The Pelican Harbor Collection: One Little Lie, Two Reasons to Run, Three Missing Days
All three novels from the gripping Pelican Harbor series by USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble are now available in one collection.
One Little Lie
Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, but there's no time for an adjustment period. When her father is implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes she's facing someone out to destroy the only family she has.
After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother--who refused to leave--ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?
Reid Bechtol is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves covering Jane's career. Jane finds herself depending on Reid's calm manner as he follows her around filming, and they begin working together to clear her father. But Reid has his own secrets from the past, and the gulf between them may be impossible to cross--especially once her father's lie catches up with him.
Two Reasons to Run
Police Chief Jane Hardy is still reeling from the scandal that rocked her small-town department just as she took over for her retired father. Now she's finally been reunited with loved ones she thought she'd never see again. her presumed-dead fifteen-year-old son, Will, and his father, documentarian Reid Bechtol.
But when an environmental terrorist's plot threatens the lives of those she holds dear, Jane will have to face the ghosts of her past in order to save any hope for a future.
Three Missing Days
Chief of Police Jane Hardy plunges into the investigation of a house fire that claimed the life of a local woman as well as one of the firefighters. It's clear the woman was murdered. But why? Then Jane's fifteen-year-old son is accused of a horrific crime, and she has to decide whether or not she can trust her ex, Reid, in the attempt to prove Will's innocence--and whether she can trust Reid with her heart.
Three days of Jane's past are missing from her memory, and that's not all that has been stolen from her. As she works to find the woman's murderer and clear her son's name, finding out what happened in those three days could change everything.
It all started with one little lie. But the gripping truth is finally coming out.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
I am so happy I was able to read and review One Little Lie. Colleen Coble is one of my favorite authors, so I knew I was in for a ride through a suspenseful thriller that would grip my heart and not let go for a while, and for sure, I was not disappointed. Jane Hardy being appointed as sheriff, she never expected her father would be arrested or implicated in a murder while she was serving as the sheriff. And budding for his documentaries, Reid Bechtol is excited his new project is covering Jane’s career and film her every move as a sheriff.
What will these two characters learn as they follow a journey that will take them on a ride of their lives.
Wow, I didn’t want to put this book down, but there were times I had too for a few minutes. As always when reading a Colleen Coble book, she captured my interest reading the first page! The fast pace suspense is so incredibly intense, with amazing characters that do their job well.as they develop throughout the story. There is so much happening in this story it is impossible to fully describe it in this review, which means you need to read One Little Lie for yourself.
As always, I appreciate how Ms. Coble weaves her faith and the christian life in the life of the characters she has created. The message that God can and will ease our painful past, the pain as we discover things we need to deal with. And He is a God we we can trust, no matter what. And she does so in nice subtle way.
The author also deals with the issues of Jane and her dad’s cult background, Reid’s secret past, And the big one, the lies. But through it all, we can also witness the love and forgiveness so well written here. And in reality, this entire book is so well crafted, and incredibly written, as we always see from Colleen Coble. I highly recommend One Little Lie for your reading enjoyment and entertainment. And I can’t wait for book two in this series, coming in the fall!
A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

I just finished this series. The last one literally kept me awake all night to bring everything to a conclusion. I strongly suggest this series and any other book with Colleen Coble’s name on it! If you are an adrenaline junkie her books will fulfill that need!

I loved that this is a story beginning with a cult that the main character escaped from. The real life trauma that plays out is incredibly realistic. I also really enjoyed the interaction of her family members and how they were written into the plot. They were (mostly) sweet and usually very believable.
As the storyline progressed, I felt like the main character’s believability wavered. Usually it was a plot device to give tension to the story, but it wasn’t well executed and just made me annoyed with her when it happened. But I still liked the story well enough to finish and find out what kind of happy ending everyone got.

These books were really good! You have suspense/thriller, cults, murder, romance, and Jesus/God in these books!
The central characters were Reid, his son Will, chief Jane Hardy and her dad Charles. All of these books revolve around them in some way, very enticing, you want to find out what will happen next. Colleen Coble did it again with these wonderful books, thank you Colleen! I would definitely recommend reading, very worth it.

The story helped me in many areas of my own life. God bless. Thank you to this sweet author for being obedient to God. I pray he gives her more additions to the series about this family.

I LOVED this series!
I listened to this series on audio and chose to review the series instead of each book as they were continuations.
This was an amazing series that shows just how harmful deception can be and yet just how deep God’s grace and forgiveness goes.
Jane is the Chief of Police, taking her dad’s place when he retired, has trust issues beyond belief due in part because of things in her childhood. Will she ever be able to overcome and allow God to mend her broken spirit?
Reed, a documentary journalist, finds Jane to see if she is trustworthy of getting to know their son Will whom she believed to have died after birth. Will he find the answer he so desperately wants? Will she forgive him for the immediate deception?
This series is a wonderful showing of how fear of loss, greed, emotional detachment and deception can affect so many lives in so many ways. It’s also an incredible telling of just how much God cares for His own, despite what the situation may look like and how He works things out for our betterment.
I was so engulfed by this series and will definitely be listening to more by this author. Her gift of teaching spiritual lessons through story is amazing!
