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.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 554: A Chat with Gloriaea
byChautona Havig

I really love a good book with broken people finding redemption. So when I got to chat with Gloriaea about her book, Broken Algorithm, I knew this was going to be right up my alley. Listen in and see why I’m so excited.

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

We chatted about so many things, including the inspiration for the book, her setting–all the things!

Broken Algorithm by Gloriaea

All she wanted was a home…

Brit has moved from one prison to another since she was eight. Now she’s free, and nothing will stop her from getting back her family. Nothing…except the people who tore her life apart.

She didn’t need his help. So why was he everywhere?

Sam finally has his life on track. Working for the Canadian federal police is miles away from his teenage rebellion. Nothing could prepare him for the petite ex-convict with magnetic coffee eyes.

The clock is ticking for Brit’s family reunion and shadowy figures haunt her steps. Will Brit discover the true meaning of home? Or will she lose the family she has sacrificed everything to save?

Learn more on Gloriaea’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub.
