Smoky Lake by Jennifer Bernard

 💖💖💖💖💖/5



Smoky Lake by Jennifer Bernard, book three in her Firelight Ridge series, was an amazing romantic suspense, filled with charm, intrigue, and twists and turns that kept me engaged and guessing right up to the very end. This is Doctor Ani Devi and Gil McGowan’s story. All of Ani’s friends are currently living in Firelight Ridge and at the end of Fire Peak, she stayed to help assist with the medical care of some residents.

 

Ani has been through so much in her life, a racist attack when she was younger to now with her marriage ending in a divorce she isn't sure of the direction of her life; return to Indiana to practice pediatric medicine or is there something else waiting for her. Recently on a flight back to see her friends in Firelight Ridge, she bumps into an ill rambling man; a simple action that sets a chain of events into motion that Ani never saw coming. This man, Victor, told her to trust no one other than a man named Gil. She thought the encounter odd and forgot about it, until the military showed up at her door asking questions. Gil McGowan is also temporarily living in Firelight Ridge; on leave from his government position and staying with his twin brother, Lachlan. When Ani comes to his brother's remote home in search of him, he can't help question what she could possibly need from him. Gil sees Ani, really sees her from the moment they meet. He is a strong and resourceful man, who watches over and protects Ani as if she is his world. Together, Ani and Gil are on a quest to understand what Victor was involved in since the government and many others want to talk to him. Ani and Gil are on a roller coaster ride as they try to figure out the mystery virus that is infecting the people of Firelight Ridge and could be used for biowarfare.

 

Smoky Lake was a fun and exciting journey that was full of passion, adventure, heart pounding mystery and excitement. One minute you are at the edge of your seat because Ani and Gil are up against mercenaries to the next when you are holding your breath with their flirty words and heated looks to the comedy of John, Ani's ex-husband's encounter with Gil. With numerous twists and turns I was unable to put the book down and now I can’t wait to read Lila’s story and see what is in store for her.
