CARDWELL CHRISTMAS CRIME SCENE

Dee Anna Justice's world had turned upside down. She'd believed her convict father was her only living relative. Now Walter Justice, fearing for his daughter's safety, urges her to seek out her cousins in Montana. Calling in a decades-old debt, he also enlists Beau Tanner to protect her.

Trust doesn't come easy to DJ. But the warm, embracing family she finds at Cardwell Ranch softens her suspicious nature. Still, she resents the bodyguard her dad foists on her, despite their fiery attraction…

SECRET OF DEADMAN'S COULEE

When Sheriff Carter Jackson gets the call, he embarks on an all-out search for the woman who once shared his bed—and whose memory still torments him. Finding Eve alive only intensifies his yearning. But her shocking discovery in the Missouri badlands soon thrusts her into greater peril.

Eve came home to Montana to unearth her family's secrets. The dead body she found aboard a decades-old downed plane could be a vital clue. Except someone wants to keep the truth buried. Her best hope is the sensual lawman whose betrayal she can't forgive…even as reigniting passion tempts her to trust him one last time.

[Robin Brennan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Have only finished Cardwell Christmas Crime Scene. Sisters separated almost at birth, grow up not knowing the other even exists. The mother deserted her 1st husband and daughter to marry a rich Italian It’s a convoluted tale that almost feels dated. The rich family not wanting to acknowledge the first daughter due to a crime oriented father and fearing that he might try to abscond with some of their wealth or disgrace them. Flip forward to the present with hitmen, family ties being discovered and of course romance.

OK, now have finished Secret of Deadman’s Coulee. Would give this 3 Stars. More interesting than above. Though not riveting it held my interest, but at times stretched my credulity. Some of the relationships also seemed a bit difficult to understand.

I loved Cardwell Christmas -- 5 stars. A nice, light, holiday story.

Deadman's Coulee, however, I would only give 3 stars; it was very confusing with a web of mystery and lies too big for a romance novel.
