When Abigail Holland awakes to the sound of a nighttime intruder in her rambling Denver Victorian, she knows exactly what the black shrouded figure is after—the map she recently inherited from her grandfather. Whoever he is, the man who grapples with her, then escapes, is willing to kill for the location of a treasure King Farrell hunted for more than ten years. The Devil’s Gold has claimed hundreds of lives, and it was her grandfather’s obsession.
With a killer pursuing her and her own family not to be trusted, Abby decides to take up the search herself. But she’ll need help to do it, and there’s no one better than renowned explorer and treasure hunter Gage Logan. Despite the instant chemistry between them, Gage is reluctant. Innocent people have been hurt on his watch before. But when Abby shows him a genuine gold ingot she found with the map, his curiosity is piqued. Before long they’re heading into the flash floods and brutal winds of the Superstition Mountains, straight into a passionate entanglement—and the dark heart of danger.
The Last Mile is the second book in the "The Logans" series. The series follows the three Logan brothers. This one is Gage's story. It works perfectly as a stand alone book. Some characters from the first book show up in this one, but, you don't really need to know any back story.
That being said, I enjoyed this one a bit more than the first one. It has a lot of action that starts fairly early on in the story. I loved the treasure hunt and adventure portion of the story. It was a lot of fun; full of danger and intrigue. I did figure one thing out early, but the rest was a surprise. As for the couple, I like both Abigail and Gage together and as separate characters. Gage held a lot of guilt and I was happy that Abby was able to make him see reason. Abby had a great head on her shoulders and she was a great match for Gage. It was just a fun romance all around. I highly recommend this one.
