Silent Menace gives readers a fantastic suspense story filled with plot twists galore. Hailey Nieland struggles at work taking on new cases as a CPA. But when the numbers don’t add up, the threats roll in. And security guard Peter Lewis steps in as her protector.

I loved this entire series, and some of the characters from books 1 and 2 make appearances (although this can be read as a standalone.)  This story has everything I love: main characters on the run, a hero ready to overcome his past mistakes to step up when it counts, a complex crime, and heartwarming (and sometimes quirky) characters. The story has plenty of plot twists and having the story revolve around corporate crimes is a nice change of pace from your typical romantic suspense stories.

I highly recommend the entire series if you are a fan of romantic suspense.

Scent of Peril by Darlene L. Turner gives readers relentless danger as the story starts with a child abduction. Constable Taylor Grand jumps into action to find a missing and endangered child. The father turns out to be Wyatt Hoyt, her ex boyfriend. His son is in danger, and she steps up to help with the investigation. But Wyatt and his son are targets of an underground weapons smuggling ring and the bad guys keep coming.

I loved the non-stop action and danger. These bad guys are relentless, and Wyatt and Taylor put their personal feelings aside to keep Wyatt’s son Levi safe. But the forced proximity dredges up old feelings, and Taylor starts to think she made a mistake by leaving Wyatt years ago. The story is fast-paced but has depth and heart. If you love run-for-your life danger, you will want to get your copy of Scent of Peril. Darlene Turner is a master at writing romantic suspense -it’s the perfect mix of suspense and romance.

Last to Fall by Lynn H. Blackburn is the last book in the Gossamer Falls series. And this is the one fans were waiting for. Bronwyn Pierce and Mo Quinn have hated each other for two books, but have enough chemistry between them to burn down the entire town.

This story dives into the past. What happened between these two? But when Bronwyn is a target and her company is in jeopardy, Mo refuses to leave her side.

I love this entire series. It has heart, second chances, loveable characters, and some incredible scenery. I love stories with a close-knit community and small-town feel. And of course, I’m a big fan of the danger, suspense, and action.

Be sure to check out the entire Gossamer Falls series.

Targeted in the Swamp by Kerry Johnson is my new favorite book! I showed up for the suspense and stayed for the heart-warming characters.

Laurel Bell’s witness protection cover is blown. Police sergeant Heath Calhoun steps in to protect her, and they go on the run trying to escape the bad guys who will stop at nothing to kill Laurel.

I love the fast-paced energy of this book. Another trope I love is when two characters just meet and are thrown together to outrun danger and stay alive – what is that even called? Love at first sight? A hero protector?  But throw in a raging river, caves, and relentless bad guys and I’m 100% hooked.

The entire Forest Ranger Rescue series is only of my favorites. Be sure to check out the previous books.

Raging Waters by Dana Mentink is a non-stop adventure. The Elements of Danger series is all about the natural disasters. Last book was a volcano erupting, but in Raging Waters, the dam is about to break. Mackenzie Bardine and Gideon Landry are thrown together – too bad they’ve been enemies for some time after the death of Mackenzie’s brother. Zee will stop at nothing to vindicate her brother’s death, but the more she learns about his cold case, the more danger tries to shut her down.

I love run-for-your-life suspense. Mackenzie and Gideon are outrunning flooding waters and bad guys with guns.  The book starts off with amazing plot twists – right in the first chapter. Mackenzie is a strong-willed character, and maybe a bit too focused on her mission to resolve her brother’s murder, but I love the transformation as she lets go of her agenda. I definitely love a good character arc.

Be sure to check out Raging Waters for a wild and intense ride!

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!

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.

Book two in the Sanctuary series brings more danger, drama, and suspense than the first!

Prowl by Colleen Coble follows the story of an animal sanctuary owned by Blake Lawson. After discovering someone dead in the tiger enclosure, he uncovers a sinister plot – someone wants to steal the land from him. He’s still trying to find his footing with his relationship with Paradise Alden, but she consumed with finding her newly discovered brother.

I’m here for the drama! I love stories with complex plots, hidden danger, and hopeless, against-all-odds situations. Blake is on the cusp of losing everything. Someone from Paradise’s past is stalking her. This story takes readers on an adventure and an emotional journey.  Also, I love animals, so that aspect makes the story even more interesting. I can’t wait for book number three. I do recommend reading this series in order as it follows the same characters, so start with Ambush.

On the Edge of Trust brings readers back to Logan Point! If you’re like me, you remember the original Logan Point series by Patricia Bradley…it remains one of my favorites to this day. But this story focuses on Tori Mitchell, a true crimes podcaster who ticks off a killer with her investigative reporting. Someone is out to get her – maybe even a few people. When her family life and her work life collide, she heads to Logan Point. She wasn’t expecting to stay long, but meets Scott Sinclair, who jumps in to help her investigation – and keep her safe.

This story has it all – an intriguing plot, danger, a hunky yet wounded hero, and lots of suspense. I enjoyed the story from the first to last page. The author weaves an intricate mystery into a small-town setting with heartwarming characters you’ll love to root for. And there are a few cameo appearances from characters from the original Logan Point series. I highly recommend On the Edge of Trust for fans of small-town romantic suspense.
