Snag Your Copy Pulling The Trigger (Kenner County Crime Unit, #6) Designed By Julie Miller Formatted As Paperback

is intense but the more you read the more exciting it becomes, Has some dark parts but it is all apart of the storyline, This is theth book that I have read in this series, I have really enjoyed the Kenner County Crime Unit series, Im looking forward to reading the next book,
Each book has had action, suspense, and romance, This however was a second chance romance, Joanna and Ethan were a couple as teens, Joanna was rapped, and the town sheriff didnt take her serious, and nothing was done, She left town, worked hard, and became an FBI agent, She was offered the chance to come back and interview the man that rapped her many years ago, her boss did not know she had been hurt by the suspect Ethan is also in law enforcement, There is no way he would allow Joanna to face her attacker alone, The guy went on the run, and Joanna, and Ethan worked as a team to find him, The was an excellent book, Im glad that Joanna was finally able, in a way, get justice for a crime that hurt her so badly,
Sixth book in Harlequin Intrigue's "Kenner County Crime Unit" multiauthor miniseries, And I have to say that I didn't find many redeeming qualities about this book, Plus it was the epitome of these kinds of series are so frustrating to read, The inconsistencies were horrendous.

Pulling the Trigger continues the overall story arc of the investigation into FBI agent Julie Grainger's murder, Authorities are closing people involved in Julie's death and have called in expert tracker Ethan Bia, and master interrogator Joanna Rhodes to question one of the suspects once he's found and captured.


Ethan and Joanna have a past, though, A love affair that was shattered by tragedy, Joanna has spent the last fifteen years of her life trying to get over it and take control of her life, And now she is back home where the only good memories she possess are of Ethan, The chemistry is still there between them, but Joanna is afraid to take the risk, And more importantly, they have a job to do, They have to find and question their suspect before it is too late,

This book was such a struggle to read, Right from the start it had me wanting to bang my head into a wall with all the wrong details and inconsistencies related to serieswide facts.
But we'll get to that, Because even ignoring those things, this book didn't appeal to me,

I didn't like the heroine at all, Sure she's a tragic heroine and those are generally easy to like, but Joanne was like a freakin' iceberg, So stiff and cold and unapproachable, It was hard to like someone so distant, And I never really felt like she warmed up, She was just a character that I didn't care about, Which made the romance very flat, I didn't feel the chemistry, didn't feel the love, I was just bored.

And the hero, . . well, yeah, I liked Ethan, He was a good guy,

but there was something off about the way the author wrote him, For one thing, I found it annoying that everyone called him "big guy", . . even to his face. That was like his nickname and it came off rather stupid to me, I got tired of all that 'how're you doing, big guy' and 'do you think you'll find him, big guy', Beside that, there was just something just kind of awkward about his character,

So those things were a turnoff on this book, but the big thing for me were the detail inconsistencies, They were endless. I swear the author must have barely conferred with her fellow authors in the series because so many details didn't match up, It was so damn distracting, I even started keeping a list to keep track up it all, I hadthings listed by the end of the book,

: saying one of the antagonists was not on the run when it was clearly said in the last book that he was,
: saying that it was not known if a certain antagonist was involved in the murder when the last book established he was,
: bringing up the issue of a leak in the police department and acting like it's been a big, known problem when it had never been mentioned before in the series.

: Bree and Patrick's son is named Peter, NOT Charlie!! major detail of book
: the leather necklace was NOT found with Julie's body, rather it was found by Aspen's abandoned car it was a big thing in book!
: Ethan is said to be a Search and Rescue leader and a consultant with the crime lab, yet booksaid he was a Special Agent with the FBI.

: stating that two certain antagonists killed Vincent Del Gardo when bookleads to a conclusion that a different antagonist was responsible
: talking about how two antagonists have left a trail of bodies when they actually haven't.
Other antagonists have been involved in those other deaths,
: Julie Grainger's body was NOT thrown in a river and found nearby, . . she was found among some boulders in a secluded mountain area!!! major serieswide detail!
: inaccurate representation of Miguel and Emma's bookrelationship, . . saying he was a skeptic about her visions when by the end of their book he fully believed in her,
: and lastly, a supporting character goes missing and may be dead, and not only does anyone barely react of show grief, but there's no mention at all of his pregnant, new wife.


so yeah, I don't know what happened with this book that so many things didn't matchup, The other books had some inconsistencies but nothing as bad as this, So many critical details were wrong that it threw off the whole setup of the book, Somewhere along the way, this author got her wires crossed, Which is frustrating and annoying and the very reason that these multiauthor series from Harlequin are often so lacking, It's hard to get into a series when the "facts" keep changing,

I'm hoping the next book will be better, It had been more than ten years since tracker Ethan Bia had seen the woman who'd loved him and left him with no explanation, FBI agent Joanna Rhodes was as beautiful and secretive as ever, but insisted on keeping their pastand their passionwhere it belonged, Ethan knew tracking an elusive killer through the mountains was their assignment, but his need for answers was as tempting as his urge to touch Joanna.
Unfortunately, resisting both was crucial to surviving this mission, A mission that would determine how long Joanna stuck around once it was over, Librarian Note: There is than one author in the GoodReads database with this name, sitelink See this thread for information, USA TODAY Bestselling author Julie Miller writes breathtaking romantic suspense, Shes won a National Readers Choice Award and two Daphne du Maurier Awards among other prizes, She was also honored to receive a Career Achievement Award from RT Books and has been a finalist for many national and international awards, Her books have appeared on the USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and BookScan TopRomances bestseller lists, Writing about Kansas City cops, Julie has crafted bestselling, award winning books for Harlequin Intrigue, In addition, Ms. Miller publishes romantic suspense books with a military twi Librarian Note: There is than one author in the GoodReads database with this name, sitelink See this thread for information, USA TODAY Bestselling author Julie Miller writes breathtaking romantic suspense, She's won a National Readers Choice Award and two Daphne du Maurier Awards among other prizes, She was also honored to receive a Career Achievement Award from RT Books and has been a finalist for many national and international awards, Her books have appeared on the USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, and BookScan TopRomances bestseller lists, Writing about Kansas City cops, Julie has crafted bestselling, award winning books for Harlequin Intrigue, In addition, Ms. Miller publishes romantic suspense books with a military twist, Millions of copies of her books have been sold in print and digital formats around the world, sitelink.
