Genre:
  Romantic Suspense Novella Collection

Brace yourself for double the suspense in these snowbound adventures as an avalanche forces two couples to face down their enemies in a ski resort shut off from the outside world. 

In Buried in Shadows by Dani Pettrey, Cassandra Parker arrives at her best friend's destination wedding, praying her stalker hasn't tracked her to Colorado. Also part of the wedding party is Sheriff Joel Brunswick, the man she stunned by leaving at the altar to hide a dangerous truth. When an avalanche strands their ski group in an abandoned lodge, it becomes chillingly clear that Cassandra's stalker has followed her . . . and he's willing to kill to make her his. 

In Snowbound Secrets by Lynette Eason, Dr. Maya Sullivan fully intends to escape her past and finish planning a retreat for military veterans at the ranch she's inherited. Unfortunately, her plans go sideways when an avalanche traps her in a Colorado ski resort. An unexpected reunion with her high school crush forces her to confront past wounds, but she soon realizes someone is targeting her, and their search for a shadowy enemy becomes a matter of life and death.  

A gripping romantic suspense novella collection from bestselling authors Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey featuring second-chance romance, trapped together forced proximity, military and law enforcement heroes, a small-town destination wedding, and snowbound survival at a Colorado ski resort.

EXCERPT FROM BURIED IN SHADOWS BY AUTHOR DANI PETTREY:

Cassie bolted upright in bed, sweat- drenched and lungs burning. Her gaze flashed to her bedroom door. Still locked with the bar across it.

Windows. She darted a glance at each. All down. The extra locks she’d installed holding.

Struggling for a solid breath, she got to her feet, the floor frigid beneath them.

Reaching in her nightstand, she retrieved her SIG, clasping the gun in her left hand.

You’re overreacting. It’s been a year. He’s not here.

Make sure, a voice whispered on the howling wind.

She grasped the bar and, taking a deep breath, lifted it up and opened the door to darkness. Grabbing the flashlight she’d positioned on her dresser, she clicked it on and stepped into the hallway.

Sweeping the house in fear he’d be hiding around the next corner, she moved in a swift manner, following the pattern she used every night to clear her home before bed. Every night and every time she returned to her home.

It’d be a year without a note. Without any sign of him, but he terrorized her still.

When she reached the kitchen, her rigid muscles eased some,her breath less shallow.

Thank you, Lord.

She leaned back against the kitchen counter, her gaze falling to her open cookbook in its wooden stand on the granite countertop.

She lifted her flashlight, centering on the book.

Horror coursed through her at the sight of the linen envelope.

He was back.

MY REVIEW:

Fasten your seatbelt and tighten up your shoulder harness! These novellas by two of the genre's top authors will keep you second-guessing your suspicions until the very end . . .

Buried in Shadows written by Author Dani Pettrey: 

I have enjoyed reading several of this author's books in the past few years, and I am never disappointed by her unique characters and settings. She has an uncanny way of weaving tension, danger, romance, and faith together to create memorable stories for her readers.

The setting for this story is a destination wedding at a ski lodge in Silver Pines, Colorado. Cassie Parker was pursued by a violent stalker for a year before he ceased contacting her. It's been a year of no contact, but she has not been able to let go of the stress and strain the stalker has forced upon her.

Sheriff Joel Brunswick, Cassie's former fiancé and brother of the bride, is also a member of the wedding party. He was devastated by Cassie's abandonment at the altar and still loves her deeply.

The wedding party includes seven bridesmaids and seven groomsmen who are enjoying a variety of adventure snow activities when a massive avalanche strands the large group at the resort. The group is able to get past the avalanche to find shelter in an abandoned ski lodge with no electricity and no water. What it does provide is the perfect setting for a romantic suspense novel filled with close calls, gripping tension, red herrings, and some excellent law enforcement skills which benefit the entire group.

This story is completely clean in language and content. The faith thread is strong and well-written.

******************

Snowbound Secrets written by Author Lynette Eason:

I have read a few of this author's previous novels, and I appreciate the way she introduces diverse characters into her stories. I come from a family with a long military history which makes me a fan of military fiction.

This story, set at the Silver Pines Resort in Colorado, includes diverse characters along with several military veterans who are dealing with their own horrible memories from their time spent in combat.

Dr. Maya Sullivan has every intention of overcoming her combat nightmares, but has not found the right combination of things that will make her goal a reality.

During the trip, Maya and fellow veterans from her childhood, Gideon and Vance, are trapped after a severe avalanche closes the entrance to resort. There is no internet service or phone service, so everyone is closed off from the rest of the world.

As the plot deepens, sinister activities begin to occur and Maya and Gideon realize someone is trying to kill Maya. The question is why? The pair works together to solve the mystery at the same time they are struggling to stay alive.

Fans of this genre will enjoy the romance lingering beneath the surface along with the strong faith thread woven throughout the story. The story is completely clean in language and content.

About the Book

 

Tracing a Kidnapper's Trail

Title:   Tracing a Kidnapper's Trail 
Series:
   K-9 Search and Rescue #18 
Author:
   Katy Lee 
Publisher:
   Love Inspired Suspense 
Release Date:   February 24, 2026 
Genre:
   Inspirational Romantic Suspense

Solving an abduction case means a relentless K-9 manhunt… 

When search and rescue worker Hunter Shelton and his bloodhound Libby are called to a crime scene, he discovers his ex-fiancée murdered and her young daughter missing—and he's attacked. Soon, he realizes the little girl may have been taken by drug runners, and could possibly be his own child. With no one else to turn to, Hunter teams up with DEA Agent Marlee Price and her narcotics K-9, despite their rocky history. As they face escalating threats and uncover a rising body count, an old enemy from Marlee's past resurfaces. Will they be able to rescue the child and bring dangerous criminals to justice before time runs out? 

 From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith. 

 ❤️🦮🔦⌚🐕‍🦺❤️🦮🔦⌚🐕‍🦺❤️

EXCERPT:

But why should Marlee jump at his call?

Hunter Shelton was from her past and better off left there. But he also had been in distress. This case was more than a missing child, just as he’d said.

Personal.

Someone had been murdered. Someone he knew. There were also drugs involved, and that was Marlee’s specialty.

She felt the typical excitement for the hunt well up within her. She and Gustav sniffed out drug houses daily for the pure joy of it. She’d vowed to shut down every one of the despicable sites.

For Ben.

But Ben would expect her to help his lifelong best friend now. Could she do this for her brother? Could she face the man she blamed for Ben’s death? She hadn’t spoken to Hunter in eight years and had never planned to again.

Except, here she was climbing out of bed, knowing in a few hours, their paths would cross regardless.

Release Date:   February 24, 2026 
Genre:   Contemporary Romance

An inheritance with strings attached…

Forces him to tie the knot. 

Rancher Thatcher Dalton accidentally triggers a marriage requirement to his inheritance and now must find a wife in six months…or lose his farm. When widowed bookkeeper Bliss Anderson suddenly finds herself without a job, she knows that the adoption of her foster daughter, who has epilepsy, will be in jeopardy—unless she accepts Thatcher’s proposal of a marriage of convenience. As the platonic couple settle into married life and parenthood, they soon find that remaining just friends is harder than expected. But when a long-held family secret threatens their growing happiness, it’ll take a little girl’s Easter wish to turn them into a real family…

EXCERPT:
 
He must have caught the way her gaze held on a simple but elegant marquise-cut diamond on an unadorned gold band, because he tapped the glass over it. “Could we see this one, please?”

The clerk handed it over, so she might as well try it on.

And then she had to blink to keep the tears at bay.

“What’s wrong?” Thatcher leaned sideways against the counter. “If you hate that one, try another.”

That wasn’t the problem at all. “I don’t hate it.”

“Ah.” His lips twitched. “It’s pretty, Bliss.”

“It is.”

“And it’s perfect on your hand, like it was made just for you.”

“It’s the right size and everything.” She wished she didn’t like it so much, but it was precisely the style of ring she always imagined when she was a girl.

“Do you want to try another on?” She could hear the smile in his voice.

She shook her head. “I don’t need this. I’m fine with a plain band, Thatcher.”

“You deserve better than fine, Bliss. And this will be on your finger for a long time.”

💖🌷🌹🌻🌼🌳🐎🐕💖

REVIEW:

A story with a good blend of characters, a lovable trained service canine, a beautiful setting, and an assortment of real-life problems for the entire group to work through together with the Lord's guidance . . .

When bookkeeper, Bliss Anderson, returns to her hometown in the Cuyamaca Mountains, she hopes to make a new start. She inherited her grandfather's home in Goldenrod, California, and it's the perfect place to restart her life after her husband's death.

Bliss is fostering nine-year-old Juniper and things are going well for both of them. The young girl is adjusting to her new school and making some friends. Juniper's service dog, Coco, is trained to alert and respond when the young girl may have an epileptic seizure upcoming. The dog is serious about her work, and she is treasured by Bliss and Juniper.

In my two decades as an elementary school educator, I worked with a few families whose students had epilepsy. I felt that the author did an excellent job of realistically portraying the challenges presented by this chronic neurological disorder of the brain to the patient along with their family and friends.

Bliss and Juniper's home is next to Foxtail Farms and so the two frequently spend time with the Daltons who own and operate Foxtail Farms and the various businesses which are located on the farm. Sisters Dove, Natalie, and Sadie inherited the farm from their father, Asa, along with their cousin Thatcher Dalton. Asa Dalton's legacy is a mixed blessing as the sisters and their cousin try to adjust to the stringent controls Asa placed in his Will.

This story is filled with personal growth for many, if not all, of the characters. They must learn how to forgive, accept, and trust in order to move forward to a future filled with hope, harmony, and love.

The story is completely clean in language and content. The faith thread is strong and well-presented.

About the Book


Whispers in the Snow

Title:   Whispers in the Snow 
Series:
   Heartwarming Christmas 
Author:   Heidi Eljarbo 
Publisher:
  Independently Published 
Release Date:
‎  January 27, 2026 
Genre:  Cozy Historical Mystery Romance

Of course, a young woman in Norway during the late nineteenth century can be a successful amateur sleuth, and goodness knows, Cornelia’s days are always more exciting when she can devote her time to resolving a local mystery. 

Cornelia Gran is a dedicated daughter, friendly and kind; although, she has an exorbitant amount of curiosity. She devours Arthur Conan Doyle’s magazine articles and tries to follow the fictitious Sherlock Holmes’s investigative examples, but her fascination with solving puzzles always gets her into mischief. 

Each morning, Cornelia reads the newspaper, looking for a conundrum to solve. Searching for clues—and then chronicling her discoveries—thrills her. She certainly finds those activities more entertaining than taking her grandmother’s advice and attending one Christmas ball after another in search of a husband. 

But chaos and danger turn Cornelia’s quiet days upside down when her attempt to find information about the owner of a nearby abandoned cottage takes her into dangerous territory. As winter winds rattle the windows and swirl snowdrifts against the doors, she faces off with a ghost, gets in trouble with the police, and finds herself staring down danger without thinking of the consequences. In the middle of it all, she meets Simon and is captivated by his charm, good looks, and personality. 

Meanwhile, a real killer is after her, and he won’t stop until he gets information she doesn’t have! Christmas, with all its cheery festivities, hygge, and family traditions, has never been more threatened. Cornelia must call on all her investigative skills, not only to stop the ruination of her family’s holiday, but also to make certain Simon and his aunt keep what belongs to them. And maybe, just maybe, the amateur sleuth will discover the meaning of true love.  

Set in a fictitious town in Norway in 1891, this cozy historical mystery is perfect for those who enjoy curious and determined women sleuths, clean and wholesome romance, and the discovery of buried secrets in an abandoned house.  

💘☃❄❅❆💘☃❄❅❆💘 

EXCERPT:

December 1891.

THE EVENING WAS DEADLY quiet until it wasn’t. A faint sound of a dog barking in the distance, the rustling of leaves, and a shot.

Cornelia stared at the words on the paper. Her writing had already been heavily revised.  She couldn’t quite find the right words to describe the murder. She turned her gaze to the view outside while tapping her fingertips on the desk. The early December sunlight was just peeking above the horizon in the East, painting the sky delicious shades of soft pink, yellow, and pale orange. The sun didn’t show its face until after nine at this time of year and disappeared again below the skyline only five or six hours later. Such were the days in the north in December, becoming ever shorter and darker until the winter solstice in a couple of weeks’ time.

Already, carriages were heading up and down the dirt road, filled with people on their way to work, visiting, shopping, doctors’ appointments, or other errands.

Cornelia dipped the nib into the ink jar and crossed out the words deadly quiet only to add quiet as the tomb above. She sat and chewed the top of the quill for a while. Why was the tomb quiet? People standing on the ground outside would be talking, singing, and praying. They would most certainly be crying. She made some scribbles and arrows in the margin to indicate the use of her first choice. 

💘☃❄❅❆💘☃❄❅❆💘

REVIEW:

An entertaining winter story set in late nineteenth-century Norway . . .

Cornelia Gran—Nella—loves to read and analyze crime stories. She is especially intrigued by the magazine articles written by Author Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his famous character, Sherlock Holmes. She spends her time gathering clues in her community and recording her findings. Writing her own mystery stories is her passion.

When Nella's attention is captured by an article in the local newspaper about a small abandoned home in her village, she decides to discuss the matter with her grandmother in order to get some more information.

Nella learns that the house has been abandoned for around fifty years and that her Nannie used to be childhood friends with the young girl who visited the home each summer.  Nella's curiosity catapults her into her own investigation of the property and the circumstances surrounding the previous owners.

I thoroughly enjoyed the independence and spirited personality of Cornelia. As she navigated the twists and turns of the plot, I came to admire how this young woman was approaching her life's journey with grit and determination.

The story includes elements of a romance, mystery, and suspense. It is completely clean in language and content.

I received a copy of the book from the author through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.
