Perilous Christmas Reunion

GIVEAWAY
EAKES, LAURIE ALICE
PERILOUS CHRISTMAS REUNION

Family secrets made her a target...can her ex provide a holiday haven?

When Lauren Wexler's fugitive brother arrives on her doorstep, he has just moments to pass her evidence before his pursuers start shooting. Now Lauren needs her US marshal ex's protection. She left Chris Blackwell to shield his reputation, but her family's secrets are darker than she knows. With the truth revealed, can their Christmas wishes for safety and love still come true?

My Review:

Woohoo! I've been a fan of Laurie Alice Eakes's historical fiction so was thrilled to discover she's crossed over into one of my favourite genres. Perilous Christmas Reunion is her debut contemporary romantic suspense and I'm ecstatic to report that it's just as amazing as her historicals!

Her exquisite descriptive writing style meshes perfectly with the signature tension and action found in a suspense novel. Eakes can make a life-and-death scene eerily beautiful! So while I found myself wanting to race ahead to keep on top of the fast-paced plot I just had to slow down and savor her word choice too. Blissful sigh. A sublime reading experience that's left me aching for more Love Inspired Suspense novels from this author! (And the sooner the better!)

      Yes -- I love those historicals -- especially the ones with a mystery thread so I was super excited to read her first romantic suspense. Good luck, Linda.

    Oh I didn't even connect the dots until you said something Kav! I saw the author name and thought to myself "yay, another new LI writer", not realizing I should have recognized her from her historicals (I have a few on my Kindle). I guess I was so dazzled by this tremendous cover I didn't pay much attention :-D

    Since I'm not a huge reader of romantic suspense, I am very selective in those I choose to read. Therefore, I don't often add my name to your LI suspense giveaways. You turned me onto Eakes' gothic-like historical fiction and those are very suspenseful (well, at least to me 😜), so I'm very intrigued by this offering.

      Yes, she does historical suspense so well I was anxious to see what a contemporary would be like! Good luck, Terrill!
