Chasing Danger

by Christy Barritt, Hope White

Hot on a killer’s trail

Trained to Defend by Christy Barritt

Framed for her boss’s murder, Sarah Peterson is on the run—with only her boss’s loyal husky, Buzz, for protection. To clear her name and keep her safe, she must rely on her ex-fiancé, former detective Colton Hawk. The police aren’t the only ones searching for Sarah and the brave dog…the real killer is on the hunt, determined to silence them for good.

Mountain Hostage by Hope White

After an ambush during a mountain hike, Zoe Pratt ends up shoved off the mountain and her friend kidnapped. Enigmatic search-and-rescue volunteer Jack Monroe tracks Zoe with the help of his K-9 partner, Romeo, but as the only witness to the attack, she’s far from safe. With Jack’s help, can she find her friend and take down her would-be killer?

About the author

Christy Barritt is an author, freelance writer and speaker who lives in Virginia. She’s married to her Prince Charming, a man who thinks she’s hilarious—but only when she’s not trying to be. Christy’s a self-proclaimed klutz, an avid music lover who’s known for spontaneously bursting into song, and a road trip aficionado. She’s only won one contest in her life—and her prize was kissing a pig (okay, okay… actually she did win the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Suspense and Mystery also). Her current claim to fame is showing off her mother, who looks just like former First Lady Barbara Bush
When she’s not working or spending time with her family, she enjoys singing, playing the guitar, and exploring small, unsuspecting towns where people have no idea how accident prone she is.

Reviews

[Vicki Gooding · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two stories. Both equally gripping.
1. Trained To Defend.
When she walks in on someone murdering her disabled employer and runs, suddenly she becomes the hunted. By police and the actual murderer. Her ex not only believes her, but the two work together to clear her name.
2. Mountain Hostage.
When she heads to her best friends place, and their mountain hike turns into a nightmare. Her friend kidnapped. She's hurt. The drive to find what's right bigger than all the voices.

2 star review for CB’s dog (pet Husky) book.
LI’s idea of suspense is so NOT mine.
4 star review for book 2 (which does have working S&R dogs :) and better plot .. so average for this combo is 3 star.
