Prowl (A Sanctuary Novel) by Colleen Coble

 

When a worker at the Sanctuary is discovered dead in the tiger enclosure, authorities assume the big cat killed her. But when the autopsy shows she was killed by a lethal dose of anesthetic delivered by a tranquilizer gun, suspicion falls on Blake Lawson, co-owner of the Sanctuary. Blake has his hands full trying to clear his name as well as get the Sanctuary finances back in the black. When a soil test turns up traces of rare earth, he's even more puzzled. Is someone trying to run them out of business to get to whatever is under the ground?

Meanwhile, wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden is determined to find the brother she only recently learned even existed. When the results of the DNA test she ran mysteriously disappear from her portal before she can read them, she realizes someone must not want her to know the truth. A break-in at her new apartment is alarming, but she tries to pass it off as someone trying to scare her away. She refuses to turn tail and run when she is desperate for answers.

For Blake, the only solid ground is his relationship with Paradise, and he longs to propose--but how can they even think about starting a life together with so many forces working against them?

My Review

 

I enjoyed being back with characters that I care about, being updated, and living with them as I turned the pages. Danger is still happening here at the Sanctuary, and sadly murder!
I'm so glad that Paradise and Blake found each other, and was hoping for a wedding, but there are so many roadblocks thrown at them!
Now I feel like there will be another book in this series, there are unanswered questions! I so want to continue on in their lives here. I also want that Police Detective to come back with the box that Paradise lent him?
Unfortunately, the Sanctuary is in dire financial needs, and they could loose it! Where will these poor animals go?
Be ready for danger, you wonder whom, and yes, some answers come, but there are a lot of unanswered!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
