Book Review (+ author giveaway): TRACKING TAHLULA by Freya Barker


 

Title: Tracking Tahlula (On Call #3) 
Author: Freya Barker 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 
Release Date: November 12, 2019 





As author Tahlula Rae has discovered; success is a double-edged sword. Leading a quiet and anonymous life, she isn’t prepared for the hateful backlash when her latest book hit the lists, propelling her into the limelight. No longer feeling safe in Denver, she takes her laptop and dog, Luke, and moves to the mountains around Durango, where her peaceful solitude is disrupted when a red-bearded man knocks on her door. 

While one of the fire department’s finest, Evan Biel, is relatively content with his life, he can’t escape the sense something’s missing. When on fire-safety housecalls, he finds himself staring into a pair of soulful, copper-colored eyes sparking a deep interest.  Discovering the exotic-looking woman may be in more trouble than he can handle, he tries—yet fails—to keep his distance.

When Tahlula offers San Antonio firefighters, Moose and Penelope Jacobs, temporary lodging, as they help fight seasonal wildfires, Evan’s relieved she’s no longer alone on the mountain. Yet when her troubles become outright threats on her life, his focus has to be keeping Tahlula safe.

MY THOUGHTS

   TRACKING TAHLULA is another solid addition to Freya Barker’s catalogue of authored books. This time, our heroine, Tahlula Rae, is herself an author who learns about the dark side of being a public persona when she begins receiving alarming threats. Evan Biel meets Tahlula soon after she moves into town and he is immediately attracted to her.

There’s a good balance of romance and suspense, and the fast pace of the book kept me flicking the pages fast to find out what happens next. The suspense element had enough twists and turns to keep me and the characters guessing about who the “bad guys” are. I also enjoyed the very steamy attraction between Evan and Tahlula.

And then there’s a miniature donkey called Smokey. He doesn’t play a large part in the book, but every time he makes an appearance, he put a smile on my face.

Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Driven to make her books about 'real' people; with characters who are perhaps less than perfect, but just as deserving of romance, thrills and chills, and their own slice of happy. A recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None”, and Finalist for the Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, Freya has not slowed down. She continues to add to her rapidly growing collection of published novels as she spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!
