Description
Investigative reporter Jillian Carter knows that it's time to put the past to rest. She's tired of looking over her shoulder, letting a killer go free. She's no longer the scared kid who changed her name and disappeared. Now, no matter what the cost, Jillian must do what she is trained to do: ferret out the truth and expose it. Senator Frank Hoffman committed murder ten years ago, and Jillian watched it happen-didn't she? Not even the enigmatic and attractive Colton Brady, her ex-boyfriend and nephew of the killer, will be able to make her leave this alone.

Jillian Carter left town ten years ago when she saw Senator Frank Hoffman commit murder. Now she's older and determined to return home and gain the evidence she needs to expose the truth of that night. Colton Brady has been looking for Jillian for the past 10 years. Now she's returned and she is as
Under the book description it says, "Get ready for the spine-tingling, nail-biting conclusion to an explosive series." I couldn't have said it better. I was looking forward to Jillian's story and what really happened that night. Jillian and Colton were great, very realistic characters. They each had a strong faith that just felt natural to me. I also liked Meg, who was very cute and made me smile more than once. The action was pretty much non-stop all the way through. There were times I couldn't read fast enough. The author did a wonderful job of bringing everything together at the end. In fact, I loved the ending which had a few unexpected twists that I really didn't anticipate. That's always a plus for me. This is a series that you definitely want to read in order. Each story has a conclusion but leaves you with an unsolved thread. When you read the books back to back it really reads like one big story. I liked that. If you enjoy romantic suspense, The Deadly Reunions Series is one you won't want to miss. Great characters, lots of suspense, sweet romance and, of course, explosions, gunshots and a few dead bodies make this a series you can't put down.

I didn't realize while reading When a Secret Kills that it is the third of a series. To me, that means it is a great stand-alone book. I never felt I was “missing something,” and I never thought that there were back-stories that needed to be explained. We do know at the beginning that the two
This is a good mystery with a light romance. The main characters are believable and likable even when the story is not quite as believable. Even though I had not read the previous books in this series, I felt I had a good idea of the personalities of the characters involved.
The story is a rather complex twisting tale that managed to hold my interest. There are more than enough suspects, and the story comes to a satisfying ending. This is my first Lynette Eason book, but it won’t be my last.

This is the conclusion of Deadly Reunion Series, and this book can stand alone, but it does wrap up the other two.

This is a story that depending on when you start can keep you up all night turning pages. When I was finished, and knew what happens, I still wanted more! If you like suspense this one has it all, and you won't be disappointed, you will think it is all figured out, when wham...you don't!
Don't miss this one, and do yourself a favor and read the other two, you won't be disappointed.

I got hooked on this book rather quickly, but after awhile I realized it wasn't as good as it originally appeared. This is the kind of book that makes me feel like anyone can write a book and get it published. The story is trite, somewhat suspenseful, with cardboard characters. At one point the

So, we finally get to meet Jillian Carter and find out what she's been hiding for 10 years. Several things, apparently. And what was in the packet wasn't what I thought it would be.

I did know prior to this book that Frank Hoffman was somehow involved.
I did suspect Ian at one point, but I didn't suspect the others who ended up involved.
I did realize what Frank's wife intended to do at the hospital before it was revealed, but I thought she was doing it for a different reason than what she later revealed.
I don't think Colton's reaction to learning about Meg is very realistic. He seems to get over the shock of learning he has a daughter who's almost 10 and the anger at Jillian for not telling him rather quickly.
