“Deadly Intentions” by Lisa Harris
This story had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Lots of suspense, drama, and an interesting plot with great characters!

I liked how Caitlyn and Detective Josh work together to figure out the deaths of their colleagues and loved ones. Not knowing who to trust, even on the police force, make it difficult to work on their case and gather enough evidence to find the real killers.

I really enjoyed this thrilling story! Great christian suspense!

About the Book:
Research scientist Caitlyn Lindsey is convinced that someone is taking out her team one by one. First, a friend and research partner was killed in a home invasion. Three months ago, her boss died in a suspicious car accident. Four days ago, another partner supposedly committed suicide. And now Caitlyn herself has miraculously survived a hit-and-run. Afraid for her life with nowhere to turn, she reaches out to one of the victim’s husbands, Detective Josh Solomon.

Though initially skeptical about Caitlyn’s theory, Josh soon realizes that the attack that took his wife’s life was anything but random. Now the two of them must discover the truth about who is after Caitlyn’s team–and what their end game is–before it’s too late.

In this nail-biting thriller, award-winning author Lisa Harris will have you believing that there’s no such thing as random.

“The Killing Tide” (Coastal Guardians) by Dani Pettrey

This book was incredible! Lots of heart pounding suspense and action and from beginning to end. Clean romance between Finn and Gabby throughout the story. I couldn’t put the book down!

I was immediately drawn in by the story line and interesting characters. I was somewhat frustrated by Gabby and her lack of judgement sometimes which made her an easy target. I can not relate to wanting to investigate a story or solve a crime so much that my life doesn’t matter. I also felt like at times she was leading Finn on like she had done in the past-knowing she liked him and was drawn physically to him; but not wanting to invest in a relationship or jeopardize her own character path. She wasn’t my favorite character because of that.

I really liked reading about the Coast Guard officers and some of their rescues and day to day obligations. I especially liked Finn and Noah (Gabby’s brother). They both took their jobs seriously and with protecting their family members and loved ones.

I hope there will be more “Coastal Guardian” books! I really enjoyed it!!

About the Book:
When one Coast Guard officer is found dead and another goes missing, Coast Guard Investigative Service special agent Finn Walker faces his most dangerous crime yet. His only clues are what little evidence remains aboard the dead officer’s boat, and the direction the clues point to will test Finn and the Guard to their limits.

When investigative reporter–and Finn’s boss’s sister–Gabby Rowley arrives, her unrelenting questions complicate an already volatile situation. Now that she’s back, the tug on Finn’s heart is strong, but with the risks she’s taking for her next big story, he fears she might not live through it.

Thrown together by the heinous crime, Finn and Gabby can’t ignore the sparks or judgments flying between them. But will they be able to see past their preconceptions long enough to track down an elusive killer, or will they become his next mark?

The Bull Rider’s Secret (Colorado Grooms #3) by Jill Lynn

I read Colorado Grooms book #2 earlier this year and loved it so I was thrilled to read an early copy of this book #3. I loved the main character Mackenzie and her strong character, her love for the ranch, and for helping others. I could feel the emotions and heartache leap thru the pages when Jace and Mackenzie tried talking about the past and their emotional breakup. I loved reading more about Emma and Gage from book 2 and the other family and town members.

Clean romance and great characters full of love, laughter and tears as they work thru regret and forgiveness. I really enjoyed reading it!

MY REVIEW:
I loved this sweet romance story involving Mike, Ruby and Jason. I loved reading about their town and their high school memories and growing up. It was so tragic how a past mistake affected so many lives for so many years.

I loved reading how Mike and Ruby try to help Jason with his traumatic past and examples with how therapy was working and the things they did as parents/adults to help a child cope with loss.

Great story line, great characters, clean romance… I can’t wait to read more about this town and hopefully the town’s progress over the series of stories. I really enjoyed it!
