Blue Ridge Mountain Escape by Loretta Eidson

 All Haley wanted was a vacation.  A time to relax and destress.  She goes to the mountains to a secluded cabin.  She is woke up in the middle of the night by three escaped convicts.  She is knocked around and left unconscious.  When she comes to, Kendall, a fireman is telling her they must leave immediately.  The forest is on fire.  This is their story of surviving against a forest fire and escaped convicts against all odds.  Haley is concerned about the convicts salvation and takes every opportunity to tell them about Jesus.  Kendall wants to prove to his dad that fighting fires is important.  Not going into the family welding business.  

There's not a mystery in this book. But there is a lot of running for your life from fire.  It kept me reading.

Tracking the Tiny Target by Connie Queen

This was a story about a women who left an abusive and criminal husband.  She turned him in and now he's serving time.  What she doesn't know is that he has escaped and is out for revenge.  What better way than to kidnap his son.  Not that he particularly wants his son.  But that would be the best way to hurt his ex-wife.  Enter a K-9 Sheriff Deputy.  Parts of the story was believable.  But it's hard to believe a deputy would let the child's mother go with him to check things out. 

This was no edge of your seat book.  But still an enjoyable read.

Break of Day by Colleen Coble

This is the third book in the Annie Pederson series.  I highly recommend that they be read before reading this book.  Also, they need to be read fairly close together.  I read the first two book in the series when they came out.  When I started to read this book I felt like I had walked into the middle of a movie.  I sort of knew what was going on.  It took me a while to figure out who was who and where they fit into the story.  It was mentioned that Jon was injured but not how or why.  A short blub would have been helpful to refresh my memory.  The relationship between characters wasn't clear either unless you've read the first two book.  

After I figured out the characters again and the story line, the book held my interest in a typical Colleen Coble book.  The villian was a complete surprise surprise and I never guessed who it was.  

I would have given this book a 4 star rating if not for confusing beginning I mentioned previously.

Double Indemnity by Robert Whitlow

This was an interesting book.  It centers around a lawyer, Liz, who is hired to check into what a woman would get if she would filed for divorce and a minister, Connor, who is doing marriage counseling for the same woman and her husband.  The woman is very demanding and manipulative.  Liz is just starting out and wants to do a good job.  Connor is very conscientious and tries to do everything the proper way.  When the book first starts out it didn't seem to me that he had a very close relationship to the Lord.  As the book progressed his eyes were opened to what a real relationship was.  He had a rough road along the way to that relationship.  Liz starts attending the church that Connor pastors and also wants to know more about the Lord.  The mystery was good.  I will say I figured out the who done it before the end of the book.  The down side of the book is that I found parts of the book to be rather boring.  Especially the parts where he was on a hike and the area was described in great detail.

The Laws of Attraction by Mary Connealy

This is the second book in the Wyoming Sunrise Series.  I recommend reading the first book in the series before reading this one.  You will understand better what is going on.

This book is about Nell Armstrong who is a seamstress.  But she makes more chaps for men than dresses.  She is also knows her way around a crime scene.  When the stage coach robbers strike again, she helps the doc in trying to save the life of the one survivor.  The problem with that is the robbers don't want anyone to be able to identify them.  She is also making dresses for Brand's daughters in exchange for them working in the store.  Brand and his daughters are now in danger also.  

This is a fast paced book with a good mystery.  I highly recommend it.
