Book description:
Exposing a smuggling operation
could uncover dangerous secrets.
As veterinarian Erika Gunderson races to save her horses from a burning barn, she is assaulted—and left for dead inside. Newly hired ranch hand Daniel Fowler comes to the rescue just in time. Little does Erika know that Daniel is an undercover ATF agent, investigating gunrunners operating in the isolated Montana wilderness—and considers her a potential suspect. When they unearth a body on the ranch and Erika’s father mysteriously vanishes, hidden family secrets begin to emerge. With more than just their lives on the line, they’ll need to risk everything to take down the smugglers and expose the truth.
My review:
Love Inspired novels are shorter than trade paperback books, and it always amazes me how much some of the authors can pack into these books. This book comes in at 202 pages, and there is no wasted space in those 202 pages.
The book takes off on the first page with a fire that is suspected arson, and from there it is non stop action and drama as Daniel and Erika try to stay alive while trying to catch the bad guys.
Dunn created two great characters in Daniel and Erika who were easy to like and care about. I didn't read the blurb before reading the book, and immediately suspected Daniel of being some kind of law enforcement. He made a great undercover ATF agent. And even though I am not a dog lover, I even liked Pete the dog. :)
There were some surprises in the book when you thought everything was going good for Daniel and Erika, then you get proven wrong.
There was a big discovery at one point, and I just knew what was going to come of that.... and no, I am not giving that away.
Montana Ranch Crime Ring is a fast paced suspenseful read that I thoroughly enjoyed, and is a great book to have the honor of being my 100th book read this year.
Special thanks to the author for an advance copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
