Holiday Amnesia (Wrangler’s Corner #7) by Lynette Eason




Publication: December 1, 2018
Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense/Harlequin
Source: Publisher

Synopsis:

With no memory, who can she trust?

A deadly Christmas in Wrangler’s Corner

Robin Hardy survived an explosion in her university lab—but her memories are gone. With danger lurking behind every Christmas tree, she needs shelter from the attackers she can’t identify. She’ll trust fellow professor Toby Potter to safely hide her away. But when his secrets come between them, the truth could mean the difference between life and death this holiday season.


******

I am a sucker for characters losing their memory in books and in movies. And when I saw Holiday Amnesia, my interest was piqued. I liked Robin from the beginning. She has a strong determination to figure out why she is in danger. She’s also understandably frustrated that she can’t remember anything leading up to the explosion. Robin knows she and Toby share a history; she just isn’t sure what it entails. Realizing that she needs help, Robin accepts Toby’s offer to get her to safety while she attempts to recover her memories. Is that the right thing for her to do? And why does it feel like Toby is hiding something?

Toby is a professor at the same university that Robin works at. He happens to find her after the lab explosion. He gets her to safety and vows to protect her at all costs. Right before the explosion, he and Robin were at odds. Knowing that Robin may push him away again if she learns the truth, Toby is afraid to tell Robin all he knows.  That may prove to be a costly mistake…

Holiday Amnesia was a quick and entertaining read. Even though this is a romantic suspense story, the romance was not front and center. Ultimately I found I enjoyed the mystery portion of the book more than the romance between Robin and Toby. But the story did hold my interest and the twist in the story was one I did not guess right away. This was book seven in The Wrangler’s Corner series. I hadn’t read the other books previous to this, but I didn’t feel lost starting with this book. I would recommend Holiday Amnesia to readers who enjoy quick stories full of suspense, action, and light romance.



RATING: 3 out of 5.

Wrongly Accused (SWAT: Top Cops #1) by Laura Scott


Publication: April 1, 2014

Publisher: Love Inspired / Harlequin Books

Source: Publisher

A DESPERATE FATHER
Only one thing matters to Caleb O'Malley: his daughter. Framed for his wife's murder, Caleb's only wish is to see his little girl. But Noelle Whitman, his daughter's foster mother, isn't buying his plea of innocence until bullets start flying and they're running for their lives. Staying one step ahead of the real killer proves nearly impossible, but former SWAT cop Caleb will risk everything to keep them safe. Because now there is nothing more important than Noelle and his daughter—not his freedom, not even his life.
SWAT: Top Cops—Love in the line of duty.
Wrongly Accused starts off with a bang when Caleb literally makes a run for his life as well as his daughters and her foster mom, Noelle.
After being released from jail for the murder of his wife, all Caleb can think about his taking his daughter home with him and attempting to rebuild his life. Unfortunately for him, he quickly sees that things don’t always go as planned and his life is about to get a little more complicated and a lot more dangerous than it had been.
Wrongly Accused was a fairly quick read and I had no trouble getting interesting in the storyline. There are some religious undertones, which I had no issues with at all. I like suspense books that keep you on your toes and this one did the trick. The characters are realistic and the plot was filled with action and suspense.  

RATING: 3½ out of 5.

The Heiress’s Homecoming by Regina Scott






Terms of the Will:  To keep her cherished childhood home, Samantha Everard must marry by her twenty-fifth birthday. Yet she refuses to marry on a whim, not even to save her fortune. When she returns to Dallsten Manor to say goodbye, the last person she expects to see is her handsome, disapproving neighbor William Wentworth, Earl of Kendrick.

Will is certain the scandalous Everard family is nothing but trouble. He shouldn't care about Samantha's predicament, but her feistiness and kindheartedness intrigue him—as does her refusal to wed. He wants to help, especially when he perceives the threat that surrounds her. Soon his greatest wish is to persuade Samantha that her true home is with him.

********************************************************

Lady Samantha Everard returns to Dallsten Manor after being away in London just shy of nine years.  Samantha is feeling pressure from everyone close to her in regards to her will and saving the family home. Samantha does not want to marry just anyone on a whim. She knows that if she does not marry by her 25th birthday, she risks loosing her home and inheritance. She has had several offers of marriage, but because of an incident in her past, she decides early on that she will never marry. 

What she does not count on however is the curiosity and attraction she begins to feel towards William Wentworth, The Earl of Kendrick who just happens to be her younger childhood friend’s father. There is a bit of mystery to the story as Samantha reveals that her home in London was broken into and someone went through all of her belongings. She worries that whoever did that might have followed her to Dallsten Manor.


Final Thoughts:

The Heiress’s Homecoming was an entertaining read. The Romance was clean and sweet. I actually liked it more than I had anticipated which is always a good thing. I admired Samantha’s strength and determination to do what she felt was right regardless of what her family wanted her to do. This is the fourth book in the Everard Legacy Series and can be read as a stand-alone novel if you choose. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy Inspirational/Christian Historical Fiction.


Rating: 3½ out of 5.

**I received this book from Harlequin Books in exchange for nothing but my honest opinion. Thank you.**
