Gripping stories

There was a lot going on and I found myself on the edge of my seat whilst I was listening. Looking forward to reading and listening to more books in the series. 

Good story with several connected backstories that were all interconnected

Dogs, mystery, romance…What’s not to like. I appreciated the romance without the gratuitous sexual content. Christian themes were appropriate and not imposing. Plan to move on to the next to follow one story that still raises questions.

Overly religious.

It was overly religious. Too much time was spent on describing prayer and appeals to God.

First two books were good, Explosive Trail awful

I would have given this 3 book set a 5 star rating had it not been for the book, Explosive Trail by Terri Reed. (the 3rd book in this 3 book set) The first two books were great in this 3 book set, but all Explosive Trail did for me is irritated me that an author would create such an obnoxious main character of, Willow. About half way through the book, I quit listening, because it was so aggravating I just couldn't take it anymore. The author created the main character, Willow, as a person that was abusive, towards others, hot headed, self righteous and an emotional bully. She treated her dog better than she treated her husband. Her attitude towards him, was it's my way or no way and hit the highway.

Willow, in the book is the most self centered, abusive, hot headed, narcissistic personality. Worse, she's so bent on making a name for herself, she cares not for her own safety or her baby's safety, as she deliberately, where a normally prudent person would not, runs into danger, knowing full well she has a high probability of killing her baby and possibly, herself.

In real life, if she were a real person, she has no business being a mother, as it's clear, her child and her child's safety, is NOT her priority in life.

Before I wrote this review, I thought it would be unfair for me to write it without hearing the book to the end. So, through gritted teeth, I did finish it. Somewhere towards the end, she has the character admit that she's been pretty much a selfish jerk. As for me, I do not want to buy another book written by this author. Not worth the irritation.

K-9 Series

loved all 3 book. thank you. it's amazing to me that 3 different people could write a wonderful series.

my only disappointment for this and several others is all the repeating through out the story

Clean CHRISTIAN Romance

From the descriptions, I did not realize these books were geared to a Christian audience. Make sure you share that interest in your reading material - or choose another author.

What an amazing story

A very enjoyable story with a few tears and a great fallback in love story. Excellent plot twists ! Loved it !

K-9 and heroes

An amazing series that leaves you gasping and captive to your emotions! That people can be so wicked is beyond understanding, but joy knowing the Lord is beside you in your journey to forgiveness!

The emphasis on God an how He worked in and through their relationship show He Cares!

I have experience with the same difficulties in their relationship and nor the relationship with God heals, forgives and strengthens faith an relationships. Very well written and performed.

Christian romantic suspense set of 3 books

This is a set of 3 Christian romantic suspense books with different authors and different narrators. I loved the first book and give it 5 stars. I enjoyed the 2nd book and give it 4 stars, I didn't like the 3rd book very much and give it 3 stars. I would give all the performances 4 stars. It was a good price for a set of 3 books.
