romance plus suspense

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024

I loved how the author wove suspense throughout the story. The characters are well-developed and very relatable. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. I definitely recommend the book and the author!

The third installment in this series is just as amazing as the first two. Packed with faith, suspense, and potential for second channces and forgiveness, "Healing the Hero" is hard to put down. While there is romance blooming I also enjoyed watching the characters grow in their faith and the reminder redemption with God is possible we only have to ask Him. I also appreciate Miss Kay's reminder that through prayer, faith, and asking for forgiveness, He can redeem our relationship with others

Contemporary Christmas Christian fiction suspense

This was a good Contemporary Christian Christmas fiction book, in the Heroes of Freedom Ridge series. This was Dan and Ashley's story. There were some suspenseful scenes that I personally had to weigh my options. I chose to continue reading through the HEA ending. I would recommend parents of teens to preread this book before sharing with your older teens and above. I was able to read a copy of this book via Overdrive, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

Ashley and Daniel’s (Danny, Dan, Danny-boy) story was very enjoyable. The author moved the story along with a touch of romance and mystery. When we don’t walk close to the Lord, our lives can be stressful and chaotic. Our Lord waits for us to confess, repent, and reconcile in our relationship with Him.

This was a wonderful story about how a military man came home from the war, had an incredible restaurant. Hired a special chef and fell in love with her and got m. A lot of twist and turns from front to back. Was awesome book.

Ok, I guess. There was a lot of dialogue, but not enough if the scene to know what was happening, if that makes sense. Like, the scene in the garage... it was just a quick "this happened" but it didn't logically make sense. It was so quick... it felt rushed and the scene has major inconsistencies. In just the scene. This was common throughout.

The back and forth was a bit too much. It one part, Ashley said she was in love with Dan. In the next like 5 lines, she said she needed to guard her heart. Which is it?
This continued through most of the book.

Overall, it was a short enough read that I liked it... but... it was frustrating and confusing at parts.

I do love the series so far. The characters are great.

A sweet romance complicated by a man with a vengeance targeting the couple. Lovely interaction between the cast of characters. Loose ends tied up at end.

3.5☆ Sweet Christian romance

Reviewed in Australia on June 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the premise of the story, and several of the side characters jumped off the page in an engaging way, but I struggled with "liking" the main characters a majority of the time.

I connected with Ashley for most of the story, but she had a propensity to take the blame in so many situations, or make what seemed like uncharacteristic choices, that I kinda lost my zeal for the outcome of her romance with Daniel.

And Daniel? I REALLY wanted to like him, and did on a couple of occasions, but he was just so... unreasonable... about many things. As someone who has lived with others living through mental health issues, Daniel put out a lot of red flags for me. Perhaps I'm sensitive, and maybe it can be chalked down to his Army exposure, but... yeah. Hard to love that guy. Which saddens me because I'm usually very understanding and accepting of characters...

I think many elements in the story were promising - the storyline, character aspects, the suspense arc - but it just didn't seem to tie together well. Some scenes were choppy, and I had to pause and think where I was at, which character this was, etc. There were other times I wished the characters would follow a thread (ie someone told a MC the other MC loved them but nothing was said/thought about it??) but not followed. I dislike leaving a 3-star review, but feel its warranted. 😥

I enjoyed this book. It had the right mix of ingredients for my taste. I enjoy chef stories. The added tension of the bad guy was well done. Dan was annoying at times with his over-reactions, but apart from that it was an enjoyable read.

Daniel is manager at Freedom Ridge ski resort. Ashley is the new head chef. They are drawn to each other. Some strange, then dangerous things begin to occur. This book kept my interest. The previous two did not have enough story for me.
