Life & Limb by Freya BarkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Murder at the Homeless Shelter
This book continues several months after the first in the series, and though it covers a different couple from the first book, a lot of the same people appear. This book focuses on the homeless shelter Rosie manages to get funded by the movie producer in the previous book. She’s been running it for a while and it has a lot of veterans staying there. They also run counselling sessions and the woman who runs them is Willa, who is also a veteran who served 8 years, working for Army Medical.
Jake’s honorary brother, Dimas meets Willa and is instantly attracted to her physically. Willa feels the same and both expect it to be a hookup but find themselves strangely drawn to have something more between them.
They come from very different backgrounds but work is very important to both of them. Dimas protects people and Willa helps the damaged pick up the pieces. Neither felt they had particularly happy childhoods, in different ways, but they feel protected by each other. Neither of them has had particularly successful relationships in the past, making for a rocky start to things, especially when work seems to get in the way.
Work is the driving force behind the suspense part of this romance. There are several people killed that have connections with the shelter so Dimas swoops in to protect his new love interest.
A lot is going on with this book. The suspense aspect of the book is quite complicated and interesting and definitely kept me guessing. On top of that, the romance is filled with sweetness and passion. There are also family difficulties, particularly on Willa’s side. All in all, this is an interesting and entertaining book, that is encouraging me to keep on reading this author.
