Review – Holiday Secrets

February 1, 2018 By The Suspense Zone

DEADLY HOLIDAY REUNION 

When his ex is thrust into the crosshairs of a deadly syndicate, FBI agent Gavin McKade will do whatever it takes to protect her. Even work the case with his stubborn sheriff dad. Gavin’s holiday homecoming isn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, but he must set aside the past to make sure Lexie Grant survives. As if protecting Lexie from professional killers isn’t difficult enough, the unlikely reunion has rekindled their complicated romantic connection. But if Gavin can’t untangle Lexie from this dangerous web, the blurring line between duty and love may not matter…because this Christmas could be their last.

My thoughts: HOLIDAY SECRETS by Ms. Sleeman is the beginning of a new series. Set in Texas, the law enforcement is just as rural as the ones in my state. Laid back, ranchers, southern drawl.
It started with a literal bang, and the tension didn’t let up. Who is behind the death of Dr. Grant? Why is Lexie being threatened?  I couldn’t figure this suspense out (and I usually can). I couldn’t even make an educated guess.
If you like Texas cowboys and law enforcement, this book has the flavor down pat. You won’t be disappointed by this romantic suspense. Lots of twists and turns and of course, the black moment has you holding your breath and saying prayers.
