Now available in one Books 1-3 of the Best-selling Vanishing Ranch series!
Forgotten Secrets
FBI Special Agent Jesse Marx doesn’t know which is worse—waking up in a horse stable with no memories of the past several days or waking up to discover he’s wearing a wedding band. Not only has he been injured, but he’s also gotten hitched—something he vowed never to do.
Sienna Fleming refuses to feel a connection to any man, much less be tied down to one. But when she needs help solving a string of murders, Jesse is the only man she can turn to for help. Unfortunately, Jesse is ready to bolt. Considering the circumstances, she can’t blame him . . . but she also can’t let him go.
The two are roped into this together. . . for better or worse . . . because it will take a united effort to stop this killer before someone else dies.
Necessary Risk
When former Navy SEAL Hudson Carmichael sets out to rescue a woman in danger and bring her to Vanishing Ranch for refuge, he knows exactly what he needs to do. But his plan is thrown off course when he comes face-to-face with his dead fiancée.
When Teagan Murphy unwillingly became entangled in the Farino crime family, she had no choice but to leave Hudson—and her entire life—behind. Now, as the stakes are raised, Teagan must find a way to disappear . . . again. She never expects Hudson, the only man she’s ever loved, to be the one to rescue her. But he’s here, and he has questions that need answers.
As Hudson and Teagan work together to gain her freedom, they once again find themselves hoping for what might have been. But one secret is keeping Teagan alive—a secret that has the power to change everything.
Risky Ambition
Former Navy fighter pilot Nate Casper, also known as Ghost, splits his time between flying jet-setting celebrities around the world and volunteering to help with rescues at Vanishing Ranch. When movie star Chesney Blake books a trip with him, Ghost sets aside his attraction to her in order to remain professional.
But when his flight plan gets waylaid by a barrage of bullets, putting Chesney in danger, his intention of keeping his distance takes a nosedive.
Chesney Blake needs a break before filming her next movie. But when her getaway erupts into nothing short of chaos and her pilot transforms into her protector, her vacation plans are forgotten. Does someone really want her dead? Or was she even the intended target?
As more incidents threaten their safety, Chesney and Ghost set out to uncover the truth. But as they get closer to finding answers, Chesney is faced with a fate worse than she ever imagined—even worse than death itself.

I really enjoyed these three novels By Christy Barritt. Good clean reads but with fast paced adventure. Some excellent twists especially towards the end of book three.
Although the protagonists were different in each book, the ranch and the other characters, gave the continuity necessary. Personally I would have preferred a longer denouement, but the modern style seems to leave this to your imagination ,at least Christi gives us the bare bones,leaving us to flesh them out.
I felt disappointed that Charlie's situation was never fully resolved, please can we have another book in which there is a full resolution? This is the reason I have given four stars rather than five. May I also ask that a little more flesh is given to the bones of characters becoming Christians and lifting prayers.
Book three almost gets there but just evades the issue. It would be good to hear one complete story perhaps even adding difficulties in engaging with a church . Thank you for three good reads , I look forward to another...

Love Christie Barriet's books
As in her other books, there are fully developed good and evil characters, exciting plots with many unseen events, and interesting locations. A great romance is intertwined within the stories, and I haven't ound any replays or flaws in her books. I have read over 80 of her books, and hope there will be at least 80 more.

A fake marriage. A woman who was dead and a movie star
All three stories are great! Book one is about a fake marriage. The FBI undercover officer is married to a stranger. Book two she was supposed to be dead! Now he has to try save her. The third book was absolutely amazing. A pilot ends up inveolved in a fight to save many.

Selfless
There actually are people in this world who put the good of others above their own. Even though the
men and women of Vanishing Ranch are characters in a book they exemplify the real men and women who put their lives on the line for others everyday. Hope you enjoy meeting the characters in these stories as much as I did.
