Christmas Ransom by B.J. Daniels

 

💖💖💖💖

Christmas Ransom by B.J. Daniels, book three in the Colt Brothers Investigation series, is a second chance romantic suspense. This romantic suspense is a bit unusual as the villain was pointed out from the beginning, along with motive, reasons, and desperation behind the robbery. Davy Colt and Carla Richmond were high school sweethearts who went in different directions after graduation; Davy to the rodeo and Carla to college. Despite wanting to leave their small town behind, Carla ended up returning to take care of her sick mom, and becoming a loan officer at the local bank; while Davy travel with rodeo, occasionally visiting his family in town. When Carla is accidently caught in a bank robbery, on her day off, recognizing one of the robbers became her almost death sentence; especially as he tried to take her hostage. Jud, one of the bank robbers, was doing what he thought he had to in order to stay alive, keep his girlfriend Jesse alive, and get himself out of trouble. As often happens, things only went from bad to worse for Jud. Threatening Carla was the biggest mistake Jud could have made; especially with Davy back in town. Davy was not going to leave town until he knew that Carla was no longer in danger. Davy believes she is an innocent victim and is set on protecting her and finding the robber. Meanwhile Jud, and Jesse are determined to kill Carla so she can’t identify them, and get away with the money.


I will say that the FBI agents sent to help with this case seem inept with few people skills. These agents believe Carla knows more than she is telling them, don’t believe what she does tell them, and suspect her involvement in the case. Davy knows better, and will go to the ends of the world to protect Carla. Watching them work together brought them closer together; reigniting the feeling they once had, which never left. I highly recommend Christmas Ransom to other readers.


I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
