It was a hotly contested senatorial race, and Matthew Strong’s unexplained decision to withdraw piqued Raven Mahoney’s interest. This could be just the story to guarantee her success as a TV journalist, particularly since their past relationship increased the likelihood that Matthew would level with her.
It seemed things had changed dramatically in the Strong family–the existence of Matthew’s adopted daughter surprised Raven and raised uneasy questions. Or was this investigation just an excuse to ignore her questions about her own parentage? Even as Raven checked out the single father’s story, someone was checking hers out, as well. And the closer their rekindled friendship grew, the closer Raven was coming to danger.

Summary
Overall Betrayal of Trust is a clean romantic suspense story by Tracey Bateman. I honestly was not sure I would like this story. I typically do not like stories where people hide their motives and not a big fan of reporters. The author did a great job of making the characters likable and helped us understand their motives. I had not read the other books in the series and was still able to follow the story just fine. The story opens with a great suspenseful scene that I wasn’t expecting. Matt unexpectedly withdraws for running from the Senate when everyone thinks he will be the winner. Raven is a reporter for a local station and is fighting for the anchor position. Her competition is the owner’s young daughter. Raven has to decide what lengths will she go to in order to get a story. Raven was once engaged to Matt and broke it off for unknown reasons to Matt. Raven ‘runs’ into Matt at the gym and their relationship is reignited. She has a good relationship with her sisters and I really enjoyed the scene where she called Denni and they talked through her issues. Matt and Raven have to figure out who is sending Matt notes and stalking his adopted daughter.
Violence Someone is stalking the girl, someone gets kidnapped. Nothing disturbing.
