The Book

Deputy Jenna Hart has only been working in her sleepy hometown of Pearl Springs for seven months when city officials begin to be targeted by a killer. Twenty years ago, the construction of a dam caused people to lose their land to eminent domain. That wound has not healed with time, and someone bearing a grudge is clearly set on revenge. With the former mayor of Pearl Springs now running for the US Senate, Jenna will have to call in backup to ensure his protection.

That's where Agent Maxwell Anderson comes in. He and Jenna used to work together in the Chattanooga Police Department, and there was even a smoldering fire of attraction. Now they team up to track down the killer before a big political rally that promises to bring not only the former mayor into the crosshairs but hundreds of civilians as well.

As the sparks of romance reignite and the threads of the investigation get tangled when another suspect comes into play, Jenna and Max will have to draw on all of their skills to stay alive and prevent the wave of disaster poised to hit the community of Pearl Springs. The question is, can either of them fully trust that the other has their back?

Book Review

Deadly Revenge is the third book in the Pearl River series. While I had read the previous books in the series, my memory was a little fuzzy on the details and I still found I was able to enjoy this one, so I think it could definitely be enjoyed without having read the previous as well. 

Patricia Bradley has such a talent for creating suspenseful reads that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, and this one was no exception. I found myself drawn in right from the beginning and captivated until the end. One thing about small towns is that memories (and grudges) can last a very long time--- causing someone to seek revenge even after 20 years. When a few mysterious deaths seem to be connected, Jenna and Max find themselves forced to work together to figure it all out. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting, and of course, some romance too! If you love Christian romantic suspense, you'll certainly want to check this one out for yourself.
