As a mystery/thriller read with Christian themes, it did very well. It is very fast paced and that plot line kept me interested. Second chance romance is one of my favorite romantic tropes because you usually get that tension of “we used to know each other but are now strangers” that I really enjoy. This is where this book fell flat for me. The romantic ending was too much for the very brief moments where the main characters aren’t running for their lives. I needed much more conversation to warrant where we end up in the story. It is a very short book which is nice at times but I think adding a little length to better develop the emotional/romantic connection would have been a good choice.

I read this on audio and thought the narrator was a good choice. I usually prefer a male narrator if we get dual point of view (even if it isn’t written in first person) but this one worked well enough with one.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy. The thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Content Notes: Kisses

This is a Second Chance Romantic Suspense. I listened to the audiobook for this book, and I really enjoyed it. This is a very fast paced book with a ton of suspense with a little bit of the second chance romance in the background. I got totally pulled into this plot, and I could not put this book down. I loved all the action in this book. There were also some great heartfelt moments in this book that touched my heart. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Marielle Coleman soon realizes that she and her foster son Ian are in danger. They barely escape when she realizes an intruder had broken into her home. Marielle grabs Ian and the only safe place she might be able to get to is a remote camp. Shockingly, Marielle runs away from one dander to another. She has run into her ex-fiancé, Graham Flynn, an undercover DEA agent.

Graham, temporarily residing at the cabin, is in a state of respite, mourning the loss and grappling with the guilt of his young informant. It has been ten years since Marielle and Graham have seen one another. They broke up when Graham chose his career after a life with Marielle.

They are not safe, and a brutal blizzard only intensifies their level of danger. The duo, while diligently protecting Ian, is in for an exhilarating yet perilous journey. This captivating tale is replete with danger at every turn. Neither Marielle nor Travis has ever relinquished their unwavering faith, which fortifies them both as the peril escalates. The captivating narration and nonstop action make this a thrilling read from beginning to end.

Many thanks to Love Inspired Suspense and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
