Texas Christmas Cover-Up - by Terri Reed (Paperback)

Twists, turns, and long hidden secrets...Texas Christmas Cover-Up is a real page-turner! What was meant to be a brief return to San Padre Island immediately turned into a heart-pounding race to stay alive for Kara Evans and the police chief trying to protect her. Suddenly, Kara was forced to accept help from the man who broke her heart so long ago! Texas Christmas Cover-Up is a tantalizing web of suspense, constant peril, and romantic tension. I was captivated by the clues surrounding the cold case murder of Kara's father, and I also loved the peek into Kara and Jeremy's tumultuous past. Working together, remembering they were each other's first love, and Jeremy's increasing affection for Kara's little girl, Emily---was there a chance for a future together? I also enjoyed catching up with characters from a previous visit to San Padre Island! Kudos to author Terri Reed for this engaging romantic Christian suspense novel. I received a complimentary copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review. I am voluntarily sharing my own thoughts.

Texas Christmas Cover-Up by Terri Reed grabbed my attention right away. It is a fast-paced story set during the holiday season. The author’s vivid descriptions of South Padre Island allowed me to envision it. I enjoyed getting to know Kate, Jeremy, and Kate’s daughter, Emily. I also liked Jeremy’s family. They did not hesitate to help Kate and her daughter and do their best to make it a pleasant holiday for the pair. I enjoyed the mystery (I love solving whodunits). There are clues, twists and turns, and a red herring or two. I zeroed in on who I thought was the guilty party, and I could not wait to see if I was correct. The action kept things lively. Texas Christmas Cover-Up combines mystery, suspense, family, romance, and faith into an engaging story.
