Publisher's summary

From enemies to allies...When archaeologist Isabel Dawson stumbles upon an unconscious man deep in the Alaskan wilderness, her survival skills are put to the test. She tends his wounds and drags him to shelter, only to discover she's saved the life of Raptor CEO Alec Ravissant - the man who may have covered up her brother's murder to save his senatorial campaign.

With no memory of the assault that landed him five miles deep in the forest, Alec doesn't know what to believe when he wakes in the clutches of the beautiful redhead who blames him for her brother's death, but he quickly realizes he needs her help to uncover the truth about his lost hours.

Isabel never imagined she'd find herself allied with Alec, and he's the last man she ever expected to find attractive. But the former Army Ranger-turned-politician proves seductively charming, and he's determined to win much more than her vote. When their quest for answers puts Isabel in the crosshairs, Alec must risk everything - his company, his campaign, and his life - to protect her.

Great Series

Rachel Grant has done a suburb job with her Evidence Series. Her plots are creative and intriguing, keeping the readers attention. The main characters in the series are sharp, intelligent and strong as well as likeable.

exciting...

this is my first listen to this author but it won't be my last! I love the dangerous element, the mystery and of course the romance! I'll be looking up other books by Rachel Grant! Also, the first time listening to Nicol Zanzarella. Great voice ! Hope to hear her again!

Incriminating evidence

I really enjoyed this book! It had wilderness, a Ranger, an archeologist and secrets to be uncovered.

Action, Romantic suspense

This was a well written well developed storyline. The author developed the characters beautifully. It has some steam in it (not much) but some. It really kept you on your toes and I enjoyed it very much.

Another brilliant Rachel Grant book

Again Rachel Grant has nailed it. The book has mystery, intrigue, passion, emotion and romance. The characters are amazing they are written with depth and consistency, there are true alpha men who aren’t threatened by intelligent capable women.
The chemistry is built and developed so that it is believable and the settings are detailed and draw the reader in. I now want to visit Alaska.
Great book to get lost in for a few hours, couldn’t put it down.

B+ for both the story and narration!

I gave this audiobook a B+ for both the story and narration at AudioGals.

Narrated by Nicol Zanzarella

As a romantic suspense title that will cause you to question just who your allies and enemies truly are, Incriminating Evidence is sure to pique your curiosity. This title delivers more than just suspense, with an interesting enemies- to-lovers romantic plot that takes up equal, or near equal, time in its development as the suspense angle. Additionally, for the audiobook lovers, the narration by the talented Nicol Zanzarella makes this a good romantic suspense title to enjoy in audiobook format.

Isabel Dawson is determined to uncover the true reason why her older brother Vin died. His death has been ruled a training accident, as he was employed by a paramilitary organization named Raptor and was on their training compound in Alaska when he died. However, she is convinced that Vin’s death was no accident – it was murder. Vin died while on the land owned by Raptor, and the Raptor CEO, Alec Ravissant (a former army ranger turned politician who is running for a Senate seat in Maryland), is blocking her attempts to obtain more information about circumstances surrounding his death. The situation has gotten so heated that Alec has even obtained a restraining order prohibiting Isabel from going on Raptor land.

But Isabel is a determined woman as well as an archaeologist who is used to solving mysteries. So she ignores the restraining order, determined to find a cave that Vin mentioned to her and which she is convinced holds the evidence she needs to prove his murder. What Isabel could never have counted on, however, was stumbling upon her nemesis, Alec Ravissant, while exploring the land. Moreover, Alec has been attacked and is unconscious giving her no option but to help him. She’s so tough, in fact, that she creates a makeshift device (travois) to pull his body miles in the cold Alaskan terrain to a small shelter. Without her aid, he would have frozen to death. However, when he wakes up, he pays her back not with thanks, but by having her arrested!

But as Alec begins to regain his strength and starts to do some digging of his own, he starts to see that Isabel may just have been right all along, and even more distressing, given her undoubtedly negative effect on his campaign, undeniably alluring. So Alec reaches out to Isabel who, though skeptical, is also not willing to lose an opportunity to bring closure to her brother’s case. But can they really trust each other? Thus begins a journey where they begin to uncover a number of clues. But not everything is as it seems. Can Alec and Isabel discover the truth before danger looms in and gets one or both of them? Moreover, could there possibly be a HEA in the cards for this couple?

Excellent Book -Read and listened to twice so far

This review is for both the ebook and the Audible. The Audible made a excellent book into an even more enjoyable escape from reality.

Archaeologist Isabel Dawson, a character briefly mentioned in Night Owl, came to Tamarack, AK shortly after the death of her older brother, Vin. Vin worked for Raptor as a trainer for military troops before they are deployed overseas. Raptor has investigated Vin's death and determined it to be a tragic accident. Isabel believes it was murder. And she has moved to Tamarack to prove it.

The details of Vin's death are a central plotline to the book so in order not to give out spoilers, all I can say is Wow! Didn't see that coming. Now, you need to go get the ebook AND Audible and read/listen to it.

The male lead in this book is Raptor CEO Alec Ravissant, who is currently running for a Senate seat in Maryland. He comes to Tamarack because the facility has been having trouble with a woman, Isabel, that is trying to get Raptor to reopen the investigation into her brother's death. Unfortunately for her, she was arrested for trespassing on Raptor land and interrupting a training exercise with LIVE bullets. She gets hit with a restraining order to stay away from Raptor land. Which is hard to do since she is doing an archaeological survey on land that is next to Raptor land.

While out doing a survey, she comes across an unconscious man. She is able to give him some medical aid but she is unable to do more because her car is five miles away and she cannot carry or drag him to her car. However, there is an abandoned cabin nearby she can take him to for the night. Unfortunately for her, it's on Raptor land. But who is going to report her. Not the unconscious man she dragged nearly a mile. Then she suddenly realizes that the man in question is Raptor CEO Alec Ravissant, who is there to try to resolve several issues, one of which is her.

The rest of the book moves fast and involves several situations that are not only alarming but all tied to the main plotline. As for Isabel and Alec, talk about combustible chemistry. But then again what else could you expect from two very strong characters.

I highly recommend this book and the Audible. It's the perfect combination.

Saving the enemy.

She'd tried to get justice for her brother. It wasn't an accident. He was too good at what he did to die the of exposure. No one would listen. Then she found the man. She'd have to drag him over the frozen ground back to the cabin she'd seen. He was huge but she couldn't let him die--even if he was the one who ignored her demands to investigate her brother's death.

Enemy to lover. He was wealthy and a former Army Ranger. Now he owned a Mercenary company and was running for the Senate. He wasn't her friend. She'd get him to listen--that is if she got out of jail for saving him. Right. She drags his big self to safety and...

The heat is with them. Enemies or not they have something between them. Will they have live to find out what?

I enjoyed the audio, the narration, and the parts I read of the book. I found out it is a series and I'll be checking out the other books as well.

Romantic Suspense Fans

If you're a fan of romantic suspense reads, this one's for you! This is a totally insta-love, enemies-to-lovers read with plenty of action, suspense, and steam.

While I'm an admitted fan of romantic suspense, this was not my favorite Rachel Grant novel because she's an author that crosses genres easily. Her later novels still contain a romantic suspense element, but focus enough on the adventure, action, and mystery that others can also enjoy her books. It seems like a fine line, but it's actually not if you're a fan of thriller/suspense novels but not a romance fan. For me, the main difference lies in the amount of suspension of belief. There's usually a certain amount of this in any suspense tale. But those of us who enjoy romantic suspense are willing to sacrifice a bit more reality for a lusty read.

Bottom line: this is still a great story. If you're into romantic suspense or just plain romance. It still has Ms. Grant's vivid characterizations, sizzling plot lines, and great pacing. It just has that burst of insta-love that readers who are NOT fans of romance will find too unrealistic to enjoy.
