A cold case turns hot as new threats emerge and FBI analyst finds herself in the crosshairs of two killers, she must rely on her best friend to unravel the case before she becomes the next victim.

An action packed read, that kept me guessing. I loved the relationship between Chelsey and Tack, they have known each other for years and have a strong background of trust between them, it was satisfying to see them give love a chance. I liked the strong bond between the two of them as well as their friendships with those that they worked with.

This was a well paced, entertaining read, with great relationship building, and great dialogue. I liked the suspense, and the dual danger of the past and present colliding.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I enjoyed the mystery and suspense. There is a serial killer on the loose. Who is it? I thought I had it all figured out, but I was wrong and I watch Hallmark mysteries and movies lol. Both of the main characters were dealing with a lot of old feelings that sometimes held them back. We all carry baggage, but we are supposed to be who God wants us to be was a main theme.

This was a really exciting and action packed book! I liked the cold case focus of the story, too, and was very interested to see if Chelsey and Tack could figure out how the murder suspects were connected and how a serial killer had stayed under the radar for so long in the little Texas town.

I liked the connection between Chelsey and Tack and the thin line they walked between friendship and romantic love. Both of them had reasons that kept them from moving their friendship into more and those reasons made sense to them, yet it was clear that they were made for each other.

This story kept me guessing and had threats coming at Chelsey and Tack from what seemed like all directions. There was good romantic tension, as well, plus secrets and guilt that our main characters had to wade through.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I look forward to reading more!

Chelsey is back after realizing that someone in the past she helped put behind bars might not even be in jail. Then a couple incidents happen and now she's trying to get her best friend Tack for help. She hasn't really told Tack everything and still holding a couple secrets that if gotten out could ruin things.

I thought this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it. First theres that secret Chelsey is hiding from others the guilt she is holding. Its manages to cause her to have that bit of a boundary for others. I mean her father was a con man and she could've went that way but ended up choosing a route that'll better herself, having a father like he was was complicating things. Then theres the whole things of maybe being wrong in the past when doing her job and questioning if she put the wrong person behind bars. There is so much going on to keep any readers interested and I really enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed “Texas Cold Case Threat” by Jessica R. Patch. This is the first book in the Quantico Profilers series, and I can’t wait to read the next one! I love books that deal with cold cases, and this one didn’t disappoint. There was a lot of suspense and non-stop action. Even a little romantic tension was thrown in. This book was easy to read, and I had a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy good, clean, romantic suspense novels. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the first book in the Quantico Profilers series. I really loved the characters in this book. The suspense/mystery in this book was so very good, and there was so much put into book. I love that the mystery was fast pace, and the romance in this book is slow moving friends to lovers. I did not see the twist in this book coming, and it was so great. I did not want to put this book down, and I could not read it fast enough. Love this book so much. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Love Inspired Suspense) or author (Jessica R. Patch) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Texas Cold Case Threat is the first book that I have read by Jessica R. Patch and it will not be the last. It is about a FBI behavioral analyst Chelsey Banks, who just got news that has sent her reeling and retreating to a ranch that is owned by a friend of her best friend. She just found out that her profile was wrong, which led to an innocent man being sent to prison where he was later killed by another inmate. She only found out because the real killer is sending her taunting letters. Unbeknownst to her danger has followed her and she has also stepped into another killer’s crosshairs as well. Chelsey ends up being attacked while trying to save a young woman from the hands of a killer, which ends up being connected to her best friend Texas Ranger Tack Holliday’s cold case. Can these two outmaneuver not one but two killers before it is too late? Read Texas Cold Case Threat to find out. This was a fast romance with just the right amount of suspense and faith thrown in. This is the first in the Quantico Profilers series and I can’t wait to read the next one.

"Texas Cold Case Threat" is a Christian romantic suspense. Chelsey felt compelled to put criminals in prison to balance out the thefts that her father committed. In the past, she bragged that she'd never gotten a profile wrong and claimed credit for closing cases. Then the true killer in one case convinced her in a letter that she made a mistake once. While still certain that's the only mistake she's made, she's not confidant when making new profiles. Tack's investigating a serial killer targeting Mexican immigrant women and asked for her help in profiling the killer. She's not certain of her profile and several people seem like strong suspects. (Though I thought it was pretty obvious whodunit matched what little she gave for a profile and quickly realized it was him.)

Chelsey and Tack were friends for years and realized how much they cared for each other as events threatened their lives. They worked well together as they tried to solve whodunit while staying alive. The suspense came from someone repeatedly attacking them and others. With two killers out to get her, you'd think she'd be cautious. While I liked what the author was trying to do with the growth of the characters, I found it exasperating that Chelsey often seemed oblivious to possible danger. There was no sex or bad language.
