I enjoyed this book very much. It was definitely suspenseful and the author kept up the suspense through the whole story. The two main characters, Alexia and Cole, used to be married but got divorced after their young son died and they both couldn't deal with it. Cole was in the military and Alexia felt he wasn't there for her. Now, a couple years later, Alexia, is working for her father organizing big rodeos and wild west shows but someone is sabatoging them her father hires an investigative team to find out who is behind it. When the main investigator isn't available, he asks Cole to take over for him. Alexia can't believe she has to work with Cole again. She never thought she'd have to see him again! I can imagine that would be hard, working with your ex, but they never really worked things out after their son died so this seems to be the perfect opportunity - except that someone is running around trying to kill people!
I enjoyed the interaction between Alexia and Cole - how their relationship developed! I also very much enjoyed the suspense as they both raced to find who was sabatoging the shows and causing havoc! I would recommend it!

Deadly Fires is another great addition to the Rodeo Knights series! These novellas stand alone, and as a rodeo fan, I really like the rodeo circuit story lines. Alexia and Cole are strong, yet vulnerable characters, and I enjoyed the intrigue of their story and their second chance at happiness. An enjoyable blend of suspense and romance, I look forward to more Rodeo Knights!

Alexia Richards will do anything to keep busy & keep her mind from dwelling on her past. That's part of the reason she's moved home to work with her father after his health issues have sidelined him. Unfortunately, a series of incidents are starting to affect the business & the danger is escalating. Her dad decides to call in Knight Investigation to look into the incidents. Alexia had confidence in Michael & was sure he'd get to the bottom of it.
Cole Knight has left his position in the services & has come home to work with his cousin in Knight Investigation. He's just come off a case when he gets a call to take over one of Michael's cases. Unfortunately, Cole is Alexia's ex husband. Can they find a way to work together? Can they find a way to put closure to their son's death?
Mystery. Suspense. Romance. Tragedy. This story has it all. The plot moves quickly & had twists & turns to keep the suspense going. The violence escalates as the story goes on & it seems like the tension in Coke & Alecia's relationship grows at an equal pace. This is a great story that grabs your attention quickly & pulls you along.

Deadly Fires by Margaret Daley
Strong Women, Extraordinary Situations Series Book Nine
Alexia Richards has always tried to please her father. Be the son he always wanted. She failed him in the past and she's failing him now as bad things are happening to their rodeo company while she's in charge.
Cole Knight is working for his cousins’ investigation agency. Trying to get used to civilian life after his years in the army and all he'd seen there. And there was the past he messed up. Only six months back and he's being thrown into the past when he's sent to help Alexia.
Margaret Daley weaves great mysteries. I thought I had this one all figured out...I didn't. This is a book is also part of a ten book Rodeo Knights series. Individual books by ten authors that all connect in some way to the Knight brothers. Their stories are told in the first three original Rodeo Knight books by Margaret, Lisa Mondello, and Lenora Worth.

Loved this one. Having a second chance like that is everything. They lost their son in a fire and got divorced. The strength you have to have to just get out of the bed each morning is enormous. They were so broken still and the fact that they never talked and just blamed themselves drove them farther apart. I just loved that they found their way back to each other. Not everyone does. Cole was numb, but the moment he heard his ex wife was in trouble, all bets were off. Alexia was just surviving, and the guilt she carried was a lot. They needed each others love and to simply move on from all the guilt

Rating 3.5. (I went back and forth on this--it is not a three but not quite a four, either.)
This is another book in the oddly named "Strong Women, Extraordinary Circumstances," or at least I thought it was (I know I read it somewhere--maybe on Amazon???) but it turns out to be from a series called "Rodeo Knights" and this is book 9. I have not read any of the other in the series but was able to follow the story line just fine. This is a clean romantic suspense novel, it is also a very short read but I would not say it is a novella, per se.

There is a lot going on in this story both in the action and in the relationships. It was very entertaining and easy to read. I liked the recurring theme of reconciliation and restoration of broken and failing or failed marriages. Second chances in relationship because people are willing to talk and willing to renew trust make for sweet romance.

Interesting story with the themes of suffering, broken relationships, and eventually some emotional and spiritual healing. An unknown person was attempting to wreak havoc on the main character and her family by sabotage of the families' rodeo business. I didn't guess the culprit at all, so the author did a good job of keeping the story moving without giving away too many clues.

Margaret Daley has done it again! Second chance romance, attempted murder, secrets, and suspense all come together on the rodeo circuit to provide a great read. I highly recommend this clean suspense!

Good read
Loved this book and especially the main characters. I loved that for a change a divorced couple got their lives and marriage back together, the need to forgive not only the main couple but other family relationships. With Gods help and communication you can forgive!

Excellent
Romantic suspense at it's best! Someone is sabotaging a rodeo group and putting lives in danger. Can they figure out who is responsible before someone is killed?

Very well written. I really enjoyed it, except for the very abrupt ending. Seems to be a trademark of the author’s to finish them that way. An epilogue would’ve been helpful.
