Ratings and reviews

Alma and Cree have many obstacles to overcome. Both in their relationship and in the search for a serial bomber and murderer. Ms. Severn creates characters and settings that are beautifully and frighteningly realistic. There is a lot of action and character interactions. It is part of a series but can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I am loving this series and can't wait for the next book!!

This book was fantastic. It’s light on the romance but makes up for it with pulse pounding action. It starts with a literal bang and just gets better. I loved the slow burn between the two main characters. Alma and Cree were two people secure in who they were, intelligent, confident and mature. And the action just seemed to be nonstop. I never felt like the story dragged. More like it dragged me along on an exciting adventure I was more than happy to take with the author. Highly recommended.

Dead On Arrival is a spectacular romantic suspense by Nichole Severn. Ms. Severn has provided readers with a well-written book. The characters are fantastic and make this book into a read you can't put down. Cree has retreated to Battle Mountain from his bomb tech job in another county after being caught in a blast. Alma loved her job as an archeologist but it brought her abuse from her husband, now on her first night as a police officer she finds a woman with a bomb sewn to her. Alma and Cree's

About the author

Nichole Severn writes romantic suspense with strong heroines, heroes who dare challenge them, and a hell of a lot of guns. When she’s not writing, she’s injuring herself running and practicing yoga.
