This book is not my usual fiction genre. I usually tend to read Christian historical romance but this one is a contemporary suspense story. I have read other books by this author so I was fairly certain I would like it. I wasn’t wrong. I never really thought very much about artifact theft as being particularly exciting but this author makes its very suspenseful and exciting!
It begins with a mysterious plane crash and discovery of a dead body, seemingly unrelated. The search and rescue that takes place brings together two former love interests who haven’t seen each other in several years. In the process of tracking down leads and investigating, a plot involving stolen ancient artifacts is uncovered. Jack Tanner and Terra Connors have to find a way to cooperate and work together to solve several mysteries.
This is publicized as Christian fiction, and it is, however: I would categorize it more as clean romance fiction. The character’s faith certainly plays a part in their personalities but it’s very subtle.
This is from the publisher’s website:
“Hidden
crimes. Open threats. Long-buried secrets.
They'll be fighting for the truth--and their lives.
Former FBI Special Agent Jack Tanner is working as a detective in Montana when
he comes across a body in the national forest during a search and rescue
mission. He's committed to finding the killer, even if it means working
alongside his old flame, US Forest Service Special Agent Terra Connors.
When Terra discovers that the murder victim had ties to a powerful and
dangerous trafficker of archaeological artifacts, the investigation takes a
deadly turn--one that hits too close to home. As Terra fears she lacks the
courage to face what comes next, Jack is more determined than ever to protect
her. But he's failed her before.
If he fails this time, it will cost them far more than just their hearts”
This book is book one of the Rocky Mountain Courage series.
