Review of Atonement by B.J. Daniels

Welcome to the February 20 stop for the Atonement Blog Tour.

Dillon Lawson lost his twin brother, Ethan, a year ago in fiery car cash. As Sheriff, he does his best to protect the citizens of Beartooth, Minnesota but feels extreme guilt for not being able to protect his brother.

When Tessa Winters arrives in Beartooth, Dillon starts to wonder what Ethan is in fact dead. Theresa is nine months pregnant and he can’t figure out whether the woman is trying to con him or if she is speaking the truth.  What is interesting is that she first believes that Dillon is Ethan.

Now Dillon must find out the truth but in the process of doing so, he finds himself falling for Tessa.  As Dillon and Tessa search for Ethan, they find themselves and Tessa’s unborn baby in danger and Dillon is forced to trust a woman who views as a con artist.

Atonement is also about Frank and Nettie who loved each other for decades and after many disappointments, they finally see themselves working out.  And things are finally starting to look up until Frank is accused of the murder of his ex-wife.

Atonement is the 4^th installment of the Beartooth Mountain series. B.J. Daniels has taken suspense and romance in a whole new direction.  While I am new to the Beartooth Mountain series, I really enjoyed Atonement and I look forward to reading the prior installments.

Atonement is available for purchase and download on February 25. You can read the first three chapters at the author’s blog for a preview.
