Dwayne

It's been a while since I've been back to "Bishop's Leap" so it took me a minute to pull the memories from my mind for 'Dwayne', the fifth book in this series by Kathi S. Barton. This book can be read as a standalone and you'll thoroughly enjoy it but it's always better to read the series in order to get the full effect the author is trying to give. There's so much going on with this one. Dwayne, of course, is working for Addie as her second and has become quite successful at it. So much so he's learned she intends for him to take over the business when she retires. Now, if you have been following the series, then you'll remember that Dwayne had tried to help a family he found in their car. The husband and two children had died and the woman was barely hanging on but right before she expired Bree made Dwayne promise to call her sister Brit and tell her what happened. Was it an accident or foul play? Brit assured Dwayne she would be there in a few days. Before he even knew they had arrived, a young boy ran into him, while being chased by three local boys, as he was coming out of his office. Turns out Jamie had been injured pretty badly and was bleeding from the back of his head and had to be taken to the hospital. That's where Brit and Dwayne eventually meet. The chemistry is there between these two but it's one that had to get over several of Brit's obstacles. Samuel, a vampire, makes a brief appearance with some ominous vision which kept me wondering throughout the remainder of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and am anxiously awaiting 'Quincy'.
