GoodReads Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romance, suspense, contemporary; Christian faith elements

     A perfect romantic suspense read! More of a 4.5 for me as a reader, but loved the pacing, characters, and the back and forth between the characters, suspects, and the unfolding clues to the two crimes that were paralleled in the novel. Great cast of the CGIS team, and their back stories that gradually come out over the course of the novel. The prayers and faith expressed by the characters as they navigated their jobs, and lives was naturally woven into the novel, just as it would be in real life for a Christian, perfectly incorporated and a nice aspect to this novel.
     The two main characters, Rissi and Mason's, unfolding romance was so beautifully crafted and told. Their past hurts, past history, and the feelings they had and have were so well portrayed as they worked their case. Loved the hints of other romantic interests in this novel, and can't wait to read their stories as well. Setting on the Oil Rig with all the intricacies of the crimes and case made for an even more intense and suspenseful read.
     This was a book I made time to read all in one day (meals got in the way). Can't wait to read the next book in this series, and go back and read the first!
     I received an ARC from the publisher, my opinions and thoughts are my own.
