Lucky Shot (The Montana Hamiltons #3) by B. J. Daniels

Contemporary Western Romance

From Goodreads:

He's determined to uncover the truth behind a decades-old disappearance—even if it kills him...

When hotshot reporter Max Malone gets a rare shot of Buckmaster Hamilton with a blonde woman near Beartooth, Montana, he chases down one of the senator's daughters to verify that the woman is his supposedly long-dead first wife. But Kat Hamilton won't give him the time of day, let alone any information about her mother.

With his tousled blond hair, sexy stubble and an old straw cowboy hat topping off his long, lean frame, Kat can just tell Max isn't used to female sources denying him anything. But when her own life is put in jeopardy, it's Max who comes to her rescue. Seems someone is prepared to kill to keep the past in the past. Kat can't deny she needs Max to find out what happened to her mother, but will getting closer and closer to each other lead them to the truth... or to danger?

Book three of the Montana Hamiltons continues the mystery, tension, danger and romance that is a hallmark of the series.  In fact that is a hallmark of all of B.J. Daniels series.

This time it is Kat Hamilton who is at the middle of the mystery and romance.  She and reporter Max Malone meet and clash only to find that they need to work together to try to unravel where Sarah Hamilton has been for the last 22 years.  That search takes them on a journey that uncovers a past and present danger.

This is another hard to put down story that uncovers more about Sarah and her disappearance but still leaves much to be discovered.  Look for another surprise at the end.

Kat and Max are a great couple and I loved how their romance progressed.  There was a slow burn that kept building in the backgound.  It added to the tension that was already at a high level as they investigated Sarah and her disappearance. 

It is best to start this series from the beginning but you can start here.  I think Lucky Shot is the best book of the series.  I am looking forward to more about the Montana Hamilton's and the mystery of Sarah.  Pick up Lucky Shot and you will not be able to put it down.
