Book Review: Two Reasons to Run by Colleen Coble
If I had to name my top 5 favorite authors, Colleen Coble wood be on the list. I am such a huge fan of her books! Her newest book Two Reasons to Run is going on my list of favorite reads of 2020!
I read the first book in the Pelican Harbor Series, One Little Lie, and was literally shocked when the story ended. I was not prepared for the cliffhanger!
Suffice it to say, I was very excited for the second book!

Summary
In Two Reasons to Run Police Chief Jane Hardy is still picking up the pieces from the scandal that rocked her small town, as well as her department. She’s finally been reunited with her son, Will, but things are rocky between her and Will’s dad, Reid.
When a citizen comes to Jane and and says her son has disappeared from his job on a drilling rig, Jane investigates. She’s surprised to see Reid on the platform as well.
Reid received information from the missing man that he suspected someone wants to blow up the rig. Reid offers to help Jane with her investigation since he may be able to get information she can’t get in his job as a TV documentor.
Someone doesn’t want Jane to investigate the threat to the rig, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep her occupied elsewhere. Even if it means taking her son.
Two Reasons to Run Review
If you want a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat on every page, Two Reasons to Run is the book you want to read. There are enough twists and turns that even I couldn’t guess the ending. (And that’s saying something, because I usually can!)
The mystery and adventure is great, and intriguing. But I also enjoyed getting to read more of the story of Jane and Reid. Their trip to try to find out more about their families was one of my favorite parts. I really liked where they were headed in their relationship, but that ending though…
I like that Colleen explores a lot of different relationships and struggles in her books. As a mom I can relate to Jane and her desire to be with Will and protect him. I can also understand her confusion (and let’s face it, animosity) towards Reid.
If you’ve read One Little Lie, you know that Jane has issues with her father. It’s a tough and interesting situation. I can’t wait to see how it develops more in the next book of the series, Three Missing Days.
The one problem with snatching up a book as soon as it comes out is the wait for the next installment! Three Missing Days won’t be released until next spring, and I’m not sure how I’ll wait.
The Pelican Harbor Series is so good. As a longtime fan of Colleen Coble, I think is one of her best series yet. I’m really excited to read the conclusion–but, man, I don’t want it to end!
