This book had way too much suspense.

[Ethelann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Colorado Double Cross was an excellent story!! DEA agent Nick and his late partner's widow, Alexis, end up working together to bring down a cartel. But in doing so, they end up running for their lives.
Not knowing who to trust except each other, they dodge killers after them.
This book was a page turner with lots of twists, and the ending was a surprise. Wow!!

Well done suspense! What a ride through Colorado!

[Sara Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Intense, action packed read.

I'm a huge Jennifer Pierce fan and I'm excited this story doesn't disappoint. It's intense non stop action with hints of romance and faith that tied together well. I really enjoyed it.

I appreciated how Alexis was both physically disabled but super determined and strong. The reality of her physical injuries wasn't brushed aside but she was able to hold her own nearly the entire story. Man they endured a lot and yes sometimes you have to suspend belief but most times their actions and reactions were quite believable.

Good twists and turns and good foreshadowing that kept me guessing and waiting, did I get it right ? Ack. Such a fun read. If you enjoy romantic suspense you'll enjoy this one.

This book gripped me from the very first page. It was so suspenseful and I couldn't guess what was coming from one page to the next. A few times I even wondered how the characters were going to get out of the predicament they found themselves in. I couldn't put the book down and ended up finishing it in a few hours. Love Inspired Suspense books are some of my absolute favorites and Jennifer's debut with this line is a wonderful addition. I highly recommend it.

A Lot of Car Accidents

This was ok. I debated giving 3 stars. Way too much running around and not enough relationship building. A lot of action which after a while I find it exhausting. 3-1/2 for me.

[Kathie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good one, with many twists and turns.

From the back cover: Following the suspicious death of his partner, DEA agent Nick Anderson goes undercover to expose a drug cartel and a mole in his own agency. The last thing he expects is his late partner's widow, Alexis White, conducting her own secret investigation. Now his cover is blown and it's up to Nick to keep Alexis alive. But with killers on their heels, the search for answers could be his deadliest mission...

[Sheri Jesse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Action from beginning to end. There are a lot of red herrings thrown in this story but it's a good one.

[Renee Helton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Full of action and plot twists..
Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Colorado Double Cross by Jennifer Pierce keeps readers dangling on the edge of suspense for the entire novel. DEA Agent Nick Anderson is undercover in a drug cartel. Much to his surprise, he runs into Alexis White, his deceased partner’s wife, as she snoops around the drug compound. He rescues her, and the pair run for their lives. Somehow the drug dealers are one step ahead of the DEA, and Nick and Alexis suspect a mole in the agency.

I love the non-stop action and suspense in this story. I’ve always been a fan of the run-for-your-life trope, but Pierce brings a depth to the characters while readers get to race along side the pair to solve a mystery. If you love romantic suspense, heart-racing action, and great Colorado scenery, look no further than Colorado Double Cross.

A new-to-me author, Jennifer Pierce has grabbed my attention with her tale of suspense packed with intrigue. The continual twists and turns, betrayals, and danger keep you on the edge of your seat. It was interesting to see how the hero and heroine learn to see God's presence in their lives. I look forward to reading more by this author.

[Hannah · Rating 4 out of 5]

More suspense than romance, just the way I like it! But the romance doesn’t feel too instalove because they have history; Alexis is his late partner’s widow. Together they have to bring down a cartel that’s targeting quiet mountain communities, and the cartel of course has no wish to be brought down. High-action drama.

[Ash · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though the action was good,the leads had no chemistry.I dont know how and why they fell in love. I would have been totally fine if they ended up as friends or maybe the book ended with them starting to like each other.

[Carla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great characters that I really liked. The story kept me turning the pages to see what happened next. I couldn't put the book down.
