Cold Case Profile

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.

COLD CASE KILLER PROFILE

The desert can hide many secrets...including murder.

Searching for the perfect morning landscape to paint leads forensic artist Brigitte Linsey straight to a dead body -- and a narrow escape from the Sunrise Serial Killer still on the scene. Now she's become unfinished business and new prey. Working with FBI special agent Duke Jericho could mean putting the murderer away for good. However, it's just a matter of time before this diabolically clever predator turns his hunters into the hunted...

A Quantico Profilers Thriller

My Review:

Whoa! Just...gulp..edge-of-your-seat and (sometimes) hide-under-the-blankets stuff! There's an extra zing of tense that comes with this story. A serial killer stalking Brigitte is 'eek' enough, but then Patch throws in some gasp-out-loud twists and I couldn't do anything but speed-read through to the end, holding my breath all the while.

I like the profiling aspect to this series (this is the second Quantico Profilers Thriller book but can easily be read as a standalone.) It adds an extra 'oomph' to an already thrilling read. 'Thriller' is in the series title for a reason! Packed with suspense and action and enough heart-in-throat moments to create a super-charged read.

And the suspense is not to be outdone by the romance! Wary and rocky though it may be. I do so love when a hero or heroine (or both) are blindsided by love when they least expect it.

May there be many more Quantico Profilers Thriller books to come!!!

Texas Cold Case Threat

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.

TEXAS COLD CASE THREAT

When a cold case turns hot, an isolated ranch goes from refuge...to crime scene.

After a murderer sends her taunting letters, FBI behavioural analyst Chelsey Banks retreats to a friend's ranch -- and interrupts the housekeeper being attacked. When evidence connects the break-in to a cold-case serial killer, Chelsey's best friend, Texas Ranger Tack Holliday needs her help. With Tack at her side, this could be Chelsey's chance to catch two killers -- unless one of them gets her first.

A Quantico Profilers Thriller

My Review:

Warning: Texas Ranger Tack Holliday is going to put a permanent crimp in your toes so wear comfy slippers when you read Texas Cold Case Threat. Consider this an official Toe-Curl Alert! He is all Texan cowboy charm and knows how to flirt! Oh my! 

And I love -- really love -- the dynamics between this hero and his heroine. They've been friends for years and have that easy camaraderie that develops over time. The sassy dialogue is so much fun! Both are in law enforcement but in different fields and miles away from each other. Even so, they've kept their friendship going strong...until they are thrown into the middle of absolute maniacal chaos in the heart of cowboy country...Yeehaw!!!...and deeper feelings stir. (Swoon!)

The suspense is crazy good. Complicated and angsty and there's interesting profiling details scattered throughout which I found fascinating. Tons of twists and turns, plenty of action scenes, bullets flying, knives slashing -- this book has it all...and a happily ever after besides!

Plus -- woohoo -- this is the first book in Jessica R. Patch's Quanitco Profilers Thriller miniseries and the next one is coming out in June!

Yuletide Cold Case Cover-Up

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.

YULETIDE COLD CASE COVER-UP

They mystery of her sister's death is about to reveal some deadly answers...

When her sister's remains are found just before Christmas, cold case agent Poppy Holliday is determined to solve the years-old murder -- even if it turns the killer's sight on her. But her investigation with her strait-laced partner, Rhett Wallace, is stirring up the town's old memories -- and bitter grudges. And this killer will do anything to keep secrets buried...

A Cold Case Investigators Romance

My Review:

I see Jessica R. Patch's name on a cover and I don't even read the synopsis. The book is in my cart and on it's way as fast as my clicking finger can click. :-) But a Patch cold case suspense is an extra special treat. I'm loving this series (though, rest assured, each book can be read as a standalone.) 

There's such an air of mystery surrounding cold cases, and the bad guys are that much more desperate because they've gotten away with murder for so long which means lots of action. Lots of danger. Patch delivers both with nail-biting finesse. Keep a reader's crash cart close by in case of emergency (I stock mine with chocolate, a comfort bear, anxiety ball and a paper bag in case I go into full-on hyperventilating mode.)

Love the dynamics between Poppy and Rhett. They are polar opposites and annoy each other to the nth degree but are stuck as partners on a cold case that is deeply personal to Poppy -- her sister's murder. Their sniping and comebacks are hysterical and irritating and ironic because their differences actually stem from similar childhood tragedies. In Rhett's case, it has made him a careful, deliberate, by-the-books detective while Poppy has become an impulsive rule-breaker. Fireworks ignite as they draw closer under impossibly tense circumstances.

I love the way the author has woven Christmas themes throughout the story. They provide some breathing-space and hope for both characters and reader. And there's a touching inspirational thread courtesy of a very special secondary character that moved me to tears.

An unputdownable festive romantic suspense.

Cold Case Double Cross

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.

COLD CASE DOUBLE CROSS

They're on a cold trail and running out of time.

Convinced his brother was wrongly convicted of murder years ago, detective Cash Ryland's determined to find the real killer -- even if it puts him in the crosshairs. But he needs help from cold case investigator Mae Vogel, whom he mistreated in high school. Can they put their past aside to solve the murder...before the killer succeeds in silencing them for good?

A cold case investigators story

My Review:

I do so love a cold case mystery and this one is so well done. Mae's initial reluctance to get involved is both personal and professional. She has a bitter history with Cash and those kind of high school wounds can easily fester. So, not only does the closed-case-not-a-cold-case file make Cash's brother appear to be guilty, she really wants nothing to do with her teenage nemesis. That leaves Mae battling with her conscience as she struggles to look at the problem objectively. 

Cash about tore my heart out. He's a changed man and so humble and accepting of Mae's inability to trust him. A difficult childhood and a unique personal struggle leave him feeling less than. I wanted to smack Mae upside the head for not giving him a chance, but, of course, I knew Chase's secret and she didn't for most of the book. And Mae had her own personal history that skewed the way she looked at Cash -- and all men, really. Gah, the tension between these two is both exhilarating and infuriating...and definitely kept me turning pages.

Great suspense -- with a number of potential suspects -- and the action really amps up once Mae officially turns the closed case into a cold case. Patch's diabolical mind has created some very cunning 'deterrents' and near death experiences for Mae and Cash which makes for a thrilling read.

I'm excited that this is part of a series and am anxiously looking forward to the Patch's next Cold Case Investigators installment.

Cold Case Takedown

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.

COLD CASE TAKEDOWN

Exposing a murder is a deadly game.

When cold case podcast host Georgia Maxwell's investigation into her friend's decade-old murder unveils corruption in small-town football, she's thrust into a deadly conspiracy. And it's put her on the radar of Colt McCoy -- cold case unit chief and her high school sweetheart -- who wants her help solving the crime. But every clue brings them one step closer to someone who will kill to keep the truth hidden...

A Cold Case Investigators Novel

My Review:

There is so much to gush about over this enthralling romantic suspense. Jessica Patch is one of my fave LIS authors and she might just have outdone herself with this one. 

Love the heroine, Georgia, with all her complexities. She has some unique struggles that make coping with all the chaos and danger that much harder but she perseveres with grit and determination and tenacious faith which left me awestruck. 

Colt has reservations about coming face to face with his old flame from high school. Georgia broke his heart back in the day and it never completely healed. But she's stirred up a hornet's nest with her cold case podcast and there's no turning back. They need to work together to bring justice to a murdered friend...if they can stay alive long enough!

Phew -- the suspense is intricately woven in a bazillion layers of tangled knots. Utterly fascinating to pick your way through. I'm not a football fan and not from the US so I'm still a little addlepated over how seriously you take your high school/college football!!! :-)

This is the first book in a new series and Patch has done a great job of introducing the team and setting the stage for future novels. Can't wait for the next installment -- Cold Case Double Cross -- which comes out this summer.

Recovered Secrets

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA
RECOVERED SECRETS

A blank memory. A new life. But her borrowed time just ran out.

Two years after Grace Thackery washed up on a small-town Mississippi riverbank, she has the first clue about the life she doesn't remember, someone wants her dead. And while search-and-rescue director Hollis Montgomery's determined to protect her, the secrets of her past are darker than they expected.  Can the bond between Grace and Hollis survive her true identity...and an assasin?

My Review:

Well this one sent me into a bibliophile tailspin of woozy delight. My brain is all in a muddled daze so finding words for a review is going to be tricky.

First, Recovered Secrets is full of the unexpected. That includes cagey plot twists that are directly linked to my befuzzled state. And I so love the way Patch brings humour into even the most desperate scenes. The word 'ninja' will forever bring a smile to my lips. :-)

I also love Grace's backstory -- or lack thereof. That kind of long term amnesia makes for some fascinating tension -- especially when it comes to the romance. Because Hollis has feelings for Grace -- the kind that goes beyond the special friendship they've developed over the past year and a half. Only how can Grace reciprocate when she doesn't know who she really is? And there's so much I want to say about that but I can't without posting spoilers which is uber frustrating Gah! Because Grace's story begs to be talked over.

And then there's the suspense -- wow -- just wow. Intricate and clever. It was so much fun trying to put the pieces together and when I had the light bulb moment before Grace and Hollis did I was beyond proud...only to discover that I was only half right and maybe a whole lot wrong too and then things happened followed by more things until my brain felt fried. Synapses are still sizzling as a matter of fact.

An action-packed thrill of a page-turner.

Killer Exposure

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.
KILLER EXPOSURE

A killer with a secret motive...a mother with a secret baby

Crime scene photographer Greer Montgomery didn't expect to witness a murder at a small town carnival -- nor to be rescued by the father of her secret baby. A storm chaser, Locke Gallagher often stares down death, but he's never known true fear until Gwen's life is at risk. But how can he protect his newly discovered family when the killer could be anyone?

My Review:

Well....I won't be going to any carnivals this summer, that's for sure! Cue the creepy music and maniacal laughter. Bwahahaha! Okay, it's not that super scary so don't be afraid to read Killer Exposure but it does have some alarming moments. And a bit of spine-tingling and gasp-out-louding ones. The kind of suspense where you think you know what's going to happen next but you're wrong half the time. And when you're right the other half it's really, really bad. :-) And the ending? I can't even...comfort chocolate recommended.

But what really bedazzled me was the raw and gritty sucker punch of the secret baby trope. I'm not a huge fan of the whole secret baby theme, though I know other readers love it. I find it hard to relate to a heroine who has deliberately hidden a child from its father so an author has to work some real magic to get me on board. All I can say is Jessica Patch must have a fairy wand because I totally lost myself in this aspect of the romance.

Locke is gutted when he finds out about the baby. He's running on fear and anger for a good portion to the story. And the emotions are palpable. I ached for him! And when he meets his child for the first time I just....tissue alert!

And just because I felt everything right along with Locke, Patch still managed to soften my heart towards Greer. Yes, what she did was wrong but I could see where she was coming from and how she messed things up in her mind and came up with the idea that Locke was better off not knowing. And when these two finally come together it's all fireworks and toe-curls and me cheering myself hoarse from rapturous delight!

Phew, reader conflict crisis averted. I gobbled this romantic suspense up in one sitting!

Cold Case Christmas

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.
COLD CASE CHRISTMAS

Secrets lie buried in ice...one of them can kill her

Home for Christmas after her long missing mother's body is found, nothing will keep Nora Livingstone from uncovering the truth about the cold case. Especially not Deputy Sheriff Rush Buchanan, whom she once loved and left. Even when threats become attmepts on her life, Rush can't dissuade her -- but he will protect her. Because someone is determined to bury the truth...or bury Nora.

My Review:

Whoa! Fasten your seat-belts because this is one wild, scary ride! I think this armchair sleuth popped the springs in her armchair -- it was that fast and furious. Phew! Great suspense as always with Jessica R. Patch -- she's an automatic-buy author for me because she always has a surprise or two in store for her readers. The mystery never goes quite the way you think it will and she's not above giving a reader's suspensey spidey senses a punishing shock treatment! I'm always left muttering "Well, I didn't see that coming," somewhere along the way and this book is no exception. She delivers nail-biting precision right through to the very last page.

Plus, there's lots of Christmas which isn't always the case in these romantic suspense novels and an emotional second chance romance. Honestly, I wasn't a Nora fan at first -- pretty brash and hostile and in-your-face especially when it comes to Rush. I couldn't figure out what he saw in her until Patch begins to reveal the layers of hurt suffocating Nora's heart...and soul. A truly beautiful inspirational thread that transforms all that brokenness into something divinely new.

Dangerous Obesession

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.
DANGEROUS OBSESSION

A stalker on her tail...
The Security Specialists at her side

Security expert Wilder Flynn wastes no time putting behavioral expert Cosette LaCroix under his 24/7 protection when her stalker finds her in Atlanta. Wilder keeps Cosette close to guard her from the quickly escalating threats and attacks. But can he accomplish the mission without breaking his strict code against dating employees? Or putting his heart and life at risk?

My Review:

I love Jessica R. Patch. I see her name on a book and my reader's heart does a dizzying tap-dance that leaves me lightheaded in literary anticipation. She's a click on 'buy now' and impatiently wait for delivery and then start reading before you get it out of the box kind of author! You might say I became dangerously obsessed with Dangerous Obsession. Bwahahaha!

Because.this is Wilder's story and I've been waiting on him. All quietly directing things from the background and being mysteriously closed off and aloof in the first two books of this Security Specialists series. Not that he wasn't likeable or approachable or not a great boss. More like a man of mystery -- someone who is super focused on protecting others and not so keen on opening up about himself. A kind of Gibbs type of hero.

Which really doesn't make him a good match for Cosette -- her being a therapist and all. Only, ironically, for all her encouraging the rest of the team to open up and share their emotions willy-nilly she's not all that forthcoming about certain aspects of her past either. These two are the 'pot' and the 'kettle' when it comes to closed-mouthed and the need to be in control. Which makes for gnarly good romance.

And, oh my goodness, that Wilder! I think I swooned into a liquefied state from the very first page and stayed that way right to the end (which makes turning pages kinda hard.) Honestly, I laughed, I fumed, I shivered with delight. I don't know how Cosette resisted him for as long as she did.

But, of course, it's complicated. Not just because of angst from the past but because of the truckload of angst in their present. Serious cunning stalker suspense. It kept me in a flummoxed state for most of the read. This author has a scary aptitude for sinister and she delivers an edge-of-your-seat read. I was so engrossed I didn't even take a chocolate break! Gasp!

The only rotten thing about this novel --- it's the last one in the series! Sob! And I have to say goodbye to all these characters. Double sob!!! I might still be sulking over that fact. But no worries if you haven't read the other books (but you really should!) because Dangerous Obsession can be read as a standalone....or should I say swoonalone?

Secret Service Setup

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.
SECRET SERVICE SETUP

A federal agent in the crosshairs
Can the security specialists protect him?

Secret Service agent Evan Novak becomes the target of multiple hit men when someone puts a two million-dollar bounty on his head. Is it the gunrunner he's tracking...or a traitorous agent? Framed and wanted, Evan reluctantly accepts protection from bodyguard Jody Gallagher, his former love who lost her Agency career because of him. But then the bounty is raised to include Jody...

My Review:

Eeeeeeppp! Jessica R. Patch! Eeeeep!!! That's my romantic suspense super squeal, which is more shrill than my other infatuated literary cheers. And for good reason because this author knows how to deliver an adrenaline rush of a read.

She is also horribly mean to her characters...to the point of being downright cruel which leads to a scrumptious amount of angst and mayhem. Including plenty of action packed scenes that had me wincing and ducking. And don't get me started on the first aid scenes...my complexion still has a green tinge.

The suspense is impossibly complicated with hired killers climbing out of the woodwork in a relentless stream of ingenuous murder attempts. But Jody and Evan have some equally clever counter moves. In fact, Jody has a cool superpower which definitely comes in handy a time or two.

And then there's the romance. Be. Still. My. Heart. "His sly grin tipped her heart on its side." (p 117) You and me both, Jody, and my heart hasn't righted itself yet! Even though I know what Evan did to Jody was ...well definitely hard to forgive. Even harder to forget and that keeps Jody holding him at arms length because even though the reader can see he's clearly a changed man, she isn't letting him show her that transformation -- the kind that happens when you have invited God into your life. These two dance around their buried feelings in a delicious way. Their almost kisses turned my toe curls into permanent waves. And the wicked banter -- dark humour to cut through the tension is icing on the cake.

An exquisitely marvelous example of inspirational romantic suspense that belongs on keeper shelves everywhere.

Deep Waters

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.
DEEP WATERS

Duty to Protect

Thirty feet underwater when her oxygen fails, Caley Flynn fears it's been sabotaged -- and she'll be the next to die. Her intern's already dead, her home breached and something's amiss at her Florida marine-life rescue center...but no one believes she's in danger. Except Shepherd Lightman. When Caley's brother asked him to check on her, the marine turned security specialist hoped it would be a case of calming down a nervous veterinarian. But the threats are all too real. Rescuing Caley and remaining alive isn't easy, but resisting his boss's sister is where the real danger lies. Because with his heart in the balance, he'll do whatever it takes to stop a killer who's desperate to keep a secret hidden.

The Security Specialists: Their mission is protection.

My Review:

If you like the strong, silent type in a hero, look no further. Shep is the man for you. My pulse still jumps at the thought of this tough, often brusque, ex-marine. He likes to "keep words and emotions hostage"  (p.79) which drives Caley to distraction. But it's hard to vent at someone "more machine than man." (p.20) Cue the delightful banter and sardonic comebacks. Like Caley complaining to the tight-lipped Shep that she's "not fluent in grunt." (p.29) Bwahahaha! These two made this such a fun read despite the dead body and the ever present danger. I was alternately giggling and swooning while nervously glancing over my shoulder the entire read. An exhilarating mix of romance and suspense. (And the first book in a new series -- can't wait to read them all!)

Protective Duty

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JESSICA R.
PROTECTIVE DUTY

High-risk reunion

Minutes into FBI profiler Bryn Eastman's first case since a near-fatal shooting, a brazen serial killer sets his sights on her next. Now her life -- and career -- is in the hands of her new partner, Detective Eric Hale, the man she once loved and lost. Racked with nightmares of the shooting and regrets for the tragedy that tore her and Eric apart, Bryn doesn't want Eric to discover the secrets she carries -- but she needs him. Seeing Bryn brings back memories Eric can't control. Memories of a once-in-a-lifetime love. But the tough detectives knows their only path to a second chance goes straight through a relentless killer...one who won't quit until he counts Bryn as his fifth victim.

My Review:

Published 2016 (Jessica R. Patch's 2nd Love Inspired Suspense) I 'discovered' this author about a month ago when I read her 3rd LIS book, Concealed Identity on the recommendation of a friend. A couple of weeks later I devoured book #4 (and most recent release), Final Verdict. After that I couldn't wait to read her other two books but sadly her first book is already out of print! You know this a good author when that happens. Think Irene Hannon. Lynette Eason. Early Dee Henderson.

There are so many rich layers to this story that I don't quite know where to begin. Pay attention because the simplest details carry clues that might just help you solve the mystery before Bryn and Eric. I love the way this author pulls all the important elements together to make one scrumptiously smooth read. Romance and suspense get equal billing and there's such depth to the characterization that I immediately connected with both hero and heroine.  Their highly charged relationship kept me on edge the entire read. So much promise in the midst of so many impossibilities. A read-in-one-gulp kind of book. I devoured Protective Duty in one sitting.

Final Verdict

GIVEAWAY

PATCH, JSSICA R.
FINAL VERDICT

Fatal Justice...

When Aurora Daniels becomes the target of someone seeking their own twisted justice. Sheriff Beckett Marsh is the only one who can rescue her. As a public defender, Aurora has angered plenty of people in town -- and in her past. And while Beckett constantly clashes with the feisty lawyer professionally, it's his duty to protect and serve. Guarding her 24/7 is now his sole assignment. He may not have been able to save his fiancée from a dangerous felon, but he'll do whatever it takes to keep Aurora alive. Even if working with her to catch and convict this ruthless killer puts his heart in the crosshairs.

My Review:

Man, I love how this author pulls me into a literary chokehold! Suspense, romance and faith threads all seamlessly blend together and drive me into emotional overload. That`s just plain awesomesauce!

And the hero! I got a glimpse of him (and Aurora) in Concealed Identity. and was so hoping they would be featured in the next book because their scenes sizzled. And, woohoo, here they are stirring embers into flames and curling my toes in the process.

Intriguing suspense with enough twists and turns to give a dedicated reader whiplash! Sinister danger, relentless mystery and swoonworthy romance made this a read-in-one-sitting kind of book.

Concealed Identity

GIVEAWAY

 PATCH, JESSICA R.
CONCEALED IDENTITY

Deep-Cover Assignment

After Holt McKnight's criminal informant disappears, the DEA agent must go undercover to get close to the missing man's sister, who may know more than she's letting on. But when Blair Sullivan's attacked, it's up to him to protect her -- without blowing his cover. Blair isn't sure she can trust her new neighbour, Holt. After all, the last charming and handsome man she fell for was her late husband, and he turned out to be the brother of a ruthless drug lord. Yet when it's clear the target on her back is somehow linked to her past, she has no choice but accept Holt's protection. Even if getting close is the last thing her scarred heart can handle.

My Review:

Mercy -- I can't believe I have missed out on this author's first two Love Inspired Suspense books but you can bet I'll be playing catch up right quick! Her delivery is so smooth you leave off reading and start living right from the very start. It was jarring to have to snap out of my fictional world in order to deal with mundane real-life stuff. It didn't take long for me to dive back into this absorbing suspense though.

The connection between Holt and Blair sizzles and I have the charred fingertips to prove it! And the suspense is so...suspensey. :-) Relentless danger, layers of intrigue and both Holt and Blair keeping secrets that have the potential to be more lethal than anything the bad guys can deliver all conspire to make Concealed Identity a rabid pager-turner.
