How can one book be both heart meltingly adorable and yet flooded with riveting action?! This story is so entertaining and exciting I loved every second of it!

As per usual with Love Inspired Suspense there were a few typos and misspelled words but otherwise it’s a great short novel packed with action, chemistry, and fun.

I NEVER read Christmas stories at this time of the year. But, somehow, I picked this one up on KU. I don’t remember why. Maybe it was a recommended book from an author, I really don’t remember why. However, I loved it! It was so well written! Lots of great action and suspense but nothing that would keep me up at night. I immediately went looking for more books by the author as soon as I was done reading and I realized she has A LOT of books published so she’s clearly very experienced. I’ve now downloaded all the others she has available on KU and I’m really looking forward to reading them also.

This book was fantastic! Fast paced, believable, creative answers to sticky situations, and hold-your-breath excitement through the whole book. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

Good job, Ms. Nelson. I've enjoyed all your books, but this one is a keeper. I'm sure I'll pull it out to read again.....but not at night right before bed. Lol

Country Vet can be a People's Vet.

Being an outcast while also being undercover is a very hard road to follow. Finding every bump was His Vet Friend who went on the run ,, She helped him find the Boss of the Drugs Trade, but also helped to find the real Boss.

A wonderful read, very action packed. Yet had a couple mild chapters, I was patiently waiting for and lovingly received. Overall, left you kept on your toes, waiting for what comes next, and then you couldn't put it down until you found out.

Finding an injured DEA Agent in her barn is only the beginning of a wild pursuit and getting to know each other. Great storyline while they get to know and trust each other. Could not put it down. Found a new Author that I just love. Recommend

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Hunted for Christmas. I really enjoy Jill's books and this one is awesome. It's well written, action packed, and full of drama. Faith is an important part of her work. I know you are going to love this one. I highly recommend it.

DEA Agent Rogan McNally is undercover but a mole has framed him. Now his own agency is after him plus the drug cartel. He is wounded and hides from the storm in a barn only to be found by a veterinarian. She willingly treats his wounds and then helps him flee from his enemies. Can he keep her safe as she helps him?

Veterinarian Trina Lopez returns home exhausted after the birth of a foal. Her normal ride home in her four-wheel drive pickup took twice as long because of the storm. A widow who just lost her father she's feeling really lonely this Christmas. With dread she turned on the lights of the barn; something is off the animals are acting up or hiding. She finds a wounded man lying in the hay. A gunman breaks in and they have a shoot out. When the second man is down the first man passes out. She must help him. Can she trust this man?

A horrifying journey to stay a step ahead of the cartel and the mole who is trying to kill him. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart, make Him Lord, and watch Him work in your life.
