Ready for another Can’t-Put-it-Down Romantic Suspense Book?

by Chautona Havig ·

Critical Alliance doesn't release for two more months, BUT, that just means you have time to read the first two books in the series first! via @chautonahavig

She’s back again! Author Elizabeth Goddard and I chatted about her last book in the Rocky Mountain Courage series (and a tiny bit about what is coming next) in this episode!  We had a blast talking about writing, the complexities of research, and our favorite things about books. Listen in for more!

Ready for another Can’t-Put-it-Down Romantic Suspense Book?

We chatted about the first book in this series, Present Danger, back in Episode 64, and now… the final book in the series is here (almost)! Elizabeth Goddard first said she’d never write another book about cyber security, but now that she’s had some distance from all the research (and the unsettling nature of that research), do you think she will stick to that?  I sure hope not, because this book sounds AMAZING.

Critical Alliance is set in the Montana Rocky Mountains, of course.  Where else would it be in this series?  Especially since Goddard admits to loving this area of the country.

However, her next series is going to take us a bit north… to Alaska! Okay, now all I can hear is Johnny Horton’s song. I’ll be singing it all week.  I blame Elizabeth.

Releasing July 5, Critical Alliance is also available from the Baker Book House website at 40% off retail with FREE shipping.

This makes the paperback LESS than the cost of the Kindle version (aside from tax, license, and extortion fees 😉 ).  Seriously, that’s like 2000 book prices right there!  And during a paper shortage, too!  WOOT!  ALSO, sometimes Baker Books send out their preorders EARLY.  This means we can get it even before the release date sometimes!  (I’ve gotten several recently. Just sayin’!

Rocky Mountain Courage Series #3

Mackenzie Hanson’s special set of skills opened the door to a successful career as a professor of cybersecurity at a Michigan university, allowing her to put her criminal past behind her. But when a long-ago partner in crime delivers a cryptic message about her father’s tech company being under cyberattack, she heads for Montana to secure exposed assets, close security breaches, and hopefully save lives.

Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight is back home in Montana to decompress from a mission gone wrong. But even as he’s trying to relax, he’s drawn into another mystery, complete with suspicious deaths, lethal threats, and whispers of espionage that all have one thing in common–a beautiful cybersecurity expert with a dark past.

When the situation turns deadly, Alex and Mackenzie will have to work together to find the answers they need–before someone silences Mackenzie for good.

USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard weaves a tangled web of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping romance in this fast-paced conclusion to her Rocky Mountain Courage series.

Episode 582: A Chat with Terrie Todd
byChautona Havig

Don’t know about you, but I think a good historical event as the foundation of a story is one of the best there is. Terrie Todd’s The Reluctant Healer of Halifax offers just that sort of foundation. Listen in and hear the story of how it became a part of this multi-author series!

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

The tragedy of Halifax is riveting enough by itself, but what Terrie Todd did with that story is nothing short of amazing.

She’s a favorite author, but seriously, this might just become a favorite book.

The Reluctant Healer of Halifax by Terrie Todd

Her Family, Her Home, Her Future—All Leveled in One Thunderous Explosion When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be discovered. Three days ago, Pearline Campbell’s family was whole and Oliver Hamilton still loved her. But upon returning to Halifax disfigured and shellshocked, Oliver ended their relationship. Then came Thursday, December 6, 1917, when the Halifax harbor was leveled by a tremendous explosion. . .and Pearline fears nothing will ever be whole again. Her parents are dead, her brother is missing, and her sister refuses to speak. Pearline must fortify herself to open her home to needy orphans, including an unidentified baby. Where can she find the strength for each new day as misery grips the city? More from the Enduring Hope Series: The Angel of Second Street by Barbara Tifft Blakey The Undercover Heiress of Brockton by Kelly J. Goshorn The Caregiver of Wounded Knee by Debby Lee The Daughter of Shiloh by Terri J. Haynes The Girl from Tomorrow’s Town by Naomi Musch
