Back Cover Copy

As a child, artist and potter Dani Bennett witnessed the brutal murder of her parents. With no memory of the incident or her true identity, she was forced to take on a new name and a new life, hidden away in Montana for the past 25 years.

Mae Richmond has spent the same stretch of time searching for her granddaughter, who went missing the night her daughter and son-in-law were murdered. Convinced the woman she saw in a pottery magazine feature is the woman she’s been searching for, she enlists the help of K-9 officer Mark Lassiter of Pearl Springs, Tennessee, who tracks Dani down.

Skeptical but curious, Dani sets out on a journey to uncover the secrets of her past and reclaim her true identity. But someone close to her is determined to keep the truth of what happened all those years ago hidden.

My Review

This story will keep you reading until late into the night. I loved Dani’s character. She was relatable and easy to love. Every chapter left me wanting to keep reading, who was after Dani and her family? Will Dani be able to remember the man she saw that dreadful night? Will she eventually regain all her memories that had been buried for so long? So good. Patricia Bradley is quickly becoming a new favorite author for me! I highly recommend this one!

Back Cover Copy

A stalker who wants to finish what he started. A US Marshal who’s vowed to protect his charge. And one woman who is determined to put the past in the past.


Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it’s hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people’s lives, but because her stalker was never found, she’s never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up.

US Marshal Vincent Corelli’s job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs–whether it’s his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina’s past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn’t live long enough to do it.

Countdown is the breathless conclusion to USA Todaybestselling author Lynette Eason’s thrilling Extreme Measures series.

My Review

Raina’s secret past is about to come back to haunt her in full force. I absolutely loved both main characters in this book. Raina and Vince were both characters who were relatable, and you could easily and quickly fall in love with both of them. You will hit the ground running when you start reading this book, and it won’t stop until you reach the end. I kept trying to figure out how it was all going to come together, would they be able to stop Raina’s crazy ex before he got her or the boy they were trying to protect? And if so how? I could not put this book down. This whole series was amazing and this last book was phenomenal! I highly recommend this book. If you’ve not read the rest of the series I also recommend those! They can stand alone, but let’s be honest you’re going to want to read them all!

Back Cover Copy

USSS Special Agent Zane Thacker has landed his dream assignment protecting the president of the United States. When the president plans a fundraiser at the exclusive estate of a political supporter in Raleigh, Zane is thrilled to be working again with Special Agent Tessa Reed, his best friend–and the woman he desperately wishes could be more.

Though Tessa almost lost everything, she battled her demons and came out on the other side healthy and healed. But when her role as the liaison between the Raleigh office and the president’s protective detail wrenches her past back into the present, her greatest failure threatens to come to light.

Zane refuses to let Tessa go through this alone. But can he stand by the woman he loves and protect the president from a mounting threat at the same time?

Sparks fly as award-winning romantic suspense writer Lynn H. Blackburn closes out her Defend and Protect series with this explosive tale of secrets kept, lies exposed, and relationships restored.

My Review

Another amazing installment in the Defend and Protect series! I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, and this one was no exception! Zane and Tessa were characters that were easy to love. They had their own struggles, but they overcame them, and are moving forward. From the very beginning this story had me wondering who did it? What’s going to happen next? Why are they after Tessa? I could not put it down, there were so many questions that will keep you reading until the very end so you can find out what happens. I highly recommend this one! This book is book 3 in the series, but they could definitely stand alone without feeling like you’re lost in the middle somewhere.

Back Cover Copy

Former Delta Operative Colt Kingston knows when someone is lying. He may not know the truth, but he sure doesn’t trust Tae, the woman who is caring for his ailing father at Sky King Ranch. Behind those beautiful blue eyes, he can tell there is a troubled–and smart–woman.

A few of her stories prove true–he’s found the crashed plane and the dead body inside. Still, her story of survival seems too incredible to believe . . . until the thugs she claims to be hunting her show up and threaten Sky King Ranch. Now Tae must disappear, along with her secrets.

But Colt’s not about to let her go it alone. And when they discover that her secrets include the antidote to a plague that threatens the world, it’ll take all three Kingston brothers to save the country they’ve vowed to protect.

Susan May Warren brings her Sky King Ranch series to a climactic close with this high-stakes race against the clock.

My Review

An amazing conclusion to the Sky King Ranch series. I loved every minute of this book. Right from the beginning, this book takes off, and just keeps going so it made it hard to put down! So many twists and surprises throughout the book that will keep you on your toes asking what’s going to happen next! I love all the characters in this series, but Tae and Colt were a fun couple of characters, and I was rooting for them from the beginning. I highly recommend this whole series, and you’ll definitely want to start at book one (Sunrise) since they build off of one another.

Pursued in the Wilderness by Loretta Edison—Blog Tour

About the Book

Book: Pursued in the Wilderness

Author: Loretta Eidson

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release date: September 27, 2022

Her baby’s life…depends on one man and his K-9

The murder of her ex-husband at a remote cabin and the discovery that the killers want to take her about-to-be-born baby sends Brooke Chandler running into the Tennessee mountains. She stumbles into the campsite of K-9 handler Trent Williston and his search-and-rescue dog, Rex. Trent vows to get Brooke and her baby to safety. But with the killers on their heels, the impending birth of Brooke’s baby and the threats of the wilderness, they must first survive…

My Review

From the first page, I was sucked into the story. I can’t imagine being 9 months pregnant, running for my life and my baby’s life through the wilderness. I quickly fell in love with Brooke’s character, and Trent was a compassionate K-9 officer who was willing to help despite his fears. I was constantly guessing what was going to happen next, would Brooke give birth in the wilderness? Would they make it out before her pursuers found them and killed them all? Fast-paced, heart pounding, suspense. You’ll love this one if you’re into suspense like I am. You won’t be able to put it down once you start it! Highly recommend this one.

More from Loretta

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been mesmerized by the majesty of the mountains. I love log cabin vacations on the mountain top, sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch, and enjoying my early morning coffee. Low-lying clouds hang over them like a soft blanket and slowly dissipate while birds sing their wake-up songs. The perfect place to reminisce about life and dream about the future. Serene and beautiful.

One would think with my admiration of the mountain range I would accept all the mountains have to offer. Not so. Even though there are many hiking trails, I have ventured out on very few. Animals of the wild frighten me, but none near as much as a bear. I am certain every bear in the forest hides in the tops of trees, waiting for my arrival so they can pounce on me. I know it’s silly, but my apprehension is real.

What could be more suspenseful than to write a novel about Brooke Chandler, thirty-eight weeks pregnant, running for her and her baby’s life through the mountains? She must face her fears of the wild, including bears, if she wants to save her baby from the killers that murdered her husband. To make it worse, she’s in the forest alone in the inky darkness.

Handler Trent Williston and his K-9, Rex, escape the city, away from all pregnant women. He refuses to deliver another baby after a mishap with an emergency delivery while on the job. A camping trip to the mountains with Rex is his go-to for relaxation – until Brooke falls into his camp with three killers on her trail.

I hope you enjoy Trent and Brooke’s story as they face their challenges together.

The Heart of a Hero by Susan May Warren–Book Review

Grab your copy here

Back Cover Copy

Jake Silver may not be able to put the memories of his time as a sniper and Navy SEAL behind him, but at least he can put his skills to use as a part of the Jones Inc. rescue team. Saving the life of pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair on Denali helped too. Now he can’t get her out of his head, and when he hears she is in the path of a hurricane down in Key West he can’t help but jump on a plane to rescue her.

Aria has dedicated her life to helping children born with defective hearts. After all, she was one of those children. Now driven to succeed, she lives a lonely, stressful life. One she would have lost on Denali if it hadn’t been for Jake. Jake is exciting and handsome, but he’s also dangerous, and she’s already lost one person she loves. She can’t bear it again.

It’s not until she finds herself trapped in the middle of a category 4 hurricane that she can admit she needs Jake desperately. With their very survival in the balance, can they hope for a second chance at life . . . and love?

My Review

I was drawn in from the beginning! This new series is amazing! This is book 2 in the Global Search and Rescue Series, and while technically I think you could read them as stand-alone, there are definitely elements that would make more sense if you read them in order. So definitely go back and read the Way of the Brave since that’s where it starts and where this book picks back up! Susan May Warren is definitely fast becoming one of my favorite authors! I loved the characters in this, and they’re definitely down-to-earth and relatable. This is a page-turner, and it’s hard to put down! I just wanted to find out what happens next, how it’s all going to come together, if they’ll make it through the hurricane, will they let each other in? Go grab your copy of this one, and The Way of the Brave. You won’t regret it!

Genre: Christian Suspense

Release Date: June 2020

Political games can be deadly…

Elise Carmichael is a court sign language interpreter who reads lips all the time. As a widow with a young son who is deaf, lip reading is simply second nature, until the day she reads the lips of someone on the phone discussing an attempt to be made on a senator’s life—a senator who just happens to be her mother-in-law. Before she can decide what she needs to do, she receives the information that her son is rushed to the ER and she must leave. Then she later sees the news report that her mother-in-law has been shot and killed. But when she comes forward, her life, as well as her son’s life, may now be in the crosshairs of the assassin.

My Review

I had never read a book by Robin Caroll before this one, and my what have I been missing! This book was fantastic! Couldn’t put it down. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire way through. I loved the different perspective of the main character being able to lip read because her son was deaf to be intriguing, it made it that much more unique. I loved the characters, and I found Elise’s “momma bear” character to be very relatable. I could put myself in her shoes, and think well if my children were threatened, I’d probably do the same thing. Very suspenseful, and I highly recommend this book! Now that I’ve discovered Robin Caroll, I’m going to have to read more from her!! Excellent!

More from Robin

Hi, there. . .Robin here. I’m getting so excited for the release of my thirty-fourth novel, DEAD SILENCE. I have to say, I love this book. The heroine is strong, yet flawed. Her love for her son—willing to do anything to protect him is a mother’s instinct I relate to so well, having three daughters and two grandsons. The love of a mother for her child is so ingrained in me that I wanted to share that in a story.

 

I’ve been asked why I opted for a heroine who is an ASL translator and who has a deaf son. Many years ago, I became friends with someone who is deaf. She shared with me some of her frustrations, but also how her way of life is in comparison to mine. It got me to thinking that being deaf could be thought of as a disability but could also be used as an advantage…it was all in how you looked at it. My friend shared many stories of how she “eavesdropped” by reading lips and learned much about people and how they reacted to issues, enough that it led her into her career field today—a counselor, specializing in providing therapy for the hearing impaired as they live in a hearing world. I hope that I portrayed my characters in this positive light.

 

While I’m a Louisiana girl at heart, I reside in Little Rock, the capitol city for Arkansas. Since Bill and Hilary Clinton lived here and claimed it home before Bill was President, we have many political plans and posturing here. I saw it as a perfect backdrop for this particular story with the political undercurrents running rampant throughout the story.

 

I hope that you enjoy reading DEAD SILENCE as much as I enjoyed writing it.

My Review

Full of suspense, you will love this new series by Pettrey! I loved every minute of it. The characters are very easy to fall in love with. I loved the main character Gabby, she’s full of spunk, yet vulnerable. There were lots of twists and turns, and loose ends, it kept me wondering the whole way through how those ends would weave together to finish the book. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing new series. I highly recommend it!!

About the Author

Praised by New York Times best-selling author Dee Henderson as “a name to look for in romantic suspense,” Dani Pettrey has sold more than half a million copies of her novels to readers eagerly awaiting the next release. Dani combines the page-turning adrenaline of a thriller with the chemistry and happy-ever-after of a romance.

Her novels stand out for their “wicked pace, snappy dialogue, and likable characters” (Publishers Weekly), “gripping storyline[s],” (RT Book Reviews), and “sizzling undercurrent of romance” (USA Today).

She researches murder and mayhem from her home in Maryland. For more information visit www.danipettrey.com

 

More from Dani

Pettrey kicks off her new Coastal Guardians series with an intense blend of suspense, love, and faith. The Killing Tide features romance that’s as thrilling as the action, and faithful characters integrated seamlessly into a complex web of crime.

— Kate Campos BookList

 

The Killing Tide is the first book in my Coastal Guardian series. My husband was Navy, so why am I writing about the Coast Guard? Because I think their mission to keep our waters and our country safe should be highlighted more. Before I started writing The Killing Tide, I’ll admit I knew little about the Coast Guard. I had a friend in high school who joined the Guard right after graduation, but that’s about the depth of my experience with them. Then, my husband and I watched a movie called The Finest Hour.

 

If you haven’t seen it, I highly urge you to. It’s the true story of one of the most dangerous and daring rescue attempts in Coast Guard history. Boatswain’s Mate First Class Bernie Webber takes a small team to rescue the crew of the Pendleton T2 oil tanker, which split in half off the coast of Cape Cod during a brutal nor’easter in 1952. I won’t ruin the ending for you, but let’s just say it’s a wonderful testament to courage in adversity. After watching it, I knew I had to write a series about the Coast Guard. I began researching and came across the Coast Guard Investigative Service and my interest was highly peaked. After talking with Coast Guardsmen, both newly in the service and those long retired, I began to see the story weaving together like a movie in my mind. I hope you enjoy reading the CGIS Wilmington teams’ adventures, cases and…of course, romances.

Book: Dark Water

Author: Christy Barritt

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: January 28, 2020

A FORMER NAVY SEAL HAUNTED BY HIS PAST

Colton Locke can’t forget the black op that went terribly wrong. Desperate for a new start, he moves to Lantern Beach, North Carolina, and forms Blackout, a private security firm. Despite his hero status, he can’t erase the mistakes he’s made.

A WIDOW WITH SECRETS

For the past year, Elise Oliver hasn’t been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to her husband’s death than she was told. When she finds a hidden box of his personal possessions, more questions—and suspicions—arise. The only person she trusts to help her is her husband’s best friend, Colton Locke.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

Someone wants Elise dead. Is it because she knows too much? Or is it to keep her from finding the truth? The Blackout team must uncover dark secrets hiding beneath seemingly still waters. But those very secrets might just tear the team apart.

More from Christy

Dark Water is the fourth series in the Lantern Beach Universe. When I created the fictional island of Lantern Beach, NC, I had no idea how popular it would be. I’ve fallen in love with the people there, and they feel more like friends than fictional characters.

Dark Water is about a group of former Navy SEALs who band together to former an elite private security firm. But they all share secrets, as well as guilt over the death of their SEAL leader. In order to move on, they must find answers.

I introduced Colton Locke in the last book of the Lantern Beach PD series—Plan of Action. I knew he needed his own book and that I wanted to develop his character more. That turned into a four-book series featuring Colton and three of his friends. Blackout contains suspense, mystery, and romance—all of my favorite things!

My Review

I can’t believe I haven’t discovered Christy Barritt sooner! This was the first book I’d read by her, and I was not disappointed! I absolutely loved the characters, and the whole storyline was very well written. It kept me guessing the whole way through. I kept wondering who can they trust? Who did it? What is really going on? I felt like I was right there with Elise and Colton trying to figure out who wants Elise dead? Who is trying to keep the truth under wraps? I highly recommend this book! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series and more by Christy Barritt!

Hope is a Dangerous Place by Jim Baton–Book Review

Back Cover Copy

Award-winning author Jim Baton believes revival is coming to America. This is what it might look like–

Seventy-five years ago, fifteen-year-old Hope McCormick disappeared. To remember her,

Grab your copy today!

the newly incorporated town was named “Hope.” When high school friends Kelsey and Harmonie begin looking into this unsolved mystery, they discover that someone will do anything to make sure the town’s secrets never come to light. Which neighbors are allies, and which face masks a violent enemy? And what will it take for their struggling town to fulfill its original destiny of hope?

My Review

A great suspenseful read! I was so into this book. I wanted to know what happened to Hope McCormick. I wanted to know why everybody was so obsessed with leaving the past in the past. I wanted to know everything! I instantly fell in love with the characters Kelsey and Harmonie. Every time I thought I had the answer, I’d find out a new twist which would lead me in a different direction. I loved every minute of it! One thing that I could have done without was the language. There was cursing sprinkled throughout the book. I really don’t like it when a “Christian” book has cursing throughout the entire book. Other than the mild cursing sprinkled in, the book was absolutely amazing, and I really want to read the next book so I can find out what happens next!
