**Book Review- Trent's Redemption (Mill Creek Mystique Book 1) by Bailey Thomas

   

Can they face their demons and find love?

Trent Jacobs had everything he wanted in life until the flash of a muzzle ripped his world apart. Now he only has guilt. Permanently removed from fieldwork due to questionable events, Trent retires from the FBI. He retreats to the small town of Mill Creek, Idaho, to become the town sheriff.

Margaret King knows what it’s like to be alone and isolated. Losing her parents as a child was impossible, but the death of her brother damn near killed her. When a strange van appears on her street and her apartment is broken into, she turns to Trent, the only man she knows she can trust.

After Maggie shows up terrified and haunted, Trent’s guilt explodes. She makes him want things he doesn’t deserve, including her. As their past collides with the present, Trent is forced to face his demons to protect her. Or risk losing her.  AMAZON LINK

 I enjoyed the dual points of views of Maggie and Trent.   This was a good story but it was also slow at times.  Part of that probably had to do with the detailed descriptions of the town and it's people.  Which was well done.  It was a friendly town that stood behind people who lived there.  There was a significant amount of time also having to do with guilt on both of the main characters part.  A bit of that could have easily been toned down a little.  It just seemed like it was re-hashed a little more than I liked.  Although the emotions were written in such a way as to be easily understood.

The supporting "cast" of people were well done and I ended up wanting to know more about Aimee and Clark.  It just felt like Clark was such a mystery and deserves his own story. 

The end results of the battles were good and I was happy with the ending.


  " I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book,through Booksprout.  And these are  my honest opinions about it.
