Ratings and reviews

Starts off with sneaking bones onto Yaqui land, raising questions in my mind. Than when Joelene's ex, Sam (Border Patrol)past relationship comes out I thought, what a scum. This is not a fairy tale. I love that some of this can be pulled from real life in any relationship, the gray areas in life. Sam's sense of humor was great. The explanation of how what transpired in their relationship, why he was an ex came later in the book It helped me understand a little more, but apparently I like black and white. The intrigue in this book was most excellent. I have to say when we first meet Tucker the Trucker and he said his mumbo jumbo, I knew immediately what he was referring to. When that happens I always question why I could piece it together sooner than a cop. This was a satisfying conclusion to the the Holding The Line Series and I would recommend the complete series to anyone who likes strong women, dealing with situations in their life, any one who is familiar with Arizona, the border, and tunnels, because it sure rings true to me. The best HEA :) Thank you for the arc! I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

Although I'm sad this series has to end, this was a great story to end it with! Jolene and Sam were great characters and the story was a good one! Jolene and Sam were involved before but Jolene found out Sam had a previous relationship he had to return to so she broke it off and her heart was broken so she hasn't recovered from that. When he turns up in Arizona again as she's investigating on tribal land, she doesn't know what to think! Happy is not one of her feelings!!! Now that Sam is free from his previous relationship, he is happy to see Jolene again, even if she's not happy to see him! However, his investigation as a Border Agent regarding bodies buried in the desert take precedence. As they team up to investigate a casino that is being built on Yaqui land, there is danger everywhere! I loved the chemistry between the two of them and of course, the non-stop action! I can always count on that with any Carol Ericson book!
