Her Last Goodbye (Morgan Dane #2) by Melinda Leigh

Her Last Goodbye by Melinda Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chelsea Clark was a loving young mother to two beautiful children that were her entire world so when Chelsea went missing it was obvious something was terribly wrong. The police were focusing their investigation on Chelsea’s husband leaving him to worry that whoever was truly responsible was going to get away with it and every second that passed was another with Chelsea in danger so her husband decided to hire his own help to investigate the case.

Morgan Dane is a single mother of three herself but also a lawyer that is used to finding out if her clients are innocent so when approached to investigate Chelsea’s case she felt compelled to help find the missing mother. Teaming up again with ex-cop turned private investigator Lance Kruger the two find themselves getting closer personally while they put themselves in danger to find out the truth of just what had happened to Chelsea.

Her Last Goodbye is the second book in the Morgan Dane series by Melinda Leigh. The story is a romantic suspense read that changes the point of view all throughout but centers around Morgan who had returned to her hometown with her three young children after the devastating loss of her husband in the military. Now she’s trying to balance a career and her family while exploring a possible new relationship with Lance who she’s found herself working with on another case.

This series is apparently a spin off from another series but I never found myself lost from not having read other books by this author and felt the story was built rather well without having read other background from the other series. Each book has it’s own case so if necessary they could be understood reading out of order or as a standalone but I’d encourage readers to start at the beginning to get to know these great characters as both have been great books. The author has done a wonderful job focusing on the intensity of the story but also slowly building the romance in the background. I will certainly be looking forward to any more reads featuring Morgan as she’s a great strong character that I’ve come to enjoy.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
