Cover Your Eyes, the first novel in the series, follows the adventures of Deke Morgan and Rachel Wainwright.
When readers first meet her, Rachel is a public defender who spends her days helping people that were wrongly convicted of crimes.
Deke and Rachel meet when the public defender decides that a man who was incarcerated for the murder of a country artist decades ago is innocent.
Deke is reluctant to take Rachel seriously primarily because his father worked with the team that caught Jeb Jones. The conviction practically made his career.
Deke will do anything to protect his father’s legacy. However, when a new string of murders begins to dog Nashville, Deke has no choice but to contemplate Rachel’s claims of Jeb’s innocence.
Together, they will fall in love and find a demented killer.
Even though Cover Your Eyes specifically tells the story of Deke and Rachel, this series is called Morgans of Nashville because the Morgan family takes center stage in every story told within this collection.
Deke Morgan takes the lead in the first novel. But readers are also introduced to Georgia Morgan, his sister and a forensic expert working for the Nashville Police department.
Georgia returns in the sequel. But this time, the spotlight shifts away from Deke and elevates Rick Morgan, Deke’s brother, and a Nashville Metro Homicide Detective, to the position of the protagonist.
The third book concerns itself with Alex Morgan, a member of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations while the fourth novel finally gives Georgia the spotlight.
Every member of the Morgan family that gets a mention in the series is a respected member of the law enforcement fraternity.
The books are described as romantic suspense but most readers believe that the series would be better categorized as crime thriller.
The romance aspect is important to each story that the author tells. Each novel has a hero and heroine that are drawn into one another’s worlds either by a case or a threat to one of their lives.
One of the protagonists, either the hero or the heroine, is always a member of the Morgan family. Over time, as they clash and bond, an attraction grows between them.
And this attraction definitely impacts the story. However, for the most part, these novels place more emphasis on the mystery aspect of each story, the nature of the villain, and the procedures that must be followed to solve the case.
The books are quite fast-paced. This is despite the fact that Mary Burton goes out of her way to build suspense.
