dragonflyReviewer: Terry

Aubrey grew up spending her summers at her Aunt’s lake home Dragonfly. All her best memories are of the time she spent there and the people she knew. But insistent teasing from a boy who didn’t know how to show her his feelings leaves her running for cover and promises to never return. Until the fateful day she gets the call that of her Aunt’s death. So she travels home to Walker to say her last good byes, and this is where fate steps in. Her Aunt leaves the lake house Dragonfly to Aubrey, which she soon finds out, is shrouded in mysteries and secrets. Aubrey slowly learns more about the life her aunt lived during the other months of the year when she wasn’t entertaining her niece during summer visits. To top Jason the boy who teased her right out of town waltzes in her life driving her crazy from the moment she lays eyes on him, but this time he is the cop working the case that seems to have her Aunt right in the center of it.

Aubrey is determined to keep Jason at a distance and he just can’t get enough of the girl that got away. Little do they know that she is being stalked, let alone the danger she is in. Aubrey and Jason are a true hot and cold, fire and ice couple. They thrive of the banter and the give and take and struggle to find a balance that makes both of them happy. In the end she pushes him away and runs again breaking his heart. It takes time and distance to find that her heart and soul belongs to the dreamy cop and the lake house in Dragonfly.

The mystery around the story keeps the pages turning and leaves you guessing as to who truly wants to hurt Aubrey. Dragonfly is a fantastic read that I highly recommend if you are looking for a mystery romance.
