Romantic Suspense
Deadly Exposure
By Cara Putman
Review by Roseanna White |
Dani Richards thinks she was
getting a night off from journalism when she takes her aunt to the theater—but
that’s before she discovers a dead body in the next box. And before her old
flame Caleb arrives, now an investigator for the local police. She gets to cover
the case by default—but the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that the
killer won’t rest until she backs off. And that’s something she just can’t do. Read the full review |

already well progressed. An agent in the FBI’s Crimes Against Children Unit,

Reluctant Smuggler
By Jill Elizabeth Nelson
Review by Roseanna White |
It was supposed to be a routine
job: steal an artifact from a Mexican museum to prove to the board members that
Desi’s security company could protect it better. And it starts out well
enough—she gets the goods and makes her escape. But questions crop up soon that
make her wonder what’s really going on in Mexico and whether she wants to accept
the President’s request to help them figure out the archaeological espionage.
After all, she has a wedding to plan, and her FBI fiancé will be none too
thrilled if she finds herself in trouble!

vacationers escalates into the discovery of human remains buried outside one of
them, Janna begins to wonder if this was such a great idea after all.

Petticoat Ranch
By Mary Connealy
Review by Roseanna White
|
Yeehaw! Horses and cattle, ranches and hideouts, outlaws
and cowboys, and some booby traps for good measure—Petticoat Ranch has it
all. The story starts with tougher-than-nails Sophie Edwards, who is trying to
raise four girls on her own. After her husband was hanged by vigilantes, Sophie
couldn’t hang onto the ranch, and every man in town proposed to her. Not
feeling safe, she took her daughters and fled into the dense thicket and a
one-room shack. It’s a stormy night when a man barges into their haven, riding
fast and hard as if being chased. When he falls into the gorge, she saves
him—even though his pursuers are the same men who killed her husband. That was
shock enough. But even bigger is the one that greets her when she wipes the
mud off her guest’s unconscious face—though she cut him down from the tree
herself, she’d swear it’s her husband lying in her mule’s stall.
