Summary

The tip the stranger left sent Nicole a painfully clear message. The past is no longer in the past. 

Nicole is fighting to bury the memories. Someone else is fighting to keep them exposed. Detective Daniel Grey is back in town, and diner owner Nicole Hunter isn’t sure how she feels about that. It’s been almost seven years, and now she doesn’t just have herself to think about but her six-year-old son as well. If she does find the courage to take a chance on love, her heart could be smashed into pieces. Again. 

And it’s not only her heart that is in danger. Someone is working hard to disrupt her present with reminders of the past she has worked hard to forget, especially her darkest memory - of the night her husband was gunned down in the street in front of her. As much as she might want to push Daniel away, Nicole needs him closer now than ever before. 

But the one she trusts to keep her and her son safe has a secret that may prove to be the biggest threat of all.

Daniel's HEA with Nicole? Yes, please!

After I finished Vigilant, I couldn't have been happier to know that this story existed. I mean, come on. Daniel was my favorite, so to see a whole book dedicated to his HEA with Nicole? Yes, please!
So, was it any good? Yes. I loved it. I loved their reconnecting with each other, his having to gain her trust (in more ways than one), them talking about their shared past and the hurting they did to the other and, just overall, them being imperfect, completely relatable people who have struggles and need all kinds of reminders in their walk with God. Truly, I think that was the part that I enjoyed the most: the knowing/being reminded that we're not in control, but rather need to submit to the Lord's will, and accept His forgiveness and grace.
Now, while I definitely liked the romance and them being committed to each other, I also liked the suspense, since the author gives us the villain's POV in some random chapters of the story. Oh, and I also enjoyed the mystery that had been left open from some threads of the previous book, especially concerning Nicole's past.

The narrator was just as good this time around, not only bringing all the characters to life (especially favorite ones like Daniel, Nicole, and Char, as well as Jordan, among others), but also nailing every single emotion (and this book has all the gamut of them: shock, anger, fear/trembling, passion, and so on). I also loved not only that he acts the sighs and laughs, but also the voices as they would sound through the phone or through a dispatch/radio. It definitely made for a much more realistic experience.

All in all, a great sequel to Sara Davison's The Night Guardians series, perfect for fans of Romantic Suspense, Christian Fiction that ponders hard questions or situations, and/or foreign settings (this one is set in Canada for the most part). ~ 4.5 stars
