I thoroughly enjoy the Love Inspired Suspense line. The main characters are together and stick together, the energy is high with lots of action, and I can always count on a satisfying conclusion where the hero gets his girl and the criminal is caught. Despite knowing the ending will be happy, the journey to get there is heart pumping and enjoyable. Today, taking a peak at the first in the Coldwater Bay series from Elizabeth Goddard.

In My Opinion

As someone who has been to the Washington coast, I know the water is both beautiful and dangerous. In her newest release, Elizabeth Goddard paints the picture of both.

When Sadie Strand wakes up on a sinking boat, she has no memory of how she got there other than investigating her best friend’s death. She is rescued by the Coast Guard, and the man who pulls her out of the water is a friend from her past.

Even though some of my family lives in Washington state (and I used to live close enough to make the drive to Seattle in a day), I have not visited the area in which Colleen Coble’s new series is set. But one day, I might get there!

In My Opinion

Colleen Coble is one of those authors who you know is going to give you a good read anytime you pick up a book with her name on the front.

In her newest series, Coble takes readers to the Puget Sound area of Washington state.

In spite of their differences, Trey Walker Stafford knows he owes his life to cowboy and legendary rancher Sam Stafford–the uncle who rescued him after his parents’ death. Trey had left the Double S Ranch to pursue music against Sam’s wishes, but returns to central Washington when he learns he’s the best match for a procedure that could save Sam’s life. Although Trey’s found country music fame and success, he’s also endured the tragic loss of his wife. He croons about love, but struggles with a yawning emptiness he can’t explain.

Overwhelmed by a growing list of challenges, but mistrustful of Stafford men, single mother Lucy Carlton reluctantly accepts Trey’s help to revive her crumbling farm when Sam instructs him to repay the overdue debt to her family.

As the two grow closer, Trey slowly begins to open his heart to this beautiful woman and strives to let go of the grief he’s held for years. Lucy has a complicated history of her own. Can Trey accept her as she is, learn to forgive the past, and find the elusive peace he’s sought for so long?
