A Heart's Danger



COBLE, COLLEEN
A HEART'S DANGER

On the brink of war with the Sioux, Sarah risks everything to expose the betrayal threatening the man she loves.

Christmas is coming, and the air at Fort Laramie has turned cold . . . but relations with the Sioux have turned colder. As tensions between soldiers and natives approach a tipping point, a trap has been set for Rand Campbell.

Rand’s new fiancée wants to keep him from returning to Sarah Montgomery . . . for whom his heart clearly still yearns.
Sarah just wants to move on with her life at Fort Laramie, but doing so under the watchful eyes of both Campbell—the man whose love she craves—and Croftner—the man whose lies have cost her everything.

Will Rand fall victim to the conspiracy and go through with his wedding? Or will he declare his love for Sarah and make good on the promises that brought her into the rugged western territories?

My Review:

The third book in The Journey of the Heart series (a book-a-month released March - August.) It's an interesting marketing venture that I have mixed feelings about. I'd almost prefer it if the books were released closer together. They're short -- novella length -- and easily read in an hour so it's a long wait for the next installment which breaks up the story for me. The whole series is a re-issue of Colleen Coble's first two novels which have been out of print for a decade (though available in ebook format.)

A Heart's Danger is filled with exactly that -- danger. Lots of it in various forms caused by a very diabolical villain. Fractions between Indian and Whites escalate and there's enough foreshadowing (or I'm reading between the lines) to leave me with an unsettled feeling of dread as I look ahead to reading the last three installments this summer.

*Please note -- Because of the installment nature of this series I won't do a giveaway until the very last book is released -- in August -- when I'll do a giveaway of the 6 book set.

My thanks to Litfuse Publicity Group and Thomas Nelson for supplying me with a review copy of this book.

    1. Hmmm...that's interesting. Personally I think it should have been the other way around. Release the installments as ebooks and then together as a paperback...but that's just me. LOL

    2. I'd like to see it come out as a paperback, too. Maybe if there are a lot of requests the publisher will release it as a paperback?
