Cullen stands tall, a fierce protector who’s gruff exterior hides a soft heart. And Tot brings this out in both of them.

Yes, the threat of an erupting volcano made this an intense read. Not knowing what caused the wreck and if the bullet hole meant someone was after them did too. But what got me most of all was how powerful the characters were. How their emotions affected me. I don’t think I relaxed once. Not until the last page.
