Thorn Grayson had respect for Judge W.T. Landusky but even more gratitude. When it came to life altering events the Judge had been the one to take a chance on a rebellious teen. If and when the Judge ever needed anything there was no doubt in Thorn’s mind that he would be there. His relationship with the old Judge was that important to him.
In HEARTBREAKER B.J. Daniels treats us to an adventure of sorts and naturally a mystery involving a mistaken identity and a botched up kidnapping. All the elements needed to assure the reader of still another entertaining story by B.J. Daniels. HEARTBREAKER is actually the second of the Montana Justice series.
Thorn is directed to a plane crash site in the mountains near his cabin. The Judge alerted him to the fact that a friend of his granddaughter, a suspected victim of kidnapping, was on that plane and the question now – are there any survivors. So Thorn is really unsure of what to expect. The only person he finds alive at the site is the granddaughter. But this woman doesn’t act at all like a spoiled, pampered twenty something. This woman is stubborn and resourceful.
JJ realizes that she has been mistaken for that granddaughter. She naturally does not accept Thorn’s account of why he was there. Both of them are suspicious and skeptical.
The entire kidnapping plan became twisted and snarly as the days progress. It became pretty clear that there was no shortage of suspects. The list was long and fortunately the Judge knew that the most important thing was to keep it under his hat. The less people that knew details the better. His gut dictated that no one was above suspicion.
Danger seemed to hide behind each turn on the road. Thorn and JJ were constantly looking over their shoulders. Until Geneva was found Thorn knew that JJ was in peril. It was obvious that JJ had a role to play in this kidnapping scheme. She was a victim of being in the wrong place as they say and yet it seems as if that just might be too simplistic. There was nothing simple about his kidnapping. And as in most B.J. Daniels stories there is always room for still another shoe to drop. Gasps of surprise right to the very end. That’s why all B.J. Daniels tales are so satisfying and HEARTBREAKER will not disappoint. Guaranteed.

Heartbreaker (Montana Justice #2). By B.J. Daniels. 2020. HQN (ARC eBook).

When Franklin Davenport’s granddaughter is kidnapped for a ransom and the locator on her cell phone places her in the Montana mountains, where a plane has just crashed, Judge Landusky, an old friend of Davenport’s, puts a call in to Thorn Grayson. Having known Thorn as a youth, the judge knows the ex-military man is in a prime location, and more than capable enough, to retrieve the heiress Geneva Davenport.

But as soon as Thorn locates Geneva, who tells him to call her “JJ,” trouble keeps hounding them. As he works to keep JJ safe he wonders just who she really is and how much trust he can afford to place in her. Could she be involved with the people who orchestrated her kidnapping in the first place?

Heartbreaker is the second book in Daniels’ Montana Justice series, but it is the first book I’ve read by this author. There is plenty of suspense, action, romance and twists to recommend for romantic suspense fans. I liked both Thorn and JJ’s determined natures and the background story between Thorn and the judge (who I’m guessing is the common denominator in the series) has me wanting to follow the series. Overall, an engaging read.

This is the second book in the Montana Justice series. Great author and series. I really like this and recommend it for Romantic Suspense fans. The main characters, JJ and Thorn were likeable and interesting. Recommended!

Heartbreaker is the second book in the Montana Justice series written by B.J. Daniels. Readers will immediately be engaged in this action-packed romance right from the start. In a fight for survival and battling strong attraction, JJ and Thorn must overcome their pasts and learn to trust each other to stay alive. Heartbreaker will keep readers on the edge of their seats with all of the twists and turns. This romance suspense by B.J. Daniels is a strong addition to the Montana Justice series and a must-read for romance readers everywhere.

Thom is ex-military and was asked to rescue a mans granddaughter thought to be kidnapped. But it seems the women he's rescued from the wreckage is the wrong person and now needs to find to dig deeper and figure out whats going on and figure where is the real grand daughter.

From the beginning of the book there is plenty to hook the readers enough where they need to see this book though and find out what truly is going on. I loved how self sufficient JJ was, she was not the kinda women to wait for someone to rescue her she was resourceful at times and sure wasn't going to be taken lightly. I loved watching thing unfold and seeing a bit about Thom's past. Then I couldn't help but be curious about the kidnapped grand daughter and wondering if things truly were as they appeared. Read this book if you get a chance because your not going to want this miss this great suspense novel.

I really liked the two main characters in the new book. Both had secrets in their past and both tried to keep emotion out of the picture There was the usual mix of danger, tension and romance that kept the story moving at a brisk pace. Just when you though everything was going to be OK another event sent the characters off on another adventure.

An incredible tale of suspense, deception and love. Jenny Jo Foster was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thorn Grayson owed someone a huge favor and set out to find JJ only he was told she was someone else. When the dust settled they realized the love that found them couldn't keep them away from one another.
BJ Daniels book is remarkable and very hard to put down. You will love this.

B.J. Daniels is an awesome author when it comes to plot and how to construct a great romantic-suspense. Unfortunately, character depth and development is just not one of her strengths. Her characters are often stilted and superficial and they are one dimensional.

A woman is dragged from her bed in the dead of night. Drugged, kidnapped and taken on a small plane that crashes. Thom Grayson, ex-military hermit, is called in the middle of the night and asked to find the crashed plane. This is a request he can't ignore.

Geneva is a spoiled heiress who is playing a dangerous game. JJ is a hard working woman trying to pay off her father's medical bills. She is homeless and couch surfing in the homes of her wealthy travel clients while they travel. This time she is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

When Thorn finds her, she is not at all convinced he isn't there to keep her prisoner again. Trust comes hard to JJ. Trust comes hard to Thorn too as he isn't sure she isn't a part of the kidnapping plot. When these two finally do trust they do it completely and together they find the people behind the kidnapping plot.

Another good one to sit back with that is been entered into this series. Gotta love this one too with that ex military man that already got my attention. Thom has obstacles as life is fond of giving us at times. He takes a job that has him on the hunt one that produces JJ. Trust will have to be earned that is for sure that is also part of the good part of this one is how it comes about. The secrets that come to the surface is also another intriguing part. The trek itself is quite a adventure with anxious is just part of what the author pulls out of us. The romance is woven in like a fine weave that becomes part of the story along with the suspense. Another thrilling warm read to disappear into until the end is in sight.

This is an enthralling romantic suspense with so many twists and turns to keep you guessing right to the end!

A young woman is kidnapped, bundled into a light aircraft and flown away.... When the plane crashes Thorn Grayson is asked to find her. However, nothing is as it initially seems. Can she trust him not to be another kidnapper? Can he get her to trust him?

This is a brilliant addition to the Montana Justice series. The characters are so brilliantly portrayed, warts and all. As the story progresses, you learn more about them, their past, their actions and feelings. It feels like getting to know them, making it easy to relate to and empathise with them. It may sound like being a simple rescue mission but it is anything but! There will be more dangers to face, secrets to uncover and shocking surprises in store as well as love to develop in this superb story by this master story weaver. BJ Daniels doesn't just tell as story, she skilfully takes a myriad of different threads and twists and turns them, weaving them together into a superb suspense filled thriller and suspense filled romance.

I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it and thoroughly enjoying doing so -I really can't recommend it highly enough!

Heartbreaker by B.J. Daniels, the second novel in her Montana Justice series, starts off with a sleeping woman being accosted by 3 kidnappers in the bedroom in the middle of night, trying to fight them off and losing once they inject her with a drug. When she wakes up, she finds herself in a small plane, her hands bound and the 3 kidnappers on board, but soon the pilot seems to have veered off course, there's engine trouble, and a plane crash, and that's just for starters in this action-packed, more twists and turns than a mountain road, romantic suspense novel, which gets 5 stars from this reader.

The kidnappers are after Geneva Davenport, whose grandfather, Franklin Davenport, is a very wealthy man, and his spoiled granddaughter is his sole heir. He's tried to do right by 22-year-old Geneva, paying for college after college--she's dropped out of all of them, but all he's managed to do is support her wild, unpredictable lifestyle. She's now seeing an older man he absolutely loathes, Zac, and her constant demands for more money have finally convinced him to stop paying her bills, stop giving her a very generous allowance, and ut up her credit cards, in the hope that she'll grow up and accept responsibility for her own life and her own actions.

When Franklin gets a phone call demanding a $10 million dollar ransom for Geneva's release, he calls on his friend, retired judge, W.T. Landusky, for help. W.T. has rescued many a troubled youth who came before him in court, and he calls on one of them, Thorn Grayson, who lives alone in a cabin not far from the crash site, to see if Geneva is on board and managed to survive the crash. If she's alive, he's tasked with bringing her back to her grandfather--and if you thought that this would be a simple task, you are very much mistaken, and there's no way I'm going to spoil this read for you by letting you in on all the many secrets, revelations and all the dangerous situations to follow in this utterly un-put-downable novel--and believe me, these two compelling main characters get into enough trouble and danger to fill 3 novels. All I can tell you is to get a copy of this book, find a comfy chair, and start reading this well-plotted, thrill ride of a novel. It hooked me from the very first page, and kept me hooked throughout. Quite simply, is was one of the most exciting, complex, romantic suspense novels I've read recently. I think you'll feel the same way about it as I did.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel. The opinions expressed are my own.

Another great suspense romance from BJ Daniels! Thorn and JJ had a rocky start , but realized they needed to rely on each other to survive. In the process they found love. In between it's one-stop action, suspense and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend reading this one!

I received a free ARC from Net Galley and the publisher in for my honest opinions.

Heartbreaker by B J Daniels was a great read. This is the second book in the Montana Justice series where the Judge JT Landusky calls for a favor and the whole book is about trying to help him. I loved the setting of Flathead Lake in this book.

Thorn Grayson is happy up on his mountain, isolated from the world. However, when the judge called Thorn, he is off looking for a crashed plane. Thorn not only finds the plane, he finds JJ, a woman who is smart, suspicious and very difficult. Just when he finally convinces her to leave (trust me it was not easy) the plane explodes. That just starts the confusion and the chase. We have mistaken identities, car chases and ransom demands, while JJ and Thorn try to find the missing person and the kidnappers. Of course both of them are so attracted to the other, which adds a layer of HEAT.

I really enjoyed Heartbreaker and how the plot moved along. It reminded me of the sinuous mountain roads that they had to escape on with all the twists and turns. The intricacies of the story line with all the interesting characters kept you on edge. I liked both of the main characters of JJ and Thorn. Their growing relationship was special. Heartbreaker by B J Daniels was a great read.

Captivating mixture of suspense and romance!

JJ is kidnapped from a borrowed bed in the middle of the night only to have the plane carrying her and her three kidnappers crash in the middle of the Montana wilderness. A ransom demand is made, but not for her, yet that call sets in motion the rescue that will give her a chance to get out ahead of whatever threat she's running from.

Thorn is sent to rescue the kidnapped woman, but things only get more complicated from there. JJ isn't what he was expecting, and she has no idea whose side he's working for. Her inability to trust him keeps her on the run from everyone as she and Thorn try to sort out just what has happened and who is behind it all. Once these two learn to trust each other and work together, the story really takes off and the mystery starts to come into focus.

This is one of the best romantic suspense stories I've read in a very long time. The romance between Thorn and JJ is solid, if slow-building, and their dedication to see the investigation through to the end was downright heroic. JJ is no shrinking violet; she's a strong woman who is a heroine in her own right. Paired with Thorn, these two are unstoppable.

The surprise reveal at the end answered a lot of questions, and both the HEA and the justice served were very satisfying. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I enjoyed this book very much. It had intrigue, romance and lots of twists and turns. The storyline was great. The characters were engaging. A great addition to the series.

Complementary copy given for honest review and opinion.

Another great romance and mystery merged into one by BJ Daniels. Love this book and the details placed throughout.

5 Stars

This is the second book in the Montana Justice series by B.J. Daniels.

Both Thorne and JJ are broken people. Thorn is hiding out from a past he has shared with very few. We don’t really learn much much about him until the last third of the book. And JJ seems like the innocent victim until you realize she had been staying at Geneva’s house without her knowledge. Not that Geneva was an angel. Far from it. She was so spoiled that her grandfather took away her quite hefty allowance.

Geneva’s grandfather calls in the big guns and asks a favor of his judge friend. And the judge is the one who puts Thorn on the case of finding JJ when she is mistakenly taken from Geneva’s apartment in the middle of the night.

I enjoyed the dual romance storyline in this book. And it did not detract from the main story at all. The Judge, Helen, the Grandfather’s attorney and the grandfather make quite an interesting secondary plot line. I really liked this aspect. And I love how it all got wrapped up at the end even for the more seasoned adults.

This was exactly right up my alley. But those looking for the extra sexy read, you won’t exactly find that here. This is a hard won happily ever after story that I really appreciated. I think the suspense far outweighed the romance/sexy part of the book. Just how I like a book to be.

If you love a good romantic suspense, you have to check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

I’m a sucker for a sizzling romance and I love a good who dunnit. So, who better to turn to for a story that combines the two into an amazing, addictive read than BJ Daniels. I always quickly get caught up in her books with their superbly drawn characters, adrenaline rushing action, and steaming romance. And Heartbreaker did not disappoint.
When a crashed plane and a kidnapped woman need to be found, Thorn Grayson is the man called to find her and get her out. A simple rescue mission. But nothing is simple when it comes to the masterful storytelling of BJ Daniels. Things only get more complicated and more dangerous. And Thorn and JJ are drawn deeper and deeper, having to trust each other, total strangers, if they want to survive.
This Montana Justice series just gets better and better. Danger and desire merge flawlessly into one irresistible story. Heartbreaker is overflowing with intrigue, sexual tension, and more twists and turns than a drag strip. In true BJ Daniels fashion, she expertly layers the plot and keeps the surprises coming till the very end. Fans of BJ Daniels will love the surprises and sizzle of this thriller with a side of swoon. And if you’re new to BJ Daniels, prepare to binge.

Heartbreaker, is different from what I'm used to reading from B.J. Daniels. I enjoyed it more than normal. I can't wait for the next book now.

Thanks to netgalley for letting me review this book

This is the second book in this series. I did enjoy this book but the characters were not my favorite. How many times can you be chased and kidnapped and not get hurt.
