About this audiobook

The gripping second installment of the Pelican Harbor series from USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble! Police Chief Jane Hardy has only just been reunited with her long-lost son when she learns of an impending terror attack that threatens everything she holds dear.

A lie changed her world. Police Chief Jane Hardy is still reeling from the scandal that rocked her small-town department just as she took over for her retired father—the man who wrecked her life with one little lie. Now she’s finally been reunited with her presumed-dead fifteen-year-old son, Will, and his father, documentarian Reid Dixon.

When a murder aboard the Gulf Coast oil platform Zeus exposes an environmental terrorist’s plot to flood Mobile Bay with crude oil, Jane and Reid must put their feelings for each other aside and work together to prevent the looming sabotage.

When the terrorist puts Will’s life on the line, protecting him could be the common ground Jane and Reid need . . . until ghosts from the past threaten to ruin their fragile relationship for good.

Jane has plenty of reasons to run. But what if she stays?

Ratings and reviews

Two Reasons to Run is a great addition to the Pelican Harbor series. It is book two in the series and I highly recommend that, for this series, each book be read in order, or you will miss out on important details regarding the backgrounds of the two main characters, Jane and Reid. Each book has its own mystery that must be solved and the plot in each book is wrapped up nicely, however, Jane and Reid's story is ongoing throughout the series. I am simply loving the Pelican Harbor books! I read the first book, One Little Lie, and I listened to the second book, Two Reasons to Run. The audio narration for Two Reasons to Run was very nicely done. There were slight variations in voice for certain characters to help the listener know who was speaking. This audio book definitely kept me listening, as I tried to figure out who the villain was! Will, the teenager in the story, frustrated me a bit in this plot. He just did not seem to "get" that he was in danger. I guess he had some growing up to do emotionally. He did eventually realize that the danger was real and ended up making some very good decisions. He was still a character that I really liked and I was happy with how everything resolved. I have loved the dynamic between Reid and Jane ever since book one. They continued to have wonderfully complicated emotions toward each other in this book. I am really looking forward to book three! I received a complimentary copy of this audio book. All opinions are my own.

This is book two in the Pelican Harbor series. When I started this book I did not realize it was book two, however I could tell quickly it must be part of a series, because I was lost. So, I stopped this book and started book one "One Little Lie", which cleared things up. Therefore in my opinion you really need to read these books in order, they are not a stand alone. Having said all that they are great suspenseful reads. I know I can not wait for book three. I loved Police Chief Jane Hardy, Reid Bechtol and Will. Their ups and downs and all the suspense and mystery in this novel. Colleen Coble always does such a tremendous job at keeping you interested and on the edge of your seat. I was given a completely audio book for my honest opinion.

another good book
