She Can Kill (She Can... #5) by Melinda Leigh

Reformed assassin Cristan Rojas just wants to raise his daughter in peace. But after twelve years on the run, he learns that even the quiet little town of Westbury, Pennsylvania, has many hidden dangers. Although he can’t shake the feeling he’s under surveillance, Cristan’s attraction to Sarah Mitchell continues to grow, as do his concerns that his secret past could jeopardize anyone who gets too close to him.
Sarah is ready to start her life over with her children, a new job, and a budding romance. Her newfound happiness is threatened when her ex-husband becomes increasingly violent—and she soon learns her ex isn’t the only person stalking her.
Cristan fears someone from his past has arrived in town, someone far worse than a jealous ex. Someone who may be responsible for a brutal—and unsolved—murder a dozen years ago. To protect Sarah and his daughter, he must shine a light into the darkest recesses of his nightmarish past.

Review: I was given an ARC of She Can Kill from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
This was another excellent addition to Melinda Leigh's She Can series which seems to get better with each new book. This book focused around Sarah who had to deal with her crazy ex husband who was not ready to let her go and Cristan who was on the run from his past. So the book had a bit of double angst going on, but the true mystery was who was trying to kill Cristan.
This book was definitely filled with a lot of action. I also was pleased with being unsure of who was really behind the threats towards Cristan and his daughter until the end of the book. I also want to give props to the author for revealing everything that took place twelve years ago that led to them going after Cristan and his daughter and not leaving any unanswered questions at the end of the book about anything. I am not sharing for spoilers but that was nice to know all.
The match between Sarah and Cristan was also nice. It moved a bit slow but that were a nice pairing for this book. It was also nice to see a marriage of Rachel and Mike from the last book.
I am giving this book five out of five stars.
