This gripping new
novel from USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author
Colleen Coble will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
A wealthy
hotel heiress.
Even though Torie
Bergstrom hasn’t been back to Georgia since she was ten, she’s happy to arrange
a job for her best friend at one of the family properties on Jekyll Island.
A suspicious death.
But when Torie learns
that her best friend has drowned, she knows it is more than a tragic accident:
Lisbeth was terrified of water and wouldn’t have gone swimming by choice.
A fight for the truth.
Torie goes to the
hotel under an alias, desperate to find answers. When she meets Joe Abbott and
his daughter rescuing baby turtles, she finds a tentative ally.
The more Torie and Joe
dig, the more elusive the truth seems. One thing is clear: someone will risk
anything—even more murder—to keep their secrets buried.
My
Thoughts:
A
Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble hits all the
requirements of a romantic suspense. Filled with hints of danger to the heroine
and a romance blooming between the hero and the heroine, the story takes off
through the numerous twists and turns. While I enjoy a good suspense novel with
hints of romance, this novel was okay for me. Not one of my favorite suspense
elements. A little too predictable, yet not that mind blowing either. Wanted
more suspense in the story. Similar, the romance seemed a little too out of
touch with reality. The hero and heroine started feelings things for each other
within the first meeting, then it just kept becoming the focused from then on
out. I wanted less romance to the plot. The writing was top notch. I had no
problem visualizing the setting that Coble had crafted for the readers. Readers
will understand the emotions and the thought process. Overall, A Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble was
an okay romantic suspense novel. Not one of my favorites. However, I believe it
would be hard to keep readers guessing after how many novels that Coble has
actually crafted.
I received a complimentary copy of A Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble from Thomas
Nelson Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
