Deadly Revenge by Patricia Bradley

 



While this was a great end of the series, I did enjoy being back in Pearl River and seeing familiar faces. As well as the suspense and mystery that this book had. It was the mystery and suspense that kept me turning the page. I loved getting to know Jenna Hart better now that she’s a small town deputy.  As well as seeing small town Tennessee police work with the TBI working together in the form of Agent Maxwell Anderson. However my only complaint was that the relationship between the hero and heroine felt somewhat rushed.

Fatal Witness by Patricia Bradley review


 Title: Fatal Witness

Author: Patricia Bradley

Ch: 69

Pg: 384

Series: Pearl River 2

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Revell

Fatal Witness is the second book in the Pearl River Series by Patricia Bradley and I have to say that it’s my favorite in the series so far. We meet the hero Mark Lassiter in the first book in the series so this is indeed a series that one needs to read in order. Mark is a K-9 officer for the county. He's also an Army Veteran and sniper who this reader is convinced he has PTSD. But it's his faith that helps to make him a good hero.  
Dani Bennett is a potter who has no memory of her life prior to moving to Montana with her uncle. Little does she know her Grandmother Mae Richmond has been looking for; for twenty five years.

I took my time with this one because I didn’t want it to end. But it was one that I could have easily finished in one day if I didn’t need to be a responsible adult and go to work the next day because I just had to find out what happened. I’m just a little sad that I guessed the bad guy before they figured it out.

Fatal Witness was my favorite kind of romantic suspense suspenseful with a hint of romance. Mark was the perfect romantic suspense hero not perfect he had his flaws, but he was a good man trusting God. And with Mae this book shows just how far the love of a grandmother goes for her granddaughter. I loved the faith content I just wished we knew where Dani was on her faith journey.

I look forward to the final book in the series.

Counter Attack by Patricia Bradley review

Title: Counter Attack 

Author: Patricia Bradley

Ch: 72

Pg: 378

Series: A Pearl River book 1

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Rating: 4.5 stars

Publisher: Revell

 

I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Counter Attack by Patricia Bradley because even though I tend to love small town law enforcement stories I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance stories. But I didn’t need to worry. As the romance in this one is only a small part of the story.

Alexis Stone is a Chattanooga police officer who wants to be police chief. She has no desire to go back to her small hometown of Pearl River though the grandparents who raised her are still there. Nathan Landry is the police chief of Pearl River. He never wanted to leave his small town and he’s Alexis high school boyfriend. Neither one is looking for romance when an emergency lands Alexis back in town as the acting sheriff and both of them trying to stop a serial killer.

As someone who only likes a little bit of romance with my romantic suspense this one was perfect. What I loved about this one the most was the faith aspect, while Alexis is running from God he’s running after her and he uses her grandma to do it. The faith of that woman reminded me so much of my own grandma. And I just loved her stubborn grandpa.

Counter Attack was a quick read I kept turning pages because I just had to know what happened. It’s not every day you find a romantic suspense set job in a small town that involves a serial killer. The only drawback for me as a reader is that I figured out the bad guy before the heroine and hero did. Even though there are clues throughout the book it’s not enough for most readers to pick it up, but if you read as much suspense as I do then you may also piece together the clues. However, it didn’t take away my enjoyment of the book and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Deception by Patricia Bradley review

Author:  Patricia Bradley

Ch: 76 Plus Epilogue

Series: Natchez Trace Park Rangers book 4

Genre:  Christian Suspense

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

 

Deception by Patricia Bradley is the fourth and final book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series: I enjoyed this one, but it wasn’t my favorite of the series. While the case was interesting it was Madison’s personal journey and story that kept me turning pages to find out what happened.

Crosshairs by Patricia Bradley

Title:  Crosshairs

Author:  Patricia Bradley

Ch: 71

Pg:  373

Series: Natchez Trace Park Rangers

Genre:  Christian Romantic Suspense Christian

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell

Crosshairs by Patricia Bradley is the third book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series, and I think it’s my favorite of the series. I loved Ainsley and Lincoln banter. I normally don’t like second chance romances but for some reason throw in suspense and mystery it works.

Lincoln as a former FBI sniper it’s dealing with PTSD and survivor guilt at least in my opinion. Which makes him a believable hero. Because no one is prefect everyone has flaws. Ainsley must learn to trust again all while trying to find a killer or killers before she becomes the next victim.

Lincoln might be former FBI turned Park Ranger, but he doesn’t step on Ainsley’s toes as an investigative service ranger as it’s her case. He knows she can handle it probably better than he can. He just wants to be there.

Crosshairs had the perfect balance of romance and suspense and mystery that kept me turning the pages. I look forward to the final book in the series coming out next year. And even though each book in the series is a standalone book I recommend reading them in order.

Obsession by Patricia Bradley review


Title:  Obsession

Author:  Patricia Bradley

Ch: 75

Pg:  384

Series: Natchez Trace Park Rangers book 2

 Genre:  Christian Suspense with a hint of romance

 Rating: 4 stars

 Publisher: Revell

 

Obsession by Patricia Bradley is the second book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series. And while I didn’t love it as much as the first book in the series i did enjoy it. Though I could have done without the chapters from the point of view of the stalker. Trigger warning for stalkers.

Emma was a pretty awesome heroine and Sam’s not a bad hero himself. Not to mention this suspense novel includes one of my favorite tropes second chances. But the romance didn’t overpower the suspense. But I do think this was a little too suspenseful this time. I would have finish it in one day if the suspense had become tense and stressful but it was still good.

The only con I had was that it was easier to figure out who the stalker was. But I think that was because i read a lot of suspense and mysteries but those who are new to genre won’t have that problem. I do look forward to the next book in the series.

Standoff by Patricia Bradley review


 Title: Standoff

Author: Patricia Bradley

Ch:78

Pg: 392

Series: Natchez Trace Park Rangers book 1

Genre:Christian romantic suspense

Rating:4 stars

Publisher: Revell

Standoff the first book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series is the first book I’ve read by Patricia Bradley. I enjoyed the first book in this series.

Brooke Danvers a park ranger turned Law Enforcement is determined to find out who murdered her father. Luke Fereday a former Army Ranger and National Park Ranger is determined to keep her safe. These two have a past together as well as Trust issues. That may affect their ability to do their current jobs.

Standoff started off a little slow but by chapter 12 it picked up and was an enjoyable read from that point onward. The secondary characters were enjoyable and I look forward to Emma’s story in the second book in the series. The Ancestry DNA secondary storyline was interesting as well as Brookes interest in her family genealogy to me as a genealogy nerd myself.

I look forward to the next book in this series as well as Patricia’s back list books. I recommend this book to fans of romantic suspense.
