While Lineage of Corruption is book 7 in Robin Patchen's Coventry Saga series, it will work as a stand-alone read. I always enjoy Patchen's writing, and I especially love her long series that allow one to know her characters well, and to feel at home in her small town settings. Patchen does a wonderful job of balancing the romance and suspense elements of her stories.
In Lineage of Corruption Josie Smith is working incognito as a coffee shop owner. Trying to stay under the radar has made making friends difficult. Few people from her former life as a D.C. mover and shaker know of her new name or whereabouts. Thomas Windham spends more of his time volunteering with search and rescue, the fire department, and as a paramedic than he does running his insurance business. Now, he has been asked to run for mayor. Circumstances, much to Thomas' pleasure and Josie's frustration, have thrown the two together and shown them that they need one another's skills. The action becomes intense as Thomas' campaign heats up and Josie becomes a target as a pawn in her own father's political career.
I highly recommend this book and series along with Robin Patchen's previous series. I am grateful to have been provided a complimentary copy without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
Thank you so much for the kind review, Claudia!
