about the book


Brace yourself for double the suspense in these snowbound adventures as an avalanche forces two couples to face down their enemies in a ski resort shut off from the outside world.

In Buried in Shadows by Dani Pettrey, Cassandra Parker arrives at her best friend’s destination wedding, praying her stalker hasn’t tracked her to Colorado. Also part of the wedding party is Sheriff Joel Brunswick, the man she stunned by leaving at the altar to hide a dangerous truth. When an avalanche strands their ski group in an abandoned lodge, it becomes chillingly clear that Cassandra’s stalker has followed her . . . and he’s willing to kill to make her his.

In Snowbound Secrets by Lynette Eason, Dr. Maya Sullivan fully intends to escape her past and finish planning a retreat for military veterans at the ranch she’s inherited. Unfortunately, her plans go sideways when an avalanche traps her in a Colorado ski resort. An unexpected reunion with her high school crush forces her to confront past wounds, but she soon realizes someone is targeting her, and their search for a shadowy enemy becomes a matter of life and death.

A gripping romantic suspense novella collection from bestselling authors Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey featuring second-chance romance, trapped together forced proximity, military and law enforcement heroes, a small-town destination wedding, and snowbound survival at a Colorado ski resort.

review

an avalanche strands these characters, but that's not the danger they most need to worry about...

in "buried in shadows," cassie and joel see each other for the first time since she left him at the altar a year ago—only to be stranded in an abandoned lodge with the very stalker that kept them apart. threatening notes, untold secrets, hidden passageways, and murder... the increasing danger feels quite present throughout the novella, and though the cast of characters had me a little confused at times, i enjoyed being along for the ride. of course, the simultaneous hope for a second-chance romance offers a little light amidst the darkness.

in "snowbound secrets," maya's using her expertise to help around the snowbound ski resort, and hints start to indicate that something more ominous is afoot. danger builds more gradually in this novella (compared to the previous one), but in the meantime, maya reconnects with gideon, her childhood friend and crush. of course, when it all goes wrong, it really goes wrong... there's plenty of action and suspense to make this an enjoyable read, too.

all together, it's a solid collection of romantic-suspense novellas. fast-paced and action-packed, but with more uplifting threads of romance and faith... it sure won't disappoint fans of the genre.

i received a complimentary copy from the author and/or publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.


considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only
—faith: consistent christian themes and mentions
—content: avalanche, murder, violence, stalking
