Witness Protection Breach

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
WITNESS PROTECTION BREACH

How can he protect a boy whose mother is hiding their identity?

Mounted police officer Cruz Castillo's determined to shield his neighbour and her five-year-old son from their attacker. But when Jade Harris reveals she's in witness protection and her escaped convict ex-boyfriend's dead set on getting his revenge, Cruz isn't sure he's up to the task. With Christmas fast approaching, can Cruz keep this family safe without losing his heart to a woman holding dangerous secrets?

My Review:

I love the way Karen Kirst hooks me with her opening sentence every time. "Somewhere in the square, a truck engine backfired, and Jade Harris choked on her steamed vanilla milk." My spidey senses go on high alert and I'm immediately wondering a) what's in Jade's past to startle her so? And b) was that really a truck backfiring or...Whether it was or not, my eyeballs are already tripping over themselves to find out what kind of mayhem lies in store. And, of course, this author doesn't disappoint. My anxiety level spiked before the end of the first chapter.

This is the fourth (and final, I think) book in the Smoky Mountain Defenders series. No worries, it can be read as a standalone, but for fans of these mounted police officers and their equine partners, there's some nice cameos from previous books throughout this one. I'm really hoping the Love Inspired Suspense line might consider a Mounted Police continuity series, the way they've done for K-9s in recent years. Fingers crossed and pretty please!

Lots of intrigue and danger with a few romantic interludes interspersed. But both suspense and romance are fraught with complications and some wild u-turns on occasion. And it all makes for a riveting read. Oh -- and there's Christmas! What more can a reader as for in December?

Mountain Murder Investigation

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
MOUNTAIN MURDER INVESTIGATION

Searching for answers brings danger in the mountains

Faking his death was the only way for architecture professor Aiden Ferrer to stay alive. Especially when he was targeted for finding evidence of a cheating ring at the university that left one student dead. But threats against his ex-fiancee, mounted police officer Raven Hart, coerce him out of hiding. Now, with the clock ticking, they must expose the identities of all university members involved before the killers strike again.

A Smoky Mountain Defenders Novel

My Review:

I love an intriguing first line, especially in a suspense novel. Like this one:

"Mounted Police Officer Raven Hart entered her dark, silent house and instinctively reached for her 9mm."

Tells you so much and so little all at the same time and definitely pulls a reader in and Kirst delivers action and suspense right through to the very last page.

I don't know why there aren't more mounted police novels out there. Love the details the author includes about the horses and how they work with their police officer partners. I'd love to see an Equine continuity series sometime!

Reunion Romance alert! And, wowzers, that first reunion scene is charged with emotion...and danger. I felt as sucker-punched as Raven when she sees Aiden for the first time in over a year. Love the way this author blends romance with action and suspense. She captures all the emotional nuances so well. 

Another stellar romantic suspense from a must-read author.

Forgotten Secrets

 
GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
FORGOTTEN SECRETS

One woman abducted...another targeted. But he can't remember why...

Left with amnesia after he was attacked and the heiress with him kidnapped, Gray Michaelson has no clue why he's in North Carolina. As the only witness, Sergeant Catriona Baker could be the answer to everything -- if they can put the pieces together in time. But one thing is clear: the abductors will kill whomever stands in their way...and Cat is their next target.

My Review:

Unputdownable from the get go. Love the way Kirst catapults her readers right into the fray on the very first page. And she brings a unique twist to the amnesia trope that gives a sharper edge to the suspense. All kinds of page-turning, eyeball-hopping goodness here. There's great pacing between action scenes and intrepid investigating, including some startling revelations that had me gasping out loud. And the way the author weaves faith and romance into the mix as well makes Forgotten Secrets a compelling, read-in-one-sitting kind of suspense .

Danger in the Deep

GIVEAWAY
KIRST, KAREN
DANGER IN THE DEEP

When buried secrets surface, she's caught in a criminal's crosshairs.

Aquarium employee Olivia Smith isn't sure why someone wants her dead -- but Marine Corps pilot Brady Johnson knows a secret that could explain it. Brady vowed he'd tell no one that Olivia's husband had been on the run from his own mob family before he died, but he also promised he'd keep Olivia safe. With danger running deep, they'll have to work fast to stay alive.

My Review:

Whoa -- two oxygen tanks plus a spare definitely required for this non-stop action of a read! Karen Kirst has a diabolically clever mind and she's not afraid to use it! She offers a great balance between gripping suspense and toe-curling romance, If I wasn't swooning, I was ducking! lol

Brady comes off all judgmental and brooding in the beginning. He has preconceived ideas about Olivia that puts him on guard. She's not surprised -- it's always been that way between them, though she can't figure out why. It was so much fun to have a front row seat to their working things out! Lots of tension and angst and sizzling sparks!

And I loved the aquarium setting. So much scope for the author to unleash the dastardly side of her creativeness. Bwahahaha! Definitely a read-in-one-sitting romantic suspense!

Intensive Care Crisis

GIVEAWAY
KIRST, KAREN
INTENSIVE CARE CRISIS

She uncovered a secret someone will kill for...
But he's determined she'll survive

Reporting missing narcotics lands nurse Audrey Harris and her patients in the crosshairs of a ruthless thief. But when marine sergeant Julian Tan is one of the patients in danger, the criminals unwittingly provide her with a strong -- and handsome -- protector. On the run, Julian and Audrey must stop a crime boss...or become the next to fall.

My Review:

First off -- love that cover. It's a bit different from the usual LI cover art and the colours and soft focused image really grabbed my attention. Plus, this is Karen Kirst so, of course, I had to read it! And the story inside definitely delivers what the cover promises.

The hospital setting ups the tension  -- kind of like ER with a suspense plot (remember that TV show?) Audrey's life is plunged into chaos when she did the right thing. The responsible thing. And it nearly gets Julian killed in the process. And then -- phew -- danger lurks around every corner when the crime she reported turns out to be just the tip of a particularly daunting iceberg.

Lots of breathless action scenes are tempered with intimate relationship building ones and I really love the balance between the two. It's all hurry up and fight for your life' and then, wait, let's pause for a moment so we can appreciate how totally amazing this Marine hero is and how spunky this heroine is and how they clash and sizzle and light things up whenever they're together.

The lethal combination of deadly betrayal, reluctant romance and mega plot twists compel me to issue a seat belt warning alert. You'll need one...and chocolate, because when do we ever not need chocolate?...before immersing yourself in this gripping romantic suspense.

Explosive Reunion

GIVEAWAY
KIRST, KAREN
EXPLOSIVE REUNION

"I'm not leaving you."
He made a promise to protect her.

Back in her hometown, Tori James never expects to spend time with her ex-fiance -- until someone blows up her car. Now she has a target on her back, and accepting Staff Sargeant Cade McMann as her bodyguard is her only hope of staying alive. But even as Cade and Tori are drawn back together, a killer is determined to tear them apart for good.

My Review:

Catchy title for a riveting 'debut'. This is Karen Kirst's first romantic suspense and it's an explosive page-turner. Impeccable pacing, intriguing suspense, diverse action and some great hero/heroine heart-to-hearts. It was easy to lose myself in the story and savor each scene as I tried to puzzle out the how and why of Tori's mystery threat. And there are a couple of interesting secondary characters I'm hoping might get their own story sometime in the future. Pretty please with a cherry on top! This author has shot up to the top of my LIS 'must buy NOW' authors list. Super excited to see what comes next from Karen Kirst!

Romancing the Runaway Bride

GIVEAWAY
KIRST, KAREN
ROMANCING THE RUNAWAY BRIDE

Second-chance bride

Though she came west in her wedding dress, Deborah Frazier isn't looking for a groom. She fled St. Louis to excape marrying a man she didn't love. In Cowboy Creek, she's found shelter, friends and a job. All that's now in jeopardy, thanks to a handsome newcomer.

Undercover Pinkerton agent Adam Halloway is hunting for his family's greatest enemy. The pretty baker at the boardinghouse is certainly hiding something -- but is she an accomplice to a criminal? As evidence against Deborah piles up, can Adam trust his heart and make Deborah a bride at last?

My Review:

I do so love a mix of mystery in my historical romance and Kirst does a superb job of weaving both together in Romancing the Runaway Bride. And really, what's not to love about a runaway bride paired with a Pinkerton agent -- working undercover no less?! Oh, the delicious thrills that sent me into a reader tailspin as misunderstandings snowball and the romance grows gnarly right when the intrigue heats up! I wanted to bash poor Adam a time or two. That man knows how to hold a grudge and he's messed up his priorities for way too long....and continues the trend with Deborah! Gah! But he's so endearing in his vulnerability that my heart softened and I was rooting for him to get his man and his girl!!!!! Preferably without anyone getting shot, thank you very much. A read-in-one-gulp kind of book.

A Lawman for Christmas

GIVEAWAY
KIRST, KAREN
A LAWMAN FOR CHRISTMAS

The Gift of Family

Committed to her spinsterhood, Isabel Flores isn't about to trust a man with her hard-won independence or her heart -- especially not lawman Ben MacGregor. But when a little boy is abandoned on her property, the so-called "Debonair Deputy" of their small Tennessee toen helps her care for the child. And Isabel begins to hope he might be more than just a handsome flirt.

Ben is well aware of Isabel's aversion to love and has his own secret reasons for avoiding relationships. But as he and Isabel do their best to make the holiday special for their young ward, Ben wonders if he could be a family man after all. Will their Christmas be the first of many for Isabel and Ben's little instant family?

My Review:

Take two people who have resigned themselves to living their lives one way but are too stubborn to see something new and wondrous opening up before them and you have the makings for an emotional love story. Cue this reader's gnashing of teeth as she embarks on a reading frenzy.

Honestly, I wanted to knock heads together in the hopes of rattling some brain cells to life. Ben is stuck in the past, firmly believing he has nothing to offer a wife. (Puleeeeze! My curled toes beg to differ.) He's sweet and kind and gentlemanly and determined to do the right thing...even when we all know it's the wrong thing!  LOL And Isabel has allowed her father's scandalous past to define everything about her present which definitely closes off a hopeful future.

All that changes one fateful night when these two lives are entwined in an astonishing way. Danger and mystery and an abandoned child continuously pull them together during the most hopeful season of all. An old-fashioned Christmas romance that embraces the true meaning of the season.

The Sheriff's Christmas Twins

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
THE SHERIFF'S CHRISTMAS TWINS

Holiday baby blessings

Convinced that Allison Ashworth deserves better, Sheriff Shane Timmons has always tried to remain aloof around his childhood companion. But with Allison in Gatlinburg for the holidays, insisting on caring for two motherless babies, Shane feels obliged to help her. How can he keep his distance when she and the children are quickly becoming the family he never dared to wish for?

As a girl, Allison was drawn to the wary yet handsome Shane, who never seemed to look her way. But in spending time with him and two sweet babies, she might yet find a chink in the confirmed bachelor's armor. Every shared moment gives Allison hope that this Christmas, her dreams of motherhood -- and a life with Shane -- may finally be coming true.

My Review:

 Love and laughter and some heart-tugging Christmas spirit!

The first meet is so funny --  I love it when an author finds an innovative way of getting a hero and heroine together. It really gets my attention and pulls me into the story.

Allison and Shane are pretty much at odds from the get go. She's dismayed to discover that her long ago crush hasn't diminished. He's trying to ignore the lure of that winsome smile in favour of preserving his solitary bachelorhood. Of course attraction and circumstances (like motherless twin babies) get in the way. Shane finds that the more time he spends in Allison's company the more territorial he gets which proves difficult when she naturally attracts attention from other men. "Shane was like an unarmed man in an ambush as jealousy pummeled him." (p.38) Don't those words paint a vivid picture? So there's this wonderful push/pull dimension to this romance which leads to some heart-skipping, toe-curling scenes. Delish!

A captivating Christmas romance that's full to brimming with the hope of the season.

Bride by Arrangement

GIVEAWAY
 
KIRST, KAREN
BRIDE BY ARRANGEMENT

Mail-order matchmaking

Newly minted Cowboy Creek sheriff Noah Burgess doesn't want a wife -- despite his friends insisting that he needs one. So when they send for a big-city single mother to be his mail-order bride, he's fit to be tied. Even if vivacious Grace Longstreet might just be the only person who can see past Noah's scars...and help him heal.

Grace needs a husband to keep her and her twin daughters out of her brother-in-law's grasp. And she'll do -- including taking on her cousin's identity -- to find one. But as the attraction between Grace and the lawman sparks higher, she begins hoping for a real marriage. So she needs to tell the truth...or a mail-order match that's meant to be could crumble.

My Review:

This is the third book in the Cowboy Creek continuity series. I haven't read the first two and had no problem picking up the story in this one. Fans of the series will be happy to become reacquainted with the heroes and heroines as well as some reoccurring secondary characters from the other books. There's a host of eligible bachelors in this town so I'm hoping there are more books in the series. However, I searched high and low and couldn't find that information so if anyone knows I'd love it if you could share the information. I'm eager to keep up (as well as catch up) with these stories.

It's no secret that I adore a disgruntled hero and Noah is more disgruntled than most. Insert swoon here. I just loved the way Grace's little girls had him wrapped around their little fingers. And if he's truly honest with himself so does their mother. But he's stubborn and proud (hence disgruntled) so he puts up quite the fight. But, oh my, every time he drawled "City girl" my tummy went all a flutter. Every. Single. Time.

Grace knows that building a relationship based on deception is doomed to failure. She's wary and scared and  feeling mighty guilty as the days wear on and they all become entrenched in her lies.  Add a surprising suspense thread with action and danger to all that romantical angst and you end up with riveting read.

Reclaiming His Past

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
RECLAIMING HIS PAST

No possessions,
No memories,
Not even a name!

The wounded stranger found on Jessica O'Malley's property has no idea who he is. And Jessica would be foolish to trust him after being proven so wrong about a former suitor who turned out to be a criminal. But Jessica's wariness toward the newcomer is soon turning to interest...and hope.

Until he knows his true identity, "Grant" can't make a life in this quaint Tennessee town. He certainly shouldn't be thinking so much about the feisty redhead with beautiful, guarded eyes. But even as he fights to keep a distance from Jessica, his feelings for her grow. And he can't help but wonder if he'll want to return to his old life when his past is revealed.

Dreams of home and family come true in the Smoky Mountains

My Review:

I do love a good amnesia story -- and this one is excellent. Especially since it's the hero, 'Grant', who is afflicted. It leaves him uniquely vulnerable and at the mercy of his beautiful rescuer. And don't expect to find out who 'Grant' really is early on in the story -- the author leaves us in the dark until very close to the end. Makes for some great romantic tension. How can 'Grant' pursue Jessica when he knows nothing about his past? He can't help be drawn to her though and an uneasy friendship develops. Love the emotional undercurrents that swirl around the pair.

This is the fifth and last book in the Smokey Mountain Matches series. I've read three -- missed one somewhere along the way. Will have to rectify that. This reads very well as a standalone so no worries if you haven't read the other books. However, the O'Malley siblings all get a chance to shine in Reclaiming His Past which makes this a very satisfying conclusion to a wonderful series.

From Boss to Bridegroom

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
FROM BOSS TO BRIDEGROOM

Falling for the Boss 

Being tied up and delivered to the sheriff was not how Nicole O'Malley expected to meet her new boss. Quinn Darling had the audacity to mistake her for a burglar! Now she's counting the days until she can leave small-town life behind to open her own boutique. But as long as she's helping two runaways escape their vindictive stepdad, she can't leave town.

Quinn's determined to triumph in his first business venture without the support of his wealthy family. He can't succeed without assistant Nicole, a beauty as prickly as she is captivating. As Quinn adjusts to the tight-knit community, he's soon set on another goal: breaking through Nicole's reserve to capture the love hidden in her heart.

Smoky Mountain Matches: Dreams of home and family come true in the Smoky Mountains,

My Review:

The first scene in this book will make you sit up and take notice. It is also a cringeworthy and humourous first meet for Nicole and Quinn. Made me want to dive right in and see what else Kirst had in store. And that would be a whole lot of fun and mayhem. Like tantalizing romance that is more off than on except in the minds of both hero and heroine. An infuriating pair who are so fixated on making their dreams come true they almost miss making their dreams come true together. 

I'm afraid I fell for Quinn rather hard. He's easy going, mischievous and when he teases Nicole...be still my heart. Sadly, Nicole is too uptight to appreciate his appeal, which makes it more fun for him to tease. But blended in with all that humour are a few nefarious subplots that had me fuming. In short -- a great mix that makes a captivating read.

Married by Christmas

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
MARRIED BY CHRISTMAS

An inconvenient wedding 

Wherever Caleb O'Malley goes, trouble follows, and trouble is the last thing Rebecca Thurston needs. But when Caleb appears—gravely wounded—at Rebecca's Smoky Mountain cabin, she can't turn him away. His life depends on her kindness, but she never anticipated it would lead to an unwanted proposal.

Caleb never forgave himself for the accident that ended Rebecca's engagement and destroyed her life. He doesn't want to hurt her again. But after a week recuperating at her cabin, there is only one way for Caleb to protect both their reputations from scandal. Neither of them wants to tie the knot, but as Rebecca and Caleb spend time together, will they find there's more to their marriage than convenience?

Smoky Mountain Matches: Dreams of home and family come true in the Smoky Mountains

My Review:

A sweet romance with an element of danger makes this marriage of convenience story a must read. The gripping opening scene had me hooked. Kirst doesn't let up on the obstacles stacked between Caleb and Rebecca and their happily ever after. I particularly liked reading about Rebecca's spiritual journey. She has been harboring blame and bitterness for way too long and watching her release them bit by bit throughout the story made for a wonderful inspirational thread. Great character growth brings about change and the ability to deal with the past which finally frees both Caleb and Rebecca to share in a future of hope.

The Husband Hunt

GIVEAWAY

KIRST, KAREN
THE HUSBAND HUNT

Wanted: A Husband

Sophie Tanner gave up hoping for Nathan O'Malley's approval—and love—long ago. Getting married is the only way to protect her younger brother and keep her family's Smoky Mountain farm. As much as she'd like Nathan to be the groom, he can't seem to get past their friendship…or their differences.

Since they were children, Nathan has known Sophie was too impulsive, too headstrong. She's forever rushing into situations without thinking them through, like this scheme to snare a husband in under a month. Nathan always thought he'd fall in love with someone like himself—sensible, cautious, levelheaded. Sophie is his polar opposite. So why can't he picture anyone else at his side?

My Review:

Fast-paced, humour-laced and completely captivating. There's a little bit of everything in this heart-warming romance and I loved every word! I even loved dunderheaded Nathan. :-) He works so hard at talking himself out of romance and Sophie doesn't help matters with her certainty that Nathan couldn't possibly see her as anything but a friend. Those two dance circles around each other in one delicious scene after another. Another exceptional historical romance from the Love Inspired line.
