Intriguing and suspenseful, I was quickly drawn into this engaging adventure that balances romance and relationships with an action-packed plot.

I liked how Christian and Andi both were able to use negative things in their pasts for good, getting to know each other and bonding over faith. I liked their interaction, banter, and seeing their friendship grow. It was also great seeing the whole team work together, and get to know their friends through the sub-plots.

All around this was an enjoyable read, great character development, faith, interaction, a mystery that kept me guessing, and with a full cast of characters that I can't wait to revisit!

Thank you Bethany House and Dani Pettrey for my #gifted copy. All thoughts and words are my own.

Andi and Christian are drawn together in a suspense filled crime mystery following a string of Art Gallery heists in the South West. Along with Christian's siblings, both try to solve, not one, but two crimes. We primarily follow one romance, however I do see plans in the making for the other two couples. Psst Greyson...

I have read a few of Dani's books in the past, including her Alaska series. She writes fantastic settings, and strong action and suspense scenes with great detail. And it shows in this book!

I had a couple issues with the overall storyline. The romance felt very lackluster. I kept being drawn to one of the other relationships rather than Andi and Christian. The romance would have been stronger had the story focused primarily on them rather than mixing in other relationships.

The book also has a lot of grammatical errors which I found distracting especially since I read a finished copy.

Overall, I really enjoyed the suspense and the mystery of the story. I think that is Dani's strength for sure.

Dani Pettrey’s books are auto-reads for me. I’ve read everything she’s written and I am so excited about this new series! This first installment does not disappoint. I really like that this series revolves around a group of siblings involved in some manner of law enforcement/public service. I also enjoyed that we get dual mysteries in this story, not only do we get a series of art heists and murder, we also get a mystery regarding Andi’s past and wrongful accusations that she botched a murder investigation. Even though there are two mysteries, it’s not at all hard to keep them straight and neither mystery seems shortchanged in favor of the other mystery. My favorite thing about this story is the characters, the author has created a great group of characters and after meeting them in this book, I can’t wait to see where the series takes them. After reading this book, I am completely invested in MacLeod siblings as well as Andi, Harper and Greyson. I also hope Bristol shows up in the course of the series because I would love to see her reunite with her siblings. This read has a few surprises and lots of excitement and book 2 can’t release soon enough for me!

Love it when I read a new-to-me author and I want to find more of their books. This story involves multiple storylines, not only two investigations but three couples headed toward romance. One investigation is to clear one of them of botching a murder case. The other to solve a string of gallery heists with deadly outcomes. The MacLeods, two brothers and a sister, are skilled at research and reading each others intentions. Their story moves quickly, alternating viewpoints makes sure we get all the perspectives on both cases. The research involved about the stolen art and investigation techniques must have been fun and detailed because it reads as if Pettrey knows her stuff. I received an early copy through NetGalley and hope to read another soon. My review was given freely.

I am eager for Dani Pettrey's new series, as she is one of the best suspense Christian writers! This new series introduces us to a sibling set, and I am assuming the series will follow each of them. The first book was a really great blend of storylines - a current mystery of art gallery heists and a past crime pinned on the heroine that needs to be solved.
I thought Dani's writing was excellent as usual, and the two main characters were suitably developed (plus a few more I am eager to read more about in future books). The loves story and connection was touching.

Dani Pettrey knows how to write a suspense and her new release One Wrong Move doesn't hold back. The twists and turns fill the pages with all of the tension you need for a great story ... and then you add in the romance! This is a great start to the Jeopard Falls series and fans of romantic suspense will enjoy this one very much!

A fantastic opening to a new series! This story hits the ground running and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end!

I received an ARC through Netgalley and all opinions are my own.

Andi Forester left her FBI life behind under suspicious circumstances and now is an insurance investigator. Tired of coming up against people who won’t believe she is innocent of negligence at her FBI job, she has determined to put it behind her. When security expert, Christian O’Brady, becomes involved in the case all of Andi’s past comes rushing forward. Will Christian believe her? Can they work together to solve the case?

This story has multiple mysteries and several side characters within it, which make it interesting and action-packed too. The complex past of both Andi and Christian showed that even though they are not perfect, they can move forward and find good in their lives.

If you like putting clues together to solve cases, you’ll enjoy seeing if you can figure out who is behind the art thefts before Andi and Christian do. Clearing Andi’s name and restoring her reputation is also a large part of the story. I liked seeing Deckard (the man who found her negligent at the FBI) work on the case once again and to locate witnesses and details that were not part of the original report and findings. This is the first book in the Jeopardy Falls series, and I am looking forward to reading the next story.

Read this story for:

murder
great siblings

One Wrong Move pulled me in from the very first page. It was full of action and suspense. There were multiple story lines that all tied together. We are introduced to ex FBI agent turned insurance investigator Andi Forester, her friend Harper Grace, and private investigators the O'Brady siblings Christian, Deckard, and Riley, and Greyson Chadwick their mentor.
Andi and Christian with the help of the others are trying to solve a chain of art robberies while Harper and Deckard are trying to solve who framed Andi causing her to be fired from the FBI.

This is a first book in a new series and I can't wait to visit Jeopardy Falls again. This book is a Christian suspense read with romance sprinkled in. I definitely recommend this book and really loved the story line

Reading a novel by Dani Letter is like this:

Imagine you've purchased a thousand piece puzzle, and it's a complicated one. You open the box and begin, slowly making progress until you have a gorgeous, complete picture that takes your breath away.

That, my friend, is what it's like to devour a book by Pettrey.

She is a master puzzle builder, taking the tiniest bits and patiently crafting until the end, and it literally took my breath away.

Because I was holding it in as I raced through the final chapters!

The beginning seemed a little slow, but I enjoyed meeting the new characters in Jeopardy Falls (don't you just love that name!), and watching the story take shape.

One other thing I struggled with was names. The two main bad guys both started with C and were very similar, so I kept having to go back and check who was who.

In spite of those two concerns, that ending blew my mind, hence the five stars. So take your time, enjoy the view, and buckle up for a mind boggling conclusion you will not see coming!

My thanks to the publisher for my advance copy. My review has not been solicited, and my opinion is true and honest.

Dani Pettrey has done it again! “One Wrong Move” is another great romantic suspense novel. This one started off with a bang! It had non-stop action throughout the entire book. I enjoyed all the characters and the chemistry with the two main characters. I highly recommend this book and all of Dani Pettrey’s books.

I give One Wrong Move five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

I love this first book in the Jeopardy Falls series! Christian O’Brady, security analyst, teams up with former FBI forensic analyst Andi Forester, who is currently an insurance investigator, checking into a series of suspicious jewelry heists. There is plenty of action, revenge killings, and suspense to keep you reading into the wee hours of the morning! Excited to see what the next installment in this series will reveal!

One Wrong Move was a fast-paced thriller, and I loved the wild ride! Especially after having just finished reading another thriller that was less than thrilling, this was a great change of pace! The author did a great job of balancing out dialogue and action and making it feel seamless. If you enjoy thrillers that have Christian themes, clean romance, and plot twists, then One Wrong Move might be right up your alley :)

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an eARC of One Wrong Move. A positive review was not required, only my honest opinion. All thoughts are expressly my own.

4.5⭐This book is full of suspenseful action scenes with twists that will keep you guessing. A total mixture of adventure, mystery, faith, and romance. It is Beautifully written.

Christian was born into a family of con artists who led him into a life of crime at a young age. However, he has since turned over a new leaf and become one of the leading security experts in the country. When a series of art heists occur at a gallery that Christian had previously secured, he teams up with Andi Forester, an FBI forensic analyst. Unfortunately, one of Andi's colleagues has ruined her reputation by accusing her of mishandling evidence, putting a halt to her career. Christian and Andi must work together to catch the perpetrator, but the thief is not finished playing his game. They are running out of time to catch him.

I really enjoyed reading the story. The characters were likable and the dialogue was witty and clean. The romance between Christian and Andi was swoon-worthy and I appreciated the action and fast-paced in the story. Although I prefer romance over suspense, I found the overall story to be engaging. Christian was the perfect hero, strong and kind, and exactly what Andi needed after the betrayal from her ex-fiancé.

In One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey Christian O'Brady meets Andi Forester when one of his client's galleries is robbed. He's an elite security consultant / private investigator. She's an insurance investigator / former FBI forensic analyst. I'm sure you can see where this story is going ... trouble is brimming at every turn!
Pettrey takes us to small town Jeopardy Falls nestled in New Mexico country. I loved the quaint small town vibe that managed to attract some big time trouble.
I really enjoy the sibling interactions and the partners Pettrey has each of them paired with. While this is Christian and Andi's story we learn quite a bit about Christian's family along the way. I like how she began each ones story throughout the pages and am ready to see what comes next with Deckerd and Harper. And then the cliff hanger of Riley and Greyson. I want to know more!
This is exactly the kind of series beginning that tugs readers in and commits them from the beginning to stay through the series end.
Thank you Revell and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book. All opinions are my own.

This is a well written suspenseful book that has lots of twists and turns. There were several instances of holding my breath. There are two different crime cases that we follow along. It’s a Christian romantic suspense book. There are lot of prayers. I loved the ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through Net Galley.

When I pick up a book by Dani Pettrey, I know I am in for a wonderful suspense read that will keep me on the edge of my seat. This one was absolutely no exception.

Throughout the story, we get to see the POV from a few different characters, which I will admit took me a minute to get used to and sort who was who... once I got it all sorted, I loved seeing all the different perspectives. One of those POVs was the villain's which certainly added an extra level of suspense and creepiness that I enjoyed. Not only do we get multiple POVs, but there was actually more than one mysteries--- a cold case involving Andi and a series of art heist. While it was again a lot to keep up with, Dani told the story wonderfully and I found myself wholly invested. There were lots of twists and turns to keep me guessing and I very much enjoyed it all. And of course--- the romance! While this story mostly focusses on Andi and Christian, we're also given a bit of a glimpse as to what's to come and I found myself really looking forward to the next book.

If you enjoy a good Christian romantic suspense, this is one not to miss.

**I received a complimentary copy for consideration. All opinions are my own.

Christian O'Brady was once a con artist and thief, trained by his parents to help them. He is now a PI and security consultant trying to make amends for what he had done. Andi Forester is a former FBI Forensic analyst. She was framed by colleagues and is now working as an insurance investigator. Christian and Andi meet while working an art gallery theft.

At times it seemed like there was two stories going on. One was where Christian's brother and Andi's friend were investigating the case where Andi was framed. The other was the art thefts. Overall it was a good book and I was not disappointed in the story. It was a good mystery and kept me guessing. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

I received this book from Bethany House Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

From the beginning this book was nonstop danger and action. We get multiple perspectives, including those of the criminals. It also feels like a double love story. I loved the familial ties and hope and expect we will get to see them in future books. This is an extremely well thought out and lengthy romantic suspense thriller. There is a murder mystery, art heists, painful pasts and more all bathed with His grace. This Christian romance was sweet and well written. This was my first book by this author but I am on the edge of my seat for more.
