Pursuit of the Truth by K.D. Richards checked all of my romantic suspense boxes and made for an enjoyable and quick weekend read. It features two fully adult people who are in no way angsty and are past the stage of trying to figure out who they want to be. Both Nadia (35) and Ryan (36) have established careers that have overlapped and have been ignoring an attraction that they both feel. Nadia has found herself in charge of her family's hotel business and Ryan is co-owner of the security company that has her hotels as long time clients.
I truly appreciated they way that Richards developed Nadia and Ryan. Nadia is smart, determined, and willing to do what is necessary to continue to grow and strengthen the legacy left to her. Ryan, despite his strong protective instincts, does not try to take over and steamroll Nadia when he sees her in trouble. He's helpful and thoughtful while respecting her need to be involved in every step of what's happening and being investigated. I loved that!
If you are looking for a romantic suspense story that features adult Black characters and romance, low on angst but will have you wanting the couple to get together despite their initial hesitations, and contains a well written, enjoyably straight forward plot I recommend picking up Pursuit of the Truth. This made for a wonderful weekend read and would be excellent as a vacation read. I am so glad to have been offered a copy by the author and I am very much looking forward to reading her next release.
Happy reading, y'all!
