Five Alarm Babies #3
The Christmas Clue
THIS CHRISTMAS HE'D HAVE TO PLAY SANTA IN DISGUISE
Federal agent Matt Christensen hadn't planned on spending Christmas Eve dodging bullets. He hadn't planned on fatherhood, either. But when he discovered he had a daughter, Matt vowed he'd do anything to find her― including cozying up to a beautiful murder suspect with dangerous connections.
To get inside the isolated West Texas compound of a known criminal, Matt needed Cassandra Harrison's contacts. But could he ignore the other needs Cass brought to mind? She was vulnerable and soft...almost innocent. With an arsenal of gunmen intent on crushing his Christmas mission, he'd have to protect them both if they wanted to survive the cold, cold night and bring his baby home for the holidays.

Cassandra is being framed for murder. She has been on the run for a year. She knows time is running out to clear her name. Her only option is to team up with Matt. She has to convince Matt to help her. Cassandra found out that Matt has a daughter, which he didn’t even know he had. The two team up together to clear Cassandra name, and save Matt’s daughter. The action was nonstop, the plot was really good, and the suspense kept the book interesting, and the romance was sizzling.
Sample from chapter 3 – We have eight days at the most to get the evidence, and each and every one of those days means that your little girl is living under the same roof with a man like Dominic.
Sample from chapter 4 – One of the man, dressed head to toe in black, darted behind an oak. Matt automatically took aim. So did Cass. It was too little too late. A bullet came right at them. From that moment she’d seen those gunmen, Cass had braced herself for the possibility that she’d have to dodge gunfire. What she couldn’t have planned for was the deafening blast that sent that bullet their way. The sound ripped through her, spiking her adrenaline and sending her heartbeat racing out of control. “Stay down,” Matt barked. Just as another bullet slapped into the dirt mere inches from her head.

This was a fun, fast intrigue that wasn't overly complicated, but you still kept turning the pages to see how it would end. There wasn't much to do with Christmas, but it's an Intrigue, so that's to be expected. I felt the characters were well-developed and engaging. I wished to have learned more about Annette, but otherwise, I thought it was tied up nicely in a Christmas bow.

Jen's Review:
The Christmas Clue by Delores Fossen is a contemporary romantic suspense. Cassandra is being framed for a murder and is running out of time to clear her name. She approaches federal agent Matt for help, using some information that she knows will guarantee his cooperation. As they go after the villain, sparks fly—figuratively and literally.
While the story had a decent plot, I was left wanting more. I felt unsatisfied in the ending. If you’re looking for a light romantic suspense and a fast read, then try this book. Otherwise, look for something with a little more substance.

Its about a woman who was trying to excape from her own death ... in risk, she told a man that he got a daughter.
From there, it was quite a adventure between those 2 people. Very interesting plot.
