MY REVIEW

The first installment in this new series is action packed and lacks nothing for suspense fans. I was intrigued by the title because I have always thought twins were fascinating. Bree and Ashlee are identical twins but one wanders off into the world where danger awaits. The opening pages set the stage for a story filled with drug dealers, secrets and a bit of romance.

I wasn’t sure at first if I would like the storyline of one of the twins having amnesia but the author plots the story in a way that captures mystery and questions that kept me reading. It is a fast read but don’t be fooled by that. It is packed with characters that I wanted to know more about. I can’t say much about the story because I can’t give anything away. The author threw in a few twists that I didn’t see coming. I’m pretty good at guessing plots, but this one took me by surprise.

Lawson adds an element of knight in shining armor as he lays aside the past. The faith element is just enough that it is not preachy but definitely shows how someone can change when they give their life to Jesus. Lawson is determined to find out what is going on and why his ex fiancée is involved. I loved , loved, loved the way the author shows us through a character that God is a God of second chances. I hope the author is hard at work on the next book in this exciting series.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit.

More from Virginia

Thanks for joining me for a brand new adventure. TEXAS TWIN ABDUCTION is the first book in my new Cowboy Lawmen series and it’s a departure from what I normally write. I love writing about cops and serial killers so when my editor first suggested the cowboy/western theme, I was hesitant. I’m a city girl at heart so this was so far out of my comfort zone! But I couldn’t resist for long. After all, who doesn’t love a cowboy? Thankfully, I found a way to merge what I loved—law enforcement, FBI, US Marshals—with the cowboy/family themed books my editor wanted to see by making my group of hero brothers a family of law enforcement types with ties to the family ranch. The best of both words. Score!

Book one in this new series, TEXAS TWIN ABDUCTION, begins with my hero, little brother Lawson Avery, in a quandary. All he ever wanted out of life was to run his family’s Texas ranch, but his ex-fiancée Ashlee’s final words to him as she skipped out on their wedding was that his desire for the simple life made him unambitious and unworthy of her love. Her words broke him, sending him searching for something more meaningful to do with his life, eventually winding up as a deputy in the sheriff’s office. But, despite law enforcement being in his blood, Lawson finally realized that life wasn’t for him and made plans to return to the ranch. However, his plans are sidetracked when he finds Ashlee unconscious on the side of the road in a bullet-ridden car with no memory of him or their past together. When it becomes clear that someone wants her dead, Lawson steps in to act as her protector. But will digging into the mysteries of her past cost him the future he still longs to have with her?

I hope you enjoy this book and this brand new series! Look for the next book—older brother US Marshal Miles Avery’s story—coming in TEXAS HOLIDAY HIDEOUT this October.
