Forgotten secrets. Forgotten lies. A family legacy…A determined killer.
On the outskirts of Singing River, Wyoming, a couple dies in a fire that ravages their remote mountain home. Everyone believes it’s a tragic accident—except FBI profiler Riley Lambert. She isn’t convinced, and neither is her fiancé, ex–Navy SEAL turned sheriff Thayne Blackwood. When they discover that the couple’s daughter is missing, Riley’s dark memories of her own sister’s kidnapping ratchet up the urgency to find the girl—before it’s too late.
Racing through a maze of deceit and a buried past, the pair find themselves under attack from an unknown assailant. Dodging danger, they follow a tangled web of clues pointing to a forgotten secret that Thayne’s Alzheimer’s-stricken grandmother holds dear. But when their deadly investigation veers too close to home and brings a twisted killer to Riley’s and Thayne’s doorsteps, can they save those they love and stop the murderer before time runs out?

Vikki’s Musings
Forgotten Legacy is the second book in Singing River Legacy series. I read the first one in this series a while ago and loved it. When I received an invitation from the publisher, via Net-Galley, to read and review, I eagerly accepted. My opinions are my own and are not influence in any way.
Robin Perini’s writing is thrilling, gritty and graphic at times. Forgotten Legacy exhibits all those characteristics, making it fast-paced, keeping me riveted throughout the entire book. I could not read fast enough!
Riley Lambert is an intriguing character. Her motivations are clear when it comes to her career goals, but cloudy regarding her romance. She’d torn between the driving force of her job with the FBI and her love for Thayne. She cares for her sister and feels a great deal of guilt regarding that sister’s kidnapping, which is what lead her to her career choice. Most of this is revealed in Forgotten Secrets, and while Forgotten Legacy can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading the first book if you want to understand all the dynamics of her relationship with Thayne and why she’s so torn.
Thayne Blackwood is a fantastic hero. He’s an ex-Navy SEAL who has given that career path up to become the sheriff in Singing River, when his father becomes too ill to handle the job, and for his Alzheimer’s-stricken grandmother who loses more of her faculties each day. His loyalty to his family is commendable. His grandmother’s character is engaging, and a huge asset to this series. His love for Riley is strong, and while he understands her conflict, his pain for what he fears will ultimately separate them, is gut-wrenching.
While Forgotten Legacy is heavy on the thriller aspect, the love story between Riley and Thayne is excellent. I truly ached for Thayne and wanted Riley to realize he is more important than her job. That part of the story is emotionally-charged and come through strongly.
If you enjoy novels with plenty of suspenseful scenes interwoven with a great love story, then you will love Forgotten Legacy. Hold onto your seat because it’s a thrilling ride! I hope this series continues because the characters are all amazing. Happy reading!
