What We May Be by Layla Reyne
4.0
I've read many second chance romances and was impressed with this engrossing murder case intertwined with the protagonists.
FBI Agent Sean Hale is back in Hanover, North Carolina after a decade. The town he left because of loyalty and obligation. The town he left with so much regret and heartache for the loss of the two people he left behind. Now he's back to solve a murder connected to those two people he betrayed so long ago. Will they accept his apology and give him a second chance?
Professor Trevor Caldwell and Deputy Chief Charlotte "Charlie" are best friends and family. When Sean left them on that fateful night when all hell broke loose, they felt aimless and incomplete without him. So they tried to get on with their lives to no avail. Now Sean has returned and tensions are high. First, they have to solve a serial murder case that is eerily connected with that night ten years ago. The night Charlie was attacked, the night Charlie's mother died, the night Sean left them. Secondly, they have to address the elephant in the room and open up about the past. Will they be able to forgive Sean and heal together?
Sean, Trevor, and Charlie have a unique and loving relationship that only works when all three are together. Trevor and Charlie could not be a couple without their missing link, Sean, so they settled for best friends. Trevor's concern and protectiveness for Charlie are understandable when Sean comes back, but Trevor is just as hurt which he displays in anger toward Sean. Charlie has lost a lot of family and with Sean's return, he has brought back heartache and perhaps some semblance of hope. The chemistry between all of them is still there as the three finally tell the truth about everything that happened that heartbreaking night and make a promise to fight for what they may be.
In the meantime, they work together to find a serial killer who is murdering seemingly random people until the victims connect to Charlie's family. The twists and turns in the murder mystery are frustrating and surprising as the reader is dragged into a killer's Shakespearean obsession to get revenge for betrayals, deceptions, and infidelities from the past.
I recommend this intriguing and startling romantic suspense involving a delusional killer and three lovers determined to protect and fight for each other and finally have a happily ever after.
Thank you to Ms. Reyne for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
