“Present Danger” by Elizabeth Goddard


“Present Danger” by Elizabeth Goddard

This is book 1 of the brand new series called “Rocky Mountain Courage”. I have read many books by this author so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this new book and start a new series!

I enjoyed being taken into the world of artifacts and learning about the history and unfortunately the world of smuggling rare and lost historical pieces. Terra and and Jack were great characters and worked well together as they begin to investigate a murder in the national forest which leads them down a dark road.

Lots of suspense, drama, and adventure with twists and turns. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the next book!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue mission. He’s committed to finding the killer, even if it means working alongside his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors.

When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a deadly turn–one that hits too close to home. As Terra fears she lacks the courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect her. But he’s failed her before. And if he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts.

Join bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth Goddard as she plunges you into a web of deceit made of hidden crimes, open threats, and long-buried family secrets in this gripping first book of an explosive new series.

MY REVIEW

This book was so fun to read from beginning to end. Like Sophia I wanted to be upset with Evan because of the misunderstanding at the beginning of the book, but Evan was such a sweet likable character it was hard to stay mad at him for long.

His relationship with his fiancé Jamie was very complicated and as readers we find out the reason of their convenient engagement throughout the book. I loved seeing his sweet relationship with his special-needs brother Zeke. He was such a sweet, patient guy-always putting others first.

The main women characters were also great! Sophia was a successful party event planner. Jamie the fiancé was also likable even though she came across as no nonsense. Both were successful business women trying to make a name for themselves.

Lots of laughs and groans with all the extended family drama throughout this clean romance book. Highly recommend!

MY REVIEW

I have read several books by this author now and each one keeps getting better and better. I loved this story and especially the main characters Molly and Drew. I could totally relate to Molly in so many ways with her trying to balance work and family as a single mother, making her family a priority, and fighting for whats right.

Both were very likeable, relatable people which is rare for lawyers in my opinion. (I worked along side many different attorneys for years as a paralegal so I don’t have a high opinion of them anymore.) It was nice to see their work side and personal side through out the story.

I also liked reading about Drew’s family and their day to day city life. This story was fun to read, interesting plot with some drama and clean romance that kept my interest from beginning to end. I really, really enjoyed it!

No Stone Unturned JustRead Blog + Review Tour
Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for No Unturned Stone by David James Warren, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

The continuing adventures of Rembrandt Stone from the creative minds of James L. Rubart, Susan May Warren, and newcomer David Curtis Warren, writing collectively as David James Warren.

No Unturned StoneTitle: No Unturned Stone
Series: The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone #2
Author: David James Warren
Publisher: TriStone Media
Release Date: April 6, 2021
Genre: Time Travel Detective Series

The One Rule Is, Don’t Mess With The Past

But he did, and now ex-detective Rembrandt Stone is reaping the devastation of ignoring those words when he traveled back in time to solve the one case that had haunted his dreams.

Yes, he solved the crime. Yes, he saved lives. But Rembrandt returns to find the unthinkable has happened and his life has shattered.

There’s only one answer: break the rule again. Go back in time once more, fix what went wrong, save what went right, and yeah, in his spare time solve another brutal crime.

But it’s not so easy to change time, especially when time turns you into a target. And of course there’s the strong possibility if he goes again, he’ll never get back.

Get ready for your mind to be blown in Book 2 of the time-travel suspense series, The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone.

PURCHASE LINKS*: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

MY REVIEW

Book 1 ended with such a cliff hanger that I was counting down the weeks before I could read book 2. I highly recommend you read these books in order! There will be 6 total books in this time travel suspense series.

At the end of book 1 Detective Stone has returned to his present time, only to find out that  tragedy has touched his family and his life in ways he never imagined. Little did he know that changing the past would alter his future in that way.

The Detective is constantly haunted by cold cases and what he wished he could change; as well as his new regrets with changing the past which then changed this present life. He also struggles as to why his co worker gave him the time travel watch, which we find out more later in the story.  I really liked the Detective and also getting to know his wife Eve more in this second story.

I don’t typically read time travel books but because one of my favorite authors-Susan May Warren helped write these books-I know I needed to at least try them. I was hooked from the very beginning and can’t wait to continue reading this clean, suspenseful series! You won’t regret reading it!

MY REVIEW

I love reading a variety of Love Inspired Suspense books and have for years. I don’t typically read Amish fiction but decided to give this one a try.

I liked the main characters Faith and Eli, but I didn’t find the plot suspenseful or really even believable. For example, Faith is running from her brother in law who is a police officer and who has killed others; but yet she manages to escape him time after time even though she isn’t hiding very well or even protecting herself. It did not seem realistic to me at all.

Because of this I had a hard time getting into the story and enjoying it.

If you have read other books by this author or other Amish books, than you may like this even though I didn’t care for it.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
