My Review 💜

I don't know if you can tell, but I have been hooked on the Love Inspired Suspense series lately! As with others from the series, with Texas Witness Threat I was captivated from the beginning, the action and suspense beginning instantly.

Christine Davis is in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing a murder that was not supposed to be see by anyone. The problem is that no one believes her, despite her being an assistant US Attorney, except Texas Ranger Blake Nolan, who actually almost hits her with her car. Blake is the only one that believes that Christine is telling the truth, and this trust sends them both on a suspense-filled adventure full of close calls and increasing fondness and faith, not only in themselves, but in others.

I enjoyed the story as a whole, but felt like I struggled to connect with Christine. Though Christine is a pretty well-developed character, I found myself feeling as if she somehow always kept me, the reader, at arms length. I always root for love, and am a sucker for a good love story, but I wasn't as excited about the outcome of this story as I usually am, most likely due to my lack of connection with Christine, which was a big disappointment.

Blake, on the other hand, was the strong and sensitive hero that was easy to fall in love with. My heart went out to his personal struggle throughout the novel, and loved seeing hope rise with him again as the story progressed. I couldn't wait to find out how things worked out with him, and admired both his and Christine's strength as they both fought to find the truth.

The fact that it is set in my home state also had me swooning. I am a Lone Star gal through and through, and felt this fact alone kept me engaged, but even if it wouldn't have been I know I would've still been hooked. The pace is perfection, the writing is great, and it has just enough intrigue to keep me guessing until the very end. Though I was able to figure out the 'who done it' pretty early on, Christine and Blake made such a wonderful team I couldn't help but crave to know the outcome.

A great suspense and perfect addition to this already addictive series.

My Rating: ★★★★
