Review: On the Line (Out of Line #7) by Jen McLaughlin

Welcome to my book blog!  It is my pleasure to feature On the Line by Jen McLaughlin!

Coming home… I’ve hated Ben Rollins ever since he broke my heart in high school. I’ve never fully recovered from it…even though I ran away as far as I could. Now I’ve returned home, fleeing something worse than I could have ever imagined. When our Captain partners us up together, I’m forced to realize that what I feel for him isn’t hate at all. It’s far worse. Second chances… Sarah’s the one who got away. She never really explained her abrupt departure from my life, but to be honest, I no longer give a damn. What we’d once had was dead, and now I’m stuck with her at my side permanently, no matter how I feel about it. But when the truth comes out, and old secrets are unburied, being thrown together becomes so much more than a second chance…it becomes life or death. And we have no intention of losing.

My thoughts:

This is a wonderfully fast read; a great love story. 
I started reading Jen McLaughlin books by reading book 6 - I'll be Home for Christmas - and fell in love with the characters, thus clinching what I am now calling "The Jen McLaughlin Marathon" because I absolutely must know more about all of these fantastic people she has created.  So now that I have read books 6 & 7, I plan to go back and start at the beginning and read books 1 - 5.
Now - more about this book...
The chapters are short, the pace is fast and the emotions are high! 
Ben and Sarah are both broken hearted. 
Sarah has become a police officer, she believes she hates Ben for breaking her heart and has returned to their hometown after 10 years - with secrets; one that threatens to overwhelm her, and one that threatens to kill her. 
Ben has followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a police officer, he still loves Sarah and is still baffled by why she ran away, but fears he will never again be with her. 
Ben's dad is the police chief and harboring anger at Sarah for breaking his son's heart, partners them up on the force - ensuring they will be together with no possible chance of ever being "together".
So...you have the past crashing into the present and threatening the future. 
The author takes you on a rollercoaster ride of turmoil, drama and a good dose of fear as Ben and Sarah come to terms with what happened in the past and the realization that they want a future. 
Enter the villian, Vinnie, the ex-boyfriend with a possessive streak and a violent side...
What would you do for the love of your life?  Would you risk it all?
When love and life are On the Line...what happens...who wins...what become of our fearless Ben and our victim turned survivor Sarah?  You have to read to find out!   Enjoy the ride!
