"Missing in Texas" is a romantic suspense novel. Although a part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone. Mike has worked a cold case that haunts him: the disappearance of his cousin's girlfriend. He saw her shortly before she disappeared. Christy, her roommate, chose to take a vacation with a boyfriend rather than go home with her roommate like she'd promised. Feeling guilty and unable to date again until this case is solved, she's investigating the case for herself. Christy thinks Mike's cousin is the obvious suspect as his girlfriend was going to break up with him. Mike's certain that it must be someone else. They team up, hoping their knowledge of the case and conflicting views about what likely happened will help them consider all of the possibilities.

Christy and Mike generally worked well together. They questioned people, considered various possibilities, and followed up on leads. Then Christy went off on her own (without telling Mike) to follow up on a lead and ended up needing to be rescued. But, hey, they did solve the case, complete with evidence. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable romantic suspense.

This was a great book! It was a little different than the other LIS books I’ve read. It had a different plot. This book was very interesting and easy to read. I highly recommend this one!

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

I really enjoyed this book! The plot was fresh and interesting and I really enjoyed the characters, as well as their different personalities!

Missing in Texas is the second book in the Lone Star Defenders series. FBI Agent Christy Williams heads to Texas to work the cold case of her friend who disappeared over ten years ago. This story is good and keeps you on your toes.

I received an advanced reader’s copy from Harlequin and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

The moment FBI agent Christy Williams arrives in Mercy, Texas, determined to solve her friend’s disappearance twelve years ago, she becomes a killer’s number one target. Ignoring the threats on her life, she partners with Deputy Mike Tyner, the cousin of one of the chief suspects…and the last person to see her friend alive. As they work to investigate this cold case together, it becomes clear someone will stop at nothing to keep the past hidden. With time running out, can Mike keep Christy alive long enough to find justice for her friend…before a murderer strikes again?! Very good storyline! Great thriller! This book had great suspense, intriguing, action, murder, mystery, and a few crazy twists and turns! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Finished this in one night!! Wow!
Fast paced from page one all the way through I loved every minute of guessing in who did it.
Finished it a 2 in the morning because I couldn't put Dawn's story down until it was over.
Vaughn is an excellent storyteller of faith, mystery and hope in her stories.
It's what I love about her stories.
I'm surprised about a few things in this book however. I won't say but I thought certain things wasn't allowed on a case even if cold cases like this one. I think to me, it what made this story exciting and interesting.
This cover is cool. It's different from her other ones. It will be my favorite cover and story to come.
5 stars for a job well done!
And for keeping me engaged all the way through. Wonderful characters that I enjoyed in getting to know too!
I got mad at Mike several times just because of certain things he did and said.
Christy at times wasn't any better of course but I found myself rooting for them.
I hated to see this one end. It was fantastic!
I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine
