"Fantastic Edge of Your Seat Suspense"
Victoria "Tori" LeFleur went to Bon Terre, Louisiana to
find out the truth about her life. After her father's
death, she found a deed to a house in Louisiana and a
marriage certificate with her mother's name and a Russell
Bishop. She wonder if her father, Claude LeFleur and
Russell Bishop are the same man since she has only known
her father since she was four years old. Tori has many
unanswered questions and decides to travel to Bon Terre to
find out the answers.
What she finds there, she finds unbelievable. The town of Bon Terre hasn't forgotten about the
double murder that occurred there 25 years ago or the
disappearance of the prime suspect and his young
daughter. Tori finds it unbelievable that everyone in
town is convinced that her father is the monster that they
say he is, but learning that she is that missing girl and
that her life has been one big lie, shatters Tori and she
doesn't know what to believe. But Tori becomes determined
to find out the truth.....but discovering the truth
doesn't prove to be easy. Tori is shocked when she meets
the very sexy and gorgeous Sheriff of Bon Terre, Ian
Montague, the man who also lives next door. On their first
meeting he informs her that he wants her gone from his
town as soon as possible. He doesn't want her messing
around in his town and disturbing the citizens by dredging
up painful memories for everyone, especially him. That
night Ian also lost his father along with Tori's mother
and it changed his life forever. But despite the fact
that Ian wants Tori to leave town, he can't help but keep
an eye on her when it appears that someone wants to punish
Tori for the alleged sins of her father. Ian stays close
to Tori's side to protect her from an unknown threat which
leads to the two of them fight against their sizzling and
undeniable attraction to one another. Can they find the
answers to questions that they may not like the answers
to? Can their love heal their wounded souls? I could read this book again immediately!!! THE
COP NEXT DOOR by Jenna Mills is spectacular. I love the
fantastic mystery and suspense in this book. Just when I
thought I had everything figured out, Ms. Mills threw in
an amazing twist, that had me reconsidering everything!!
The intense, heated and dynamo attraction between Ian and
Tori made my heart pick up and hold my breath with
anticipation that they would finally come together. I
couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Ms. Mills
masterfully writes fantastic suspense that has readers
guessing right to the end of the book. Ms. Mills brings
us such a fine, sexy emotionally wounded and intriguing
man. Ian is a dynamite hero who will have the readers
hooked as soon as they meet him. He had me excited, in
chills and enthralled when he said....."Sugar, I am the
police!" Tori is an amazing heroine who gives the sexy
Sheriff a run for his money. She is independent, smart and
the readers know that she will love Ian the way he
deserves to be loved. She was my kind of heroine that is
the perfect match for this hero. For me, Ms. Mills will
have to work hard to top this story. I have read other
fabulous books by Jenna Mills but for me she outdid
herself with THE COP NEXT DOOR. This book was fast-paced,
had dynamo characters and an edge of your seat
suspense.....that is my kind of book!
