Alison Taylor has a passion for protecting children. One child, Kyle, stays in her memory as she rescued him from a meth dealer, and rescued his mom from a sorry life. Now the mother and Kyle had a new, good life, and Alison is proud of her success.

When Alison’s brothers set her up with new detective, Mitch Morgan, the attraction is immediate on both sides. But Alison wants to take it slow, and Mitch is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her.

But—someone is making prank phone calls and leaving dead flowers on Alison’s doorstep. But then it becomes even more dangerous and deadly. The stalker will stop at nothing short of death…

DEADLY PURSUIT is the second book in Ms. Hannon’s Guardians of Justice series, but it easily stands alone. Readers will fall in love with Alison and Mitch, and cheer for them.

There is some graphic violence in this book that disturbed me greatly. And I felt that the passion between the two characters was more forced than natural. I also figured out who the bad guy was before he was even introduced as a character in the book. But, DEADLY PURSUIT held my interest from beginning to end. It is a don’t-put-me-down type book. 4.5 stars. $14.99. 320 pages.
