This is my first book by this author, I loved it from beginning to end. It is a well developed story that took me back to a time where races were at odds.

Years later a crime reporter wants to get to the bottle of this murder and learn the truth. Will they find justice for Leah? Two families, racial odds, and one senseless murder.

Hit and RunHit and Run by Diane Hester
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a suspense-thriller that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I was pulled in right from the beginning and kept engaged to the end. This is a well developed story that has twists and turns that kept me turning pages just waiting to see what would happen next. The characters made the story feel real to me. I had no problem connecting to them. Raina was driving alone on a dark wooded road when a man came out of the woods and she hit him. He forces her to drive at gunpoint but gets out and goes back to the woods. The problem is that he left something behind in her backseat. How far will someone go to get this thing? Her world is turned upside down from here and I had a hard time putting the book down. This is a really good book that I highly recommend.

This is the fourth book in this series but can be read as a standalone. This is my favorite yet by this author. It is a well developed story that I had no problem picturing myself in. I also found connecting to the characters easy and fell in love with them. Brittany is struggling with no job, job and certainly no romance. Brooks is a one night type of guy. They had a one night stand but is it enough for them? I loved their attraction to each other and their chemistry is off the charts. What will fate have in store for them? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with them and if one night is just that one night.
