Canyon Survival

*I received a copy as part of the blog tour. This does not affect this review or my thoughts. This review is voluntary.* Canyon Survival picks up right in the middle of the action, and keeps a similar steady pace throughout! Filled with danger and mystery this one is a quick read! I loved meeting this couple and seeing them learn both about who's after them, and learn to trust and work together as a team as well!

Canyon Survival By Connie Queen She has no idea who she is or why someone is trying to kill her. All she knows is that she has to keep the two young children in her care safe at all costs. But can she trust the stranger who comes to their aid? Riggs Brenner has turned away from everything outside his canyon home. The past with its regrets are his constant companions. He let down the two most important people in his life when they most needed him and he's not about to make the same mistake twice. The young woman whose life depends on just how well he can defend her and her two young charges has put his former FBI senses on alert - is she truly a victim of amnesia? Or is it all an elaborate hoax? Only time will tell and Riggs isn't about to let the answers to his questions go unanswered. Canyon Survival opens on a cliff, literally. We, as readers, are left wonder just how did our Jane Doe and two young children end up where they were. And like our heroine we have questions as to her identity and why someone seems intent on ending her life. Slowly answers are revealed but in the process more questions surface. The action and suspense are steady throughout with a slow upbuild towards the end that will have you moving closer to the edge of your seat, unless like me, you are laden down with Dachshunds. This is a book you won't want to put down as you seek to understand just what happened and why it was such BIG deal. I have not read Connie Queen before and found her writing to be engaging, the characters have a depth to them, and the background settings provide enough to allow your mind's eye to take it all in. I highly recommend this as a good get-to-know-the-author book. I personally look forward to reading previous and future books from her. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.

Annie (Stormy) Tillman wakes up lying in the dirt and instantly knows she is in a dangerous situation. She has no idea who she is, how she ended up on a cliffside with two young children, or why she is being shot at. She only knows she needs to get the children to safety. Former FBI agent Riggs Brenner had quit law enforcement and moved to Palo Duro Canyon after his wife and daughter died. He felt like had let them down by not keeping them safe. He didn’t want to get involved in whatever was going on with Stormy. But his protective instinct kicks in as they try to outrun the gunmen and keeping the children and Stormy alive becomes his priority. This book starts out fast-paced and intense which continues until the very end. It’s packed with action, twists and turns, intrigue, and danger that will have you on the edge of your seat. Stormy and Brigg’s pasts were filled with heartache and guilt but they both hold on to their faith to get them through. This was a wonderful Love Inspired Suspense and I enjoyed reading it. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
