Canyon of Deceit by DiAnn Mills

Therese Palmer is a wilderness survival expert who gets called to search for a kidnapped child.  She reaches out to Texas Ranger Blane Gardner for help, who she has known for awhile. It's a dicey rescue as the child is the child of a Russian professor who is teaching in the US.  He wants no police involved.

The book started out slow.  There was a lot of descriptions about how to hike and rock climb.  I found myself skipping pages to get through all of that.  About half way through the book I felt the actual story line began.  With Therese and Blane going after the child.  I didn't skip a lot of pages in the last half.

I did like the fact that this wasn't a love at first sight book.  Therese and Blane has know each other and had even dated a few times.  Therese wouldn't go out on any more dates with Blane when she found out he wasn't interested in God.  

I've always been a fan of DiAnn Mills books.  But this one just didn't hit the mark for me.

Overall this was a good mystery.  It moved a little slow in spots, but I did enjoy it. This is part of a series but it is not necessary to read the first book.

Legends of Gold by Mary Connealy

This is second book in the Golden State Treasure series.  I was excited for this book to come out as the first book was very good.  It didn't disappoint.  This book is Josh and Tilda's story.  Tilda arrives at Two Hart Ranch looking for two runaway boys from the orphan train.  Tilda gets a surprise when someone shows up at the ranch claiming to be her brother.  She has always believed she was an orphan and had no family. All is not as it seems.  A great book from start to finish.  The teaser at the end of the book makes me anxious to read the next installment.
