About the Book

Pilot Dodge Kingston has always been the heir to Sky King Ranch. But after a terrible family fight, he left to become a pararescue jumper. A decade later, he’s headed home to the destiny that awaits him.

That’s not all that’s waiting for Dodge. His childhood best friend and former flame, Echo Yazzie, is a true Alaskan–a homesteader, dogsledder, and research guide for the DNR. Most of all, she’s living a life Dodge knows could get her killed. One of these days she’s going to get lost in the woods again, and his worst fear is that he won’t be there to find her.

When one of Echo’s fellow researchers goes missing, Echo sets out to find her, despite a blizzard, a rogue grizzly haunting the woods, and the biting cold. Plus, there’s more than just the regular dangers of the Alaskan forests stalking her . . .

Will Dodge be able to find her in time? And if he does, is there still room for him in her heart?

Formula of Deception by Carrie Stuart Parks – Review & Giveaway

July 20, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 3 Comments

A few months ago, I bit the bullet and listened to my first audiobook. I was skeptical, wondering how much of the story I would actually retain? How often would I be backtracking? Now I find myself going through my TBR and determining which books I can add to my Audible account. Including Formula of Deception, this month’s new release from Carrie Stuart Parks.

In My Opinion…

At first, I thought it might be because I was listening to the audiobook, but other reviewers have mentioned the same thing, so that may not be it. There were a lot of characters to keep track of in this book. And at least a couple times, someone is introduced only to become part of the ever-rising body count.

Mountain Refuge by Sarah Varland (Review)

Psst, let me tell you a secret (ok, if you visit regularly, it’s probably not such a secret). I am a little addicted to the Love Inspired lines (especially the Love Inspired Suspense line). When I read the description of Sarah Varland’s Mountain Refuge, I knew I needed to read it.
