FALSE EVIDENCE release banner

Title: False Evidence
Series: Evidence #12
Author: Rachel Grant
Genres: Romantic Suspense/Romantic Thriller
Release Date: December 19, 2024
Holidays can be deadly.

Alexandra Vargas hasn’t spoken to JT Talon in seven years. She’s moved on from the heartbreak, and now has the baby—and life—she always wanted. But everything changes on a cold December evening when a traffic stop goes horribly wrong, and Alexandra finds herself on the run with only one possible place to hide: JT’s remote mountain cabin, the same place where, eleven years ago, she broke their engagement a week before the wedding.

JT must face his worst nightmare when he learns that not only is the love of his life a fugitive from the police, but also he must now step up and smuggle the child he never wanted to safety.

Past and present collide as JT and Alexandra struggle to find their way back to each other and heal the rift that has long separated them. But their past still threatens their future, and no one is safe until the truth behind every deception is revealed.

Review:

False Evidence takes readers on a nonstop ride toward an HEA that is sixteen years in the making–and I was here for it! There’s all kinds of ups and downs here–and so many of time jumps, which at first were a bit overwhelming but in the end really helped this story to come together.

I loved Alexandra, JT, and Gemma–in the end, they’re such a solid unit! Lex had me in her camp from the start, as did sweet little Gemma, but JT had some major work to do to earn everyone’s trust. TBH when I read the blurb I wasn’t even sure that I could ever get behind him as the hero of a book–he really had to prove himself, and thank goodness he did!

Because of this, False Evidence is a second chance romance that really made me believe in that second chance–something that definitely isn’t a guarantee with this trope.

Confession time: this was my first Rachel Grant book, and it’s the last of a 12-book series, essentially a direct sequel of her first book ( Concrete Evidence ), published in 2013! Was I a bit behind, not knowing any of these characters at all? Sure. Did it matter? Not really, other than to make me want to read book 1 ASAP 😉

My first Rachel Grant book, but definitely not my last!

About the author:

USA Today bestselling author Rachel Grant also writes thrillers as R.S. Grant. She worked for over a decade as a professional archaeologist and mines her experiences for storylines and settings, which are as diverse as excavating a cemetery underneath an historic art museum in San Francisco, survey and excavation of many prehistoric Native American sites in the Pacific Northwest, researching an historic concrete house in Virginia (inspiration for her debut novel, CONCRETE EVIDENCE), and mapping a seventeenth century Spanish and Dutch fort on the island of Sint Maarten in the Caribbean (which provided inspiration for the island and fort described in CRASH SITE).

She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her archaeologist husband and demanding cat.
