Texas Holiday Hideout: A Winter Romantic Suspense

We can’t get out that way..... Melissa, a young widow with a 3 year old old son, never knew her mother was in witness protection until she saw her mother being murdered! Now they are after her and her son - who can possibly protect them? This fabulous book has all the requirements for an edge-of-your-seat suspense! What with murder, kidnapping, fire and even a mole in WTSEC, you might be holding your breath until you reach the conclusion. Be ready for non-stop action and an afternoon of enjoyment with this latest offering from this author. I will admit I lost a few nails while reading this one! A copy of this book was received as a gift. This Love Inspired Suspense was published by Harlequin Books. The comments and impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

This clean Christian suspense romance is the second book in the series. It was even better than book one of the series. If you are a new reader, no worries, this is definitely a stand alone. Melissa Morgan witnessed the murder of her mother by a criminal she was able to identify. Not realizing that she was opening Pandora’s box. Melissa discovers that she and her Mom had been in the Witness Protection Program for the last 20 years, and now that danger is following her and her son, she is under the protection of the US Marshals. But there is a mole in the department and after the third threat to her life, US Marshal Miles Avery becomes her sole protector. Neither expecting that feelings would develop, but realizing there was no future for them. The lies continue when Miles decides the best place to keep her safe was to take her to his family’s ranch and tells his family she is his wife. But the danger follows them to the ranch. Who is the mole? Will they survive the danger? If they do, will their time together be only a memory? The plot was engaging and the characters well developed . Another winner by this talented author. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Texas Holiday Hideout is exciting from the start. Melissa and Miles are well-developed and very likable characters that take you so into the story, you'll need to unwind a bit after you finish it! The plot has twists and turns that keep interest very high and moves at a perfect pace. Faith is woven naturally into the story. I loved the Ackerman family; and their ranch makes a perfect setting. I definitely plan to read more of this series and other works by Virginia Vaughan. I highly recommend this compelling book to romantic suspense readers, clean/wholesome romance readers, Christian fiction readers, and to readers who like a lot of action. I received a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this gripping romantic suspense.
