Present Danger, an exciting start to a new series, kept me guessing as to who was behind all of the murder and mayhem going on. This story had a nice balance of investigation, action, and the possibility of romance.
I really liked that this was a second chance at love story. Jack and Terra definitely had a history. One that almost included a marriage proposal. And certainly one that ended in a broken heart for Terra and regret for Jack.
I enjoyed discovering the mystery of who was behind the moving of these artifacts and how everything was interconnected. I look forward to reading future books in this series.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue mission. He’s committed to finding the killer, even if it means working alongside his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors.
When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a deadly turn–one that hits too close to home. As Terra fears she lacks the courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect her. But he’s failed her before. And if he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts.
