WYOMING CHRISTMAS PERIL
Can they survive the cold of Cougar Mountain with a killer on their trail?
Bailey O'Keefe is excited about her first Christmas in Wyoming -- until she's taken hostage by a homicidal bank robber. When he escapes from custody, his only goal is killing Bailey. Now her life depends on FBI negotiator Sean Hanson and his remote cabin on Cougar Mountain. But in the icy Wyoming wilderness, their relentless pursuer is the least perilous danger they face...
My Review:
Great debut from a new voice in Love Inspired Suspense!
Despite the title, this is more of a wintery read rather than a holiday one. And brrrrrr but it's chilly setting and wilderness survival scenes begs to be paired with a cup of hot cocoa. And comfort marshmallows. :-)
I found it refreshing to read about a heroine who isn't all kick-butt savvy for a change. (Not that I don't like the strong, confidant, take charge heroine...but I've been meeting her a lot in the pages of my books so Bailey was a nice break.) She starts out very overwhelmed which is understandable since she was held at gunpoint in a bank heist! She's also hesitant, even timid when she's taken into protective custody which is so relatable! And I love how she grows in confidence as the story progresses. That's partly because of Sean's belief in her. He's an older (35 to her 25) somewhat jaded ex-FBI agent charged with keeping Bailey safe. Which proves quite the challenge thanks to the relentless pursuit of one escaped felon. Cue murder and mayhem and a wilderness chase!
And speaking of Sean...he has three brothers! All Wyoming ranchers sharing the family land on Cougar Mountain. Pretty please let this be the first in a series about the Hanson brothers! 'Cause I'm enamoured with them all!

ReplyDeleteOkay so I say this with just about any newer LIS, but it's true....WHOA....that cover!! Wowie, I get shivers merely looking at it 😲
ReplyDeleteAnd the premise is shiver inducing as well, so this is all kinds of goodness going on. Or badness from the villains point of view, lol! A definite must-read.
