Dangerous Christmas Investigation ~ Review

Dangerous Christmas Investigation 

Lone Star Defenders #1

By Virginia Vaughan

Deputy Sabrina Reagan is on a mission, and nothing is going to get in her way. She will bring down the man she blames for her brother's overdose, and threats won't stop her. Her grief and anger turned against the man she loved and planned a future with. Now Detective Jake Harris is back in town working undercover to bring down the same man that Sabrina is after.

But there is a little secret between them, a four-year-old son that Jake never knew about. Jake's reaction is understandable - shock, anger, and loss. But if the two of them can't work together and get past their feelings of betrayal, they may not live to see what the future holds for them.

Dangerous Christmas Investigation is the first book in Virginia Vaughan's Lone Star Defenders series. If you have read her in the past, you won't be disappointed in this newest offering. I have to be honest; Sabrina annoyed me. Her whole attitude was just out of proportion concerning Jake. She took risks and allowed herself to be blinded to other matters of importance in her drive to get justice. I do get it: grief made her respond in a certain way, and then she was left to live with the consequences of those moments. Overall, this was good series debut.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

K-9 Ranch Protection

Crisis Rescue Team #6

By Darlene L. Turner

Ten years ago, Austin Murray froze, costing Izzy Tremblay her best friend's life. Now, Austin may be Izzy's only hope of living and finding her father's killer. 

The killer knows Izzy is working unofficially to find the truth, and he has access to systems he shouldn't be able to touch. Now, he's using technology to help him track her. Worse he knows things about her that he shouldn't.

When an attack wipes three hours of memories from her brain, Izzy is left vulnerable. Could she have seen or done something that could bring a resolution to this case? Only time will tell if her perfect memory can be restored. If Austin can keep her safe. 

Determined to keep Izzy safe, Austin offers his ranch as a hideaway. What could be safer? Hidden away on a ranch with an ex-partner she hasn't had contact with for a decade and a barn full of K-9s in training. There is just one little problem - keeping their hearts safe. But this is Love Inspired Suspense so I'll let you draw your own conclusions in the heart department. 

Altogether, this is a good read. It doesn't contain any graphic material, which is how I like my books. So, if you love suspense that doesn't give you nightmares and romance that doesn't leave you feeling icky, give K-9 Ranch Protection a chance.

Excerpt:

Izzy observed the malamute. “She’s not a protection dog, right?”

“No, but she senses danger from the other two and likes you. I need to follow the dogs.
Evacuate.” Austin ran toward the station’s front office where Goose and Thor had headed.

“Not a chance.” Izzy followed with Névé at her heels.

Constables and HRPD’s civilian staff hustled to the exit. Their tortured expressions revealed
everyone’s horror. Izzy couldn’t remember a time when their station had been attacked in this
magnitude.

Was it all her fault?

Thor’s heightened bark cut off her thoughts.

Izzy hurried to catch up to the K-9s and Austin. She stepped inside the bullpen.

Thor sat a few feet away from a desk. Her desk.

“Thor, Goose, retreat!” Austin’s forceful commands stopped Izzy in her tracks.

It was then she noticed a backpack under her chair. A beeping filled the room, then intensified.
Izzy’s heartbeat slammed in her chest. The bomb was about to blow.

The K-9s bolted toward the entrance where Austin stood. He turned. “Get out!”

Beside her, Névé growled and latched on to her coat, tugging her back into the hallway. The
group scrambled to get away from the ticking time bomb.

They reached the exit and Austin thrust open the door, hauling her with him.

Seconds later a thunderous explosion rocked the building, sending debris pelting through the
station and out the shattered front glass doors.

The impact shoved Izzy to her knees on the snowy walkway. The attack revealed one thing.

None of them were safe.

Texas Ranch Cold Case ~ Review

Texas Ranch Cold Case
Cowboy Protectors #4
By Virginia Vaughan

The mystery of her mother's disappearance has defined Ally Fulton's life. The need to know the truth is driving her to discover it. Rumors say she ran off, abandoning Ally. If only Ally could remember what happened—she knows her mother is dead and somewhere on the Harmon family ranch. She blames the Harmon family for protecting their secrets and hiding the truth about what happened that day twenty years ago. 

Tucker Harmon never wanted to return to the family ranch. Not after his grandfather refused to help him and his mother, leaving him to the abusive hand of a step-father. Unfortunately, he's also avoided his cousins. But now he has no choice but to face the past.

As Tucker aids Ally in her quest for the truth, they discover that someone doesn't want the truth to come out. Worse, this elusive someone will silence her, and they don't care who else they must eliminate to keep the past firmly in the past.

But the deeper Tucker digs the more questions that are raised. Someone is lying, and until they know why, they will have to keep looking over their shoulders. Could the suspected murderer be someone they know? Or was it someone drifting through the area? Because if Ally is to be believed, her mother never left the Harmon ranch. 

This is the final book in the Cowboy Protectors series, which features the four Harmon cousins—cousins who all lost their fathers and were abandoned by their grandfather, Chet Harmon. This book touches on Chet's death and the secrets he took to the grave. This book offers plenty of suspense as the truth dangles in front of them just out of reach.  

If you love Romantic Suspense that isn't over-the-top in graphic anything (romance or violence), you'll want to read Virginia Vaughan's Texas Ranch Cold Case. This book is the perfect length for a HOT Summer weekend.

Hidden Mountain Secrets

Tunnel Creek #3

By Kerry Johnson

A mysterious death.

    A secluded mansion.

        This investigation could be fatal…

Brielle Holt was just supposed to handle the dispersal of the estate's antiques. Instead, she finds herself the target of a killer and she has no idea why. She'll need the help of Lucas Scott, CSI agent, and childhood friend if she hopes to stay alive long enough to figure out why. And she is not crushing on her former teenage crush, nope absolutely not, well maybe just a little. (He did save her life.)

Lucas is back in Tunnel Creek investigating a suspicious death. When his case seemingly crosses with the attack on Brielle, he is more than willing to help protect his best friend's little sister. What he didn't expect was to have feelings for her, a BIG NO-NO. She's his best friend's little sis, and he knows Jasper would object. 

But as the danger draws closer and the killer remains just out of reach Lucas will do everything to keep Brielle safe. He can't lose another woman he loves on his watch.

Hidden Mountain Secrets is a clean Romantic Suspense offering from Love Inspired Suspense. There isn't graphic anything so no late-night sleeplessness from nightmares just the excuse of one more chapter. After all one needs to know the who and why behind the attacks on Brielle. And whether or not Lucas and Brielle have the chance at a tomorrow together. Overall a good read, that, though this book 3 in a series, can easily be read as a standalone title.

Trapped in Yosemite ~ Review

Trapped in Yosemite

By Dana Mentink

It seemed like a simple job, help someone identify what was ailing his trees, but it soon became obvious it was something more when someone started shooting. Suddenly Stella Rivers is running for her life and into the presence of the man who broke her heart 18-months ago.

Yosemite National Park is in the midst of a major earthquake when Von Sharpe notices a vehicle driving in an area where it shouldn't. What he never imagined was that someone was attempting to kill the driver. Nor did he suspect that the intended victim was his ex-fiancée, Stella. And when he learns the secret Stella has been keeping, let's just say what drove them apart is readdressed and provides some new food for thought for them both.

The earthquake was just the first and the damages have trapped Stella and Von at MDWG along with the rest of the camp's staff and five campers. With no power, aftershocks, mudslides, floods, and blocked roads things could be worse. And when the killer again takes aim at Stella, they realize just how trapped and isolated they are. And even more concerning, how does the killer always seem to know where Stella is! 

Trapped in Yosemite is a suspense-filled read that is driven by secrets. And secrets are a powerful motivator to protect what you hold close. Powerful enough to kill for. This is also a book of second chances. And there are dogs, I mean who doesn't love having dogs in their books and when the dogs are also heroes, what could be better?

With so much already thrown into the mix, I admit it the killer wasn't who I was expecting out of the list of potential suspects.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

When a massive earthquake levels the region, secrets and unknown dangers are exposed…

The ground in still-icy Yosemite National Park isn’t stable, and K-9 handler Von Sharpe fears the worst. But his worries are pushed aside when he sees an SUV viciously forced off the road…with his ex-fiancée at the wheel. It’s only when Stella Rivers steps out of the vehicle that the very ground under their feet cracks and breaks with the onslaught of a terrifying earthquake. 

When her meeting with a mysterious client is ambushed, Stella witnesses the man being gunned down by a sniper and becomes a target herself. With the threat of aftershocks triggering landslides and floods, the new mom has no choice but to run to save her baby girl—even if it means teaming up with the man who has no idea he fathered her child.

Trapped in a dangerously unstable wilderness with a killer closing in, Von and Stella are running out of time to get to safety. And every fissure reveals a new secret that will shake them to their foundation…

Dangerous Texas Hideout

Cowboy Protectors #3

By Virginia Vaughan

Call it bad timing, but when Penny Jackson and her young daughter Missy get caught in a bank robbery, everything changes. Missy is the only witness who can identify the robbers and they are determined to keep her from testifying. What's worse, every time Penny begins to feel safe, someone finds them. But no more - she's going to do it her way as it seems even law enforcement can't keep her safe. 

Jessup, Texas, seemed a good out-of-the-way place to hide. Until they found her again! When Jessup Police Chief Caleb Harmon sees Penny and Missy barely escape a near hit-and-run, he gets involved. But how the criminals keep finding Penny and Missy keep finding them has him baffled.  

As Caleb fights to keep them safe, both Missy and Penny work their way into his heart. Can he keep them safe long enough to find out what is giving them away? 

This is the third book in the Cowboy Protectors series which features the Hanson cousins. Though part of a series this book can be read as a standalone title. Being part of the Love Inspired Suspense collection you are guaranteed a clean-read and a satisfying conclusion. And as anyone who has read the previous books it is time for Caleb to get his chance at love while sharing his story in this was a well-paced, suspense-filled read that will keep you turning the pages.

Deadly Yellowstone Secrets ~ Review

Deadly Yellowstone Secrets

By Kari Trumbo

Rumors have a way of getting some of the truth right. And Yellowstone's say someone on the inside is helping poachers. And when a poacher hunting one of the bears Tamala Roth is studying sees her, she suddenly becomes his newest target. 

Yellowstone Ranger Clint Jackson is determined to stop the hunter who has made the national park his hunting grounds. And to do that he'll have to keep Naturalist Tamala Roth safe. But Tamala can't identify her hunter, but there is something about him-something familiar. 

As Clint and Tamala fight to stay alive and ahead of the poachers their efforts are hindered by an incoming blizzard. Can they survive and discover who is desperate enough to brave a blizzard to silence her? And who do they trust?

Deadly Yellowstone Secrets definitely keeps the suspense going full force and I loved how there was this natural distrust between the rangers and the naturalists. This played well into the poachers' hands while adding an additional unknown into the mix. This is part of the Love Inspired Suspense Inspirational Romance series which means this is a clean read so no gory, graphic details to keep you up at night. And the romance is sweet. Overall, this is a highly recommended book in my opinion.

Hunting the Witness ~ Review

Hunting the Witness

By Kate Angelo

When Belinda Lewis stopped a serial killer from his last attempt, she became the only witness to see his face. Now he's hunting her. And if not for an undercover FBI Special Agent hiding out nearby, she would now be his latest victim.

Ordered to lay low when his description matches that of a killer, Jonah Phillips just happens to be in the right place to save a woman from a certain death. But the attack left her with no memory of who she is or who left her for dead. Can they stay ahead of a killer who will do anything to protect his identity?

Hunting the Witness takes the reader on an exciting read that continues to add to the suspense as an unexpected twist is thrown into the middle of everything. This is a clean read that doesn't have any graphic anything so the reader can enjoy all of the suspense and tension such books offer while not getting put off by the content.  I enjoyed this book and was pleased with how Kate Angelo wove the story together so that the characters had dimension and the story progressed at a good pace without feeling forced.

Mountain Abduction Rescue is another late-night page-turner from the Love Inspired Suspense series that keeps you awake because you need to know what comes next and not because the book is filled with graphic imagery that haunts your dreams.

 Cougars, and killers, and fires, Oh my! Page-turning excitement in this race to discover the truth and stop a killer. A can't-be-missed all-nighter is coming your way with this read!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I should provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Ranch Showdown ~ Review

Welcome to the Blog Tour for 

Ranch Showdown by Tina Wheeler, 

hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

 Ranch Showdown

 By Tina Wheeler

 Sierra Lowery comes home to an intruder, an intruder determined to take her young nephew. Worse, the intruder is her sister's ex, and he wants the information her sister took - information implicating him. And she has 48 hours to find and deliver the documents or he'll make his threats a reality.

 Detective Cole Walker is the man who comes when the police are called. But Cole is the last person Sierra wants on her case because she broke his heart years ago when she left him. But he is also the one person she totally trusts to keep her and Danny safe.

As danger follows her, Sierra is given a second chance to rethink her excuse for not staying with Cole - the danger of his job. When danger comes so close to her because of ill-advised decisions on her sister's part, her reasoning just may have been off.  

Ranch Showdown is another late-night page-turner from the Love Inspired Suspense series that keeps you awake because you need to know what comes next and not because the book is filled with graphic imagery that haunts your dreams. The suspense of wondering just what happened to Sierra's sister and her menacing ex-boyfriend kicks this one off into action right from the beginning, so if you are a fan of instant peril, this is a book for your TBR pile!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion in a timely manner. All thoughts expressed are my own.
