After being gifted and reading the first book in Lisa Harris' Southern Crimes series, I was able to access book two via the Libby app. Emily's story was as intriguing as was her sister Avery's. Unlike Avery, their father, and their brother, Emily is not in law enforcement; rather, she is a high school history teacher. Until the day one of her students pulled a handgun out and held her class hostage, Emily had been able to avoid the dangers her family members so often faced.
Harris skillfully intertwines a slow-burn romance into Emily's situation. Mason, her late brother's former partner, and her sister's lead suspect in that case, becomes the hostage negotiator throwing he and Emily together in an intensely emotional situation as they both care very much for the young man they had both mentored who is very uncharacteristically holding his class at gunpoint.
While this is an older series, I highly recommend it and am looking forward to reading book number three.
