Dangerous Christmas Investigation (Lone Star Defenders, 1) by Virginia Vaughan

Dangerous Christmas Investigation (Lone Star Defenders, 1)
ABOUT THE BOOK

An undercover mission…

turns into a fight for survival.

Agreeing to take his late twin brother’s place in an undercover DEA operation reunites detective Jake Harris with a familiar face—and throws him into the line of fire. After he and his ex-girlfriend, Deputy Sabrina Reagan, survive a drive-by shooting, they’ll have to work together to capture a merciless drug trafficker. But when a price is placed on her head, Jake discovers Sabrina has a secret—his four-year-old son. With armed criminals out for blood, can Jake dismantle this drug operation to protect the family he didn’t know he had?



MY THOUGHTS.....

Virginia Vaughan is a master at writing nail-biting, heart-pounding suspense and this book is a perfect example. Dangerous Christmas Investigation begins with Christmas carols playing on Sabrina Reagan's car radio but her Christmas anticipation soon turns to fear and dismay. An altercation and a warning regarding her son thrusts Sabrina into a terror-filled race to escape a powerful drug ring!

Twists, turns, secrets, and surprises. Faith, forgiveness, and second chances. I couldn't stop turning the pages of this captivating story and I look forward to the next book in the Lone Star Defenders series. I recommend Dangerous Christmas Investigation to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. there was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rediscovering Christmas (Hope Crossing, 6) by Mindy Obenhaus

Rediscovering Christmas: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance (Hope Crossing, 6)
ABOUT THE BOOK

She feels she’s lost everything…

Will love give her hope?

When a wildfire destroys her home, widowed schoolteacher Tori Stallings finds herself unexpectedly living with her mother- and brother-in-law—and struggling with her faith. With everything Tori owns consumed by the blaze, Micah vows to help his late brother’s wife and son rebuild their lives. The two of them have always been friends, but living under the same roof has their friendship turning into something more. Can love bloom amid tragic loss and shaken beliefs, and give them a fresh start for Christmas?




MY THOUGHTS.....

Loss and grief had visited Tori Stallings before but seeing her family home burn to the ground seemed to be the final straw. Her faith was shattered, her anger burned strong, and she seemed uncertain how to go on!

Author Mindy Obenhaus takes us back to Hope Crossing for a touching story of hope lost and joy regained. I loved the support that Tori received from her late husband's mother and brother, the special bond that grew between Tori's son, Aiden, and his Uncle Micah, and Tori's realization that God hadn't deserted her...she had deserted Him! Rediscovering Christmas is a heartwarming story filled with hope, faith, and love! It is a perfect Christmas read!
