I loved this romantic suspense adventure from Katy Lee. Danger lurks right from the start – Hunter Shelton and his search and rescue bloodhound arrive at a crime scene only to discover that his ex-fiancé has been murdered. But things get worse when he realizes her young daughter is missing – and it might be his daughter. He calls in DEA Agent Marlee Price to help him track the child down. But Marlee has her own problems because a drug dealer has put a hit out on her.

This book is chock full of action, suspense, and danger. But the characters are incredibly likable. Marlee is strong but needs to face her past. Hunter still regrets so many of his past choices as well. I love the second chances romance theme along with the spiritual message of forgiveness and letting go.

The narration for the audiobook was amazing! I think the narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life.

What could be creepier than being stuck on a mountain during an avalanche with a killer on the loose?

Whiteout brings you two stories connected by a dangerous avalanche. In Buried in Shadows by Dani Pettrey, a ski party goes awry when everyone is trapped. Cassandra Parker is now stuck with her ex that she left at the altar…but a the killer is trapped with them. Which means the killer is someone they all know.

In Snowbound Secrets by Lynette Eason, Maya Sullivan faces her past when her high school crush steps up to protect her from a killer.

I love stories where characters are trapped. Nowhere to go, but the danger runs high. Fast-paced and intense, both of these stories had me on the edge of my seat. I received a review copy of the audiobook, and the narrator did a good job of matching the intensity of the story. I recommend the audio book for total immersion!

When Justice Comes is the conclusion of the three book series in the Tupelo Grove series. I do recommended reading the series in order, but feel free to live your live in chaos and jump in the middle. But you may miss some things.

This story brings a custody battle to the forefront. Hez and Savannah get ready to fight the Willard family for custody of her nephew, Simon. But danger lurks on every page, and there are a myriad of possible suspects. Who has the most to gain from silencing Hez and gaining Simon’s trust?

I’m convinced Colleen Coble and Rick Acker write in their own genre! This to me is a total family drama more than a romantic suspense, although there’s plenty of suspense to go around. Coble dives deep into family dynamics while Acker lends his legal knowledge to the plot. With two feuding families, an untrustworthy father, a blackmail scheme, dealing with loss, and the custody dispute, the characters deal with all the emotional fallout. I love the entire series! It’s kept me hooked, and I love the collaboration between Coble’s family drama style and Acker’s legal thriller. It’s a nice mix. I’m a little sad the series is ending.

I listened to the audiobook and it’s fantastic. Great narration and it definitely adds to the story to listen to it.

Deadly Rodeo Threat by Sami A. Abrams is an explosive, run from danger story. Isabelle Sinclair is determined to find her missing friend, and so is Logan Russell. He’s back in town to track down his missing twin. But when Isabelle is attacked, he steps in to help her investigate.

I love this story! From the danger to the romance, this story has everything I love. Working dogs, action, a great spiritual message, danger, second chance at romance, military men, a woman sheriff, and a serial killer on the loose. The story is fast-paced and digs deep. You’ll root for Isabelle and the crime is super creepy! If you like a fast moving story that has a strong message of hope and redemption, look no further than Deadly Rodeo Threat.

Hunting a Killer by Sarah Varland gives readers so many plot twists along with working dogs, amnesia, and second chances at love. Finn McDaniel faces off with a killer, but sustains a head injury. He knows who the serial killer is, but he can’t remember. Jordyn Williams discovers the injured Finn and works to help solve the case with her cadaver dog, Cipher.

I love a good amnesia story! And Finn and Jordyn have a history which makes their encounter full of drama and emotions. They get a second chance as they team up to hunt the killer. The same killer that took Finn’s sister’s life years ago. The story is fast-paced but with heart. The audio narrator did a great job of keeping me engaged. And of course, I love Cipher! If you like drama, action, and a good “who dunnit” storyline, be sure to grab your copy of Hunting a Killer.

Susan May Warren is back with a whole new series. And it comes with everything you expect: wilderness, danger, heart-warming characters, romance, a hunky hero, and a dog named Caspian that steals the show.

Keely Williams is on a mission  in Alaska to find her biological mother. But when her plane is hijack, she’s stranded in a blizzard. Enter Dawson Mulligan, former police officer, to the rescue.

Be prepared for all the drama and action you can handle. Plane crashes, fires, and blizzards bring Keely and Dawson together. But they couldn’t be more opposite. She’s secretly a pop star named Bliss, and Dawson has enough emotional baggage to keep him sideline from love. But when you’re on the run from killers in the wilds of Alaska, emotional bonds are formed. Keely finds herself in love with Alaska, the people around her, and of course, Dawson Mulligan. And bonus, Susan May Warren always has characters from her prior series making cameos. Fans of SMW will be so happy.

I loved the audio narrator! Brian Hutchinson is my new favorite narrator. He had great pacing and I enjoyed the narration.

The Lies We Trade by Kristine Delano  is the book I’ve been waiting for! I’ve wanted good, clean thrillers – from domestic thrillers to psychological thrillers and find them hard to come by.  This domestic thriller hits all the marks for me – suspense, intrigue, and a relatable main character working against all odds to right wrongs and bring justice to life, without the profanity or questionable scenes that a lot of thrillers tend to favor.

Meredith Hansel seems to have the perfect life. She’s a hit on Wall Street with her EFT fund she managers and becomes her investment firm’s VIP. Until her assistant sends her information that shows her investments are compromised. Now someone goes after her family in an effort to silence her.

I love the suspense elements of this book. Readers get to piece together the mystery right along with the main character, and anyone could be the culprit. I like that the author incorporated her own Wall Street experience into this thriller. It lends creditability and intrigue to the story. The plot is well laid out to draw readers in with twists and turns that pay off in the end.

Be sure to check out this debut release in January!

Scent of Sabotage by Dana Mentink gives readers one thrilling ride. Beth Wolfe never dreamed she’d meet the son she put up for adoption when she was a teenager, but nothing could prepare for her ex to show up saying their son is in trouble. Together they get trapped in a creepy amusement park, trying to escape killers while they try to rescue their son and his finance’.

I love this second chance/reunion trope. Usually stories don’t center around older main characters, but Beth’s kids are all grown and she reconnects with her first love, Jack St. James. I also love the interesting reunion between Beth and her son – not your typical reuniting story. The action and suspense were fantastic. I listened to the audio version and the narrator did a decent job of bringing the characters to life. Definitely a novel you’ll want to binge read from start to finish.

Christmas K-9 Patrol gives readers novellas from two great authors – Lynette Eason and Lenora Worth. In Deadly Christmas Trap, Lynette brings readers a cold case in the cold of winter. Cheyenne Chen uncovers a deadly secret in the woods, and Jack Donadio steps in to protect her. In Dangerous Holiday Manhunt, US Marshal Lorelai Danvers gets stranded in a snowstorm while on an investigation and winds up in a manhunt with Drake Corbin. Someone is on his ranch and wants him dead.

Both stories are action-packed and full of danger, drama, and romance. I’ve not read anything by Lenora Worth, and love that her hero is a little bit older. But she really knows how to bring the drama! And Lynette’s stories never fail to entertain and keep you guessing who the bad guy is until the very end. If you need bingeable reads this holiday season, definitely check out Christmas K-9 Patrol.

Maverick Shawn and his K-9 human remains detection dog, Wolf, try to solve a cold case that’s tied to Violet’s secret past – a past she didn’t even know about.

I love the mistaken identity trope! This story has it all: danger, intrigue, a cold case, working dogs, long-lost twins, and romance. The characters have lots of heart and plenty of drama to keep readers flipping pages. Be sure to check out Trail of Mountain Secrets.
