⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. Three fast-paced stories that will quench your thirst for romantic suspense.

Peril is a collection of three stories written by three outstanding romantic suspense authors. I certainly have nothing but love for these talented women. The stories share a connection through the villains that make an appearance in each one.

MY THOUGHTS

Redemption by Alexandra Ivy starts us off. It is related to the Pike, Wisconsin series. Tessa is a detective working on cold cases with Rachel, whose story can be found in Unstable. She is hot on the heels of the man who had murdered her partner in cold blood several years before. A valuable tip takes her back to Denver and into the sphere of Ian Sullivan, a fellow police officer with whom she has shared one night of passion. They find out they work well together in more ways than one. The story takes us through interesting twists and turns, leading to an unexpected development at the end.

Following this is Rescue: Hero Style by Rebecca Zanetti. Ella is bank manager in the small town of Redemption, Wyoming. She is trying her best to carry on with her life after her fiancé had broken things off with her in a note and then left town. Little did Ella know that the villains from the first story had made their way to her town to rob the bank. Caden, sheriff of Redemption and the missing fiancé, came back just in time for the fireworks to start. He had his work cut out for him to win Ella back. I loved the back-and-forth between Caden and Ella and their journey to trust each other again.

And the suspense concludes with One Last Kiss by Kat Martin. It is the prequel novella that starts off the Blood Ties: The Logans series. Libby can only claim her inheritance from her uncle if she complies with his stipulation to spend time on a ranch in Colorado. Sam Bridger was fond of Marty Hale, but he isn’t excited to babysit Marty’s niece for a princely sum of money that would go a long way to help the ranch. Their attraction grew as they spent more time together and things came to a head after an incident on a camping trip with a group of tourists on the ranch.

Each of these stories effectively combines romance with exciting action and suspense to create stories that will capture and hold your attention. These three authors have previously collaborated in a similar manner to create the equally thrilling Pivot. I can recommend both books if you love romantic suspense.
