Texas Cowboy Protector (Thunder Ridge Justice) by Connie Queen

Texas Cowboy Protector (Thunder Ridge Justice)
ABOUT THE BOOK

Secrets from the past…

and a child in peril.

Sawyer Cantrell never expected to thwart a kidnapping, much less save the son of his ex-fiancĂ©e. Texas Ranger Mallory Foster is back in Cedar Hollow to clear her late brother’s name of murder, but someone is determined to stop her. Narrowly evading the gunmen on their trail, Sawyer insists on helping investigate the case that broke up their engagement. But when Mallory reveals that Sawyer is her child’s father, the stakes grow even higher. With an unknown enemy willing to murder again to keep the past buried, can Sawyer and Mallory survive long enough to uncover the real killer?




MY THOUGHTS.....

What could be worse than having your car blown up? How about the attempted kidnapping of your little boy? Texas Ranger Mallory Foster's return to Cedar Hollow turns into a frantic race to protect her son and stay safe herself while solving three cold-case murders. She came back to clear her late brother's name, but she surely didn't think she would need help from her ex-fiancé, and she definitely didn't plan for her long-kept secret to be revealed!

Author Connie Queen fills this fast-paced drama with unanswered questions, hold-your-breath danger, and emotional turmoil. Intriguing characters, a well-constructed plot, and a second-chance romance make this a totally satisfying read! Texas Cowboy Protector checks off all of my boxes for captivating Christian suspense. I loved every minute of it!

I received a complimentary copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Danger in the Rockies (Colorado K-9 Unit, 3) by Terri Reed

Danger in the Rockies (Colorado K-9 Unit, 3)
ABOUT THE BOOK

A K-9 team’s investigation

leads to a deadly case of mistaken identity.

K-9 officer Maren Anderson is shocked when she catches a glimpse of her presumed-dead twin sister—moments before a shooter opens fire. DEA agent Colt Dawson rescues her and helps secure the crime scene, but before Maren can find her sister, Opal vanishes again. Maren has questions and so does Colt—especially since Opal may be the key to exposing a drug kingpin’s identity. But now the cartel leader’s henchmen think Maren is her sister and she has a target on her back. Forced to work together to unravel the deadly mystery, Maren and Colt must track down her twin before the criminals closing in claim their lives…






MY THOUGHTS.....

Grab this book if you're a fan of danger and adventure, because the non-stop action begins in the opening pages! An investigation of an illegal adoption ring sends K9 officer Maren Anderson to a suspected OB/GYN clinic. What she doesn't expect in this visit is a frantic attempt to dodge bullets and a shocking view of her "presumed dead twin sister" fleeing the crime scene. Her rescue by DEA Agent Colt Dawson introduces her to even more danger! He is trying to capture the leader of a drug ring, and multiple clues point to Maren's sister, Opal. Is it possible that the missing key to Colt's investigation may be held by someone who looks just like Maren?

The intriguing characters and thrilling plot kept me turning the pages, but best-selling author Terri Reed didn't stop there. A glimpse of Maren and Colt's past experiences offered depth to the story, and their realistic emotions created the perfect conflict. Could they overcome their doubts and trust their hearts? I loved the romantic tension and the faith that's woven into their story. Inspiring faith, but never preachy...one of Reed's trademarks! And I can't forget two loyal canine protectors, Haven and Rusk!

I recommend Danger in the Rockies for fans of heartwarming but thrilling romantic Christian suspense.

I received a complimentary ARC from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my opinions alone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
