4.3 out of 5 stars 1,255 ratings

The deadliest of secrets

Rancher Sarah Trask’s brother was gunned down while searching for a valuable secret. Now the dirty sheriff who wanted him dead thinks Sarah has all the answers, and she has no choice but disappear into the wilderness to evade the law. Sarah is used to taking care of herself but this time her life isn’t the only one on the line, and the only one she is willing to trust is her unborn baby’s father...a man unaware he is about to become a dad.

The highest of stakes

Wilderness guide Eric Lander walked away from Sarah before things got too serious…or so he thought. But when she’s threatened, he risks everything to rush to her aid. And when he discovers there is another life at stake—that of their unborn child—serious doesn’t begin to describe the fury of a man protecting his own.

In a race up sheer cliffs, down rugged canyons, and into the middle of a rodeo, Sarah and Eric unravel a mystery that could save them...or destroy everything and everyone they hold dear.

Rocky Mountain Thrillers are fast-paced novels with a dangerous edge. Each stand-alone story is set in the brutal and beautiful Rocky Mountains and contains intrigue, romance, and break-neck action. Listen to them all!

    What is behind the murder of Sarah's brother, Randy? Money, greed, drugs, revenge, justice, or something else? Why are they trying to blame it on Eric? Will this bring Eric and Sarah back together or will it drive them even further apart? Action-packed from the very first page.

    Fugitive is the second book in Ann Voss Peterson’s Rocky Mountain Thriller series. In this book, readers meet Sarah Trask and Eric Lander. Sarah owns and runs a ranch. Eric is a wilderness guide. Eric and Sarah dated for several months and then Eric walked away. Three months later, Sarah is pregnant and finds herself embroiled in dangerous schemes hatched by her wayward brother, Randy. Eric realizes she is in danger and his protective streak is awaken. When he learns she is carrying his baby his possessive streak emerges. Can he keep her safe? Will they find happiness? You must read this book to discover the outcome.

    I enjoyed this character-driven plot with a theme of betrayal versus trust. I liked how Ms. Patterson wove in motivating forces of greed, corruption, and abuse of power to move her plot along. I enjoyed Sarah and Eric’s quest as they hunted for truth behind the murders of Randy and the others. Ms. Patterson’s characters, both primary and secondary were well-designed and multi-layered. I appreciated Ms. Patterson’s use of descriptive language. Her picturesque nature scenes were realistic while her action scenes were riveting. I liked how she wrapped all details up in her epilogue. Nice job, Ms. Patterson.

    You talk about twists, turns and danger everywhere you look, this book is loaded. It’ll keep you on your toes trying to guess where the next shot will be fired from and who will pull the trigger. Didn’t want to put it down.

    In this case, we have Sarah's brother, not a very good person himself, get killed because he wanted to blackmail the wrong person. Unfortunately, he drags Sarah and Eric, Sarah's ex boyfriend into it as well. A lot happens in a short period of time - I think around 5 or 6 days, so be prepared.

    This was the first book I have read by this author so I didn’t know really what to expect. The reviews all praised it, so I tried it. There was plenty of action that never let up. The characters were ok which is why I gave it 4 stars. Not really happy or satisfied with either of the two main characters. The bad guys were bad and I did see the surprise coming at the end. All in all it was a good read.

    I really enjoyed Fugitive. It was hard to put it down. Miss Peterson created a great book and I’m certain she’ll continue writing many more. Every time I felt I figured out the story, then a turn would come into play and a new surprise! Will look forward to enjoying otherwise books she has written!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2022
    This was very different to my normal reading.

    Eric’s friend Randy is shot dead while the are out rock climbing and he narrowly escaped the same fate. Not having a clue at what has happened he runs to check in on randys sister and finds her held against her will by the town sheriff. On the run and trying to put the pieces together it’s a race against time for them to find out what has happened.

    The suspense here was palpable. I loved the very descriptive climbing scenes, as a learner climber made me be able to view everything clearly.
    Eric wasn’t my normal type of book hero. A bit too out of tune with his emotional side. But he got his head out his backside eventually. All in all really good

    More than a romance it is full of suspense. While I wouldn't call it a thriller because the romance elements are too pronounced.it is still a page turner. I will read another.
