Book Description
Becoming a single mother was never the plan—but neither was falling for the FBI Agent investigating her husband’s murder.
FBI Agent Walker Bennett has never deviated from duty. Despite being dedicated to his job, Walker finds himself conflicted for the first time in his career while navigating between his obligation of solving multiple connected murders and his magnetic connection with single mother Vivian Stone. Walker will do whatever is necessary to solve these cases…even if his heart demands that his only job should be keeping Vivian and her daughter safe.
As threats escalate putting the entire town on edge, it’s no longer just Vivian’s chance at true love that’s at risk—it may also be her life.

My Thoughts
Liz Colbert’s “Letting Go” deftly blends the raw vulnerability of grief with the simmering tension of romantic suspense, creating a compelling and emotionally resonant read. Vivian Stone’s unexpected journey into single motherhood following her husband’s murder is immediately gripping, setting the stage for a story where healing and danger intertwine. Colbert skillfully portrays Vivian’s fragility and her fierce determination to protect her young daughter as they return to her small hometown seeking solace.
The arrival of FBI Agent Walker Bennett adds a layer of intrigue and burgeoning romance. Colbert establishes a palpable chemistry between Vivian and Walker, carefully navigating the delicate balance of their connection amidst the backdrop of a murder investigation. Walker’s internal conflict between his professional duty and his growing protective feelings for Vivian feels authentic and drives much of the narrative tension. His alpha nature is evident, but it’s tempered by a genuine care and concern for Vivian’s well-being, making him a compelling romantic lead.
Colbert masterfully builds suspense as the threats escalate, moving beyond Vivian’s personal tragedy to endanger the entire town. The “slow burn” romance allows for a believable development of feelings between Vivian and Walker, making their eventual connection feel earned rather than rushed. The dual POV effectively provides insight into both characters’ internal struggles and motivations, enhancing the reader’s investment in their individual journeys and their potential relationship.
“Letting Go” delivers on its promise of unexpected twists and turns, keeping the reader engaged and guessing as the mystery unfolds. While the romance is a central element, the suspense plot is well-crafted and provides a genuine sense of danger. Colbert’s writing is engaging and accessible, drawing the reader into the small-town setting and the emotional turmoil of its inhabitants. Ultimately, “Letting Go” is a satisfying blend of heartfelt emotion and thrilling suspense, promising a rewarding read with a guaranteed happily ever after that feels both deserved and hard-won.
