A Reader's Opinion: "Atonement" by B.J. Daniels

About the Book
Protecting the citizens of Beartooth, Montana, is never an easy job. One year later, Sheriff Dillon Lawson still feels guilty that he couldn't save his twin brother, Ethan. But the biggest test of his bravery comes when Tessa Winters arrives, claiming to be pregnant…with Ethan's baby. At first, Dillon can't decide if this beautiful woman is a con artist or a victim. If Ethan didn't die in that car crash, then where is he—and why is he hiding?

Now, Dillon is prepared to do anything to uncover the truth…anything except admit his growing feelings for Tessa. But with violence threatening, Tessa and Dillon must trust in each other to save not only themselves…but also Tessa's unborn child. 

A Reader's Opinion
B.J. Daniels is a great storyteller, and she does a wonderful job of drawing readers into the Montana settings of her books. I didn't come into this series at the beginning, so I know I missed out on the first introduction of some characters, but that didn't detract from the individual stories. B.J. weaves multiple story lines in a way that makes you want to know more about each character. I did have to get used to the multiple stories in one, but once I caught on, it was an enjoyable ride. I also like how the characters span a wide age range, rather than everyone in their 20's. B.J. writes great suspense and I had no trouble following along (with anticipation).

I'd definitely recommend this author, and I plan to read more of her books.
