About this book:
“Running for their lives at Christmastime…
Can a lawman keep a key witness safe?
Deputy Griffin O’Callaghan has a situation on his hands—two dead FBI agents, criminals on the loose and Tory Faraday, a witness with no memory.

My personal Rating-
I never have too much to say after finishing a Love Inspired Suspense book, and I don’t think this book will be any different. There were a few cheesy comments in regards to the romance and the pacing was fast-paced due to the short size of the book, but it was still an enjoyable read. It was fun having it set around Christmas and hearing a little bit about the season. I like the amnesia trope and while the medical jargon was a bit much at times, the story kept my attention and it flew by quickly.
See y’all on Friday with a new review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
