Don't Back Down by Sharon Sala - Suspenseful Second Chance

💖💖💖💖💖/5

Don't Back Down by Sharon Sala, book one in the Jubilee, Kentucky series, is a wonderful heartwarming and heartbreaking romantic suspense in a small Kentucky mountain town, where tight-laced clans abound, and outsiders are looked upon with suspicion. Army veteran Cameron Pope has come back to his small Kentucky town with his dog, Ghost. He quickly joins the manhunt for his young niece; kidnapped after his sister was assaulted in her home. When not saving the day, he has been pinning for a beautiful redhead he has not been able to forget after a one-night stand, years ago. Cameron has been approached by the FBI to help them stop a human trafficking ring, connected to his niece’s kidnapping. Rusty Caldwell, an FBI agent, has been assigned to help investigate the human trafficking ring in Jubilee, Kentucky; reunites with the soldier she never forgot. Seeing each other again ignites the lust/instant love they once shared. Working together, they need to put aside their intense feelings for each other and work to find the traffickers, before someone else is kidnapped.


Sharon Sala has a gift for entwining multiple characters and storylines while still keeping the main plot the center focus of the book. Somehow she is able to blend and connect all of the characters, provide a back-story and share enough information to know what's going on and where each character is coming from. Having the involvement of Cameron’s dog, Ghost, not only saves the day but adds an extra depth to the story. Throughout the story, I thought I knew who was behind the criminal group but Ms. Sala surprised me in being wrong, quite often. I highly recommend Don't Back Down to other readers and look forward to more stories in this series


I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
