Boss, My reporter's nose smells a story brewing at the Double V Ranch. Word is that rancher Michael Vance has already lost several cows to a mystery ailment. This isn't the first odd thing to happen there, either --Michael's old foreman disappeared out of the blue, and his new one, Hector Delgato, is cagey. He bears watching. Meanwhile, Michael hired newcomer Layla Dixon as the housekeeper/vet while his injured housekeeper recovers, and the bohemian beauty is nothing like meat-and-potatoes Michael. I think romance might be in the air, but there is also something sinister starting up in Colorado Springs....

More About the Author

By now you have probably discovered that there are two of me. Well, not really. I'm the Valerie Hansen who writes Christian Romance, Suspense and Historical fiction for Love Inspired. This is my maiden name and much easier to spell and remember than my married name, Valerie Whisenand. I've been published since the 1980s and have over 45 books to my credit, most of which were written as Valerie Hansen. You can visit my website www.ValerieHansen.com to read excerpts and will find virtually all of my books still available through Amazon.com. AND NOW ALSO MANY ON KINDLE!

I'm thrilled that having my work on Kindle allows so many of my loyal readers to continue to find my books even after they're out of print.

I don't have a blog right now but do participate as a guest on others. Since I just received a contract to write 6 more books for Love Inspired as well as an option for a 7th, I hardly have time to breathe, let along blog!

(I can always find time for chocolate, though)

This review is from: The Danger Within (Faith at the Crossroads, Book 2) (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense #15) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is part of the "Faith at the Crossroads" series and as such is not supposed to reveal all the secrets or tie up all the loose ends, except where the hero and heroine of this particular book are concerned. I think the author did a good job considering the rules she had to follow.

Boss,
My reporter's nose smells a story brewing at the Double V Ranch. Word is that rancher Michael Vance has already lost several cows to a mystery ailment. This isn't the first odd thing to happen there, either -- Michael's old foreman disappeared out of the blue, and his new one, Hector Delgato, is cagey. He bears watching. Meanwhile, Michael hired newcomer Layla Dixon as the housekeeper/vet while his injured housekeeper recovers, and the bohemian beauty is nothing like meat-and-potatoes Michael.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

Michael Vance -- His cows kept getting sick and dying. Were they succumbing to disease or was someone poisoning them?

Layla Dixon -- Working as the temporary ranch veterinarian and helping uncover the secrets behind the ailments of the cows kept the bohemian beauty close to Michael.

El Jefe -- Who was the man also known as Chief? What did he have to do with the new influx of drugs into Colorado Springs? And why was he so intent on bringing down the Vance and Montgomery families?

Hector Delgato -- Michael's secretive new foreman was never around whenever bad things happened....

***I am not sure about this book. I felt the beginning to be rather confusing at times and I felt that the ending was rushed with really no conclusion. I was left hanging and was disappointed that I spent the time that I did reading this book. Love Inspired books are usually my favorite reads but this one didn't even rate average for me. The only positive was I liked the two main characters -- quirks and all.

I really enjoyed this second book of the "Faith At The Crossroads" series. The charater interaction was good and the mystery that was present kept me waiting to see what would happen next. It was interesting that a cattle rancher would fall in love with a vegetarian vet who was also his stand in cook.
