Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 490: A Chat with Lori DeJong
byChautona Havig

After a pile of sweet romances, sometimes you need something with… teeth. You know? And what’s better than a book with a bit of both? Listen in while Lori DeJong and I chat about Mistletoe and Malice!

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

This was such a fun conversation. And chatting about the fun of hiding from would-be abductors, reluctant bodyguards, and all the fun? How could it not be???

Mistletoe and Malice by Lori DeJong

After barely escaping an attempted abduction, Houston attorney Riley Hudson is forced to accept her wealthy father’s demand for private security. The last thing she wants is a bodyguard—especially one as maddeningly arrogant, bossy … and handsome as Colton Blankenship. Yet as the threat against her escalates, she begins to rely not only on his skills, but his steadfast presence.

Colton isn’t thrilled about giving up his hard-earned holiday vacation to protect a spoiled heiress. But he soon learns Riley is nothing like he expected. Fierce, independent, and unwavering in her faith, she’s everything he thought he’d left behind after tragedy shattered his own beliefs. As the unknown threat circles closer, the tension between them ignites into something deeper … and far more perilous.

When a second attempt on Riley’s life nearly succeeds, Colton faces a terrifying truth. Protecting her means risking more than just his life. Haunted by a past he can’t outrun, and a faith he’s all but lost, he must decide if he can trust God again … before he loses Riley—and his heart—for good.

We also talked about the final book in her True Calling series, Love’s True Measure.

You can learn more about Lori (and join her newsletter!) on her WEBSITE.

Find her on GoodReads and BookBub.
