Christmas Rodeo Killer by Sami A. Abrams

I have read all of Sami A. Abrams' Love Inspired books, and I have loved every one of them. Her newest Love Inspired book, Christmas Rodeo Killer, didn't disappoint.

As the title denotes, this book is centered around rodeos and suspicious deaths that have occurred on the local rodeo circuit.

FBI Agent Cooper Sinclair, also a former rodeo bull rider, is sent undercover to try to solve the deaths. On his first ride, he is nearly killed but is rescued by a former girlfriend, Private Investigator Grace Harrison. Grace believes that Cooper just might be the next bull rider on the killer's list.

I loved Cooper and Grace as well as Lexi (you'll need to read the book to meet Lexi). Ms. Abrams created her characters well by showing their vulnerable sides and also their strengths. Well done, Ms. Abrams!

Quite often, I can figure out "who dunnit," but I did not see it until the killer was disclosed.

If you enjoy clean romantic suspense and quick reads, you will enjoy Christmas Rodeo Killer. I highly recommend it,

On a 5-star scale - 5 Stars!

Canyon of Deceit by DiAnn Mills

Canyon of Deceit is the newest Christian romantic suspense novel from award-winning DiAnn Mills. This book is written in first-person POV (point of view) with alternate narrators. I haven't always been a fan of first-person POV novels; however, Ms. Mills does it so well that I have come to enjoy it.

Ms. Mills has a wonderful talent for blending history, well-developed characters, and a great suspense thread

The main characters of Canyon of Deceit are  Therese Palmer, a wilderness survival expert, and Blane Gardner, a Texas Ranger with expert negotiating skills. 

Threse receives a call from Professor Rurik Ivanov, from the University where she had taught a survival course the year before. His 8-year-old daughter, Alina, has been kidnapped, and he is requesting Therese's help in finding her. This will require her survival skills and martial arts skills in order to find the young girl.

Therese had contacted Texas Ranger Gardner, whom she met at a wilderness survival class. She asks for his help in finding Alina, but lets him know the Professor wants things kept quiet. Therese has a feeling that more is involved than just the kidnapping. Could Russian organised crime be involved, or maybe something more nefarious? 

There are sparks between Therese and Blane, but Therese doesn't want to get involved with a non-Christian. Blane said his faith is real and asks for a chance to show her that he has changed. Will a fire ignite between them?

If you like Christian Romantic Suspense novels that are filled with twists and turns, I would highly recommend Canyon of Deceit. 

On a five-star scale, I give it 5 Stars!
