Customer Reviews
Christmas Ransom
This was a such an intriguing read. I loved the multiple POV format. Not only are the 2 main characters' POV given but that of the murderer/bank robber. I enjoyed the pace of the plot and the intriguing spin that the author put on it.
Davy comes home for Christmas. He goes to the bank to see his old high school girlfriend, Carla. The two talked about getting married after high school but Davy wanted a career in the rodeo like his brothers and forefathers. Carla on the other hand, wanted a secure and stable life. Now 10 years later, is there a chance for them again?
Before you know it, Carla is at the bank (where she works as a loan officer), when it is robbed and one of the robbers wants to take Carla as a hostage. When another robber forces her release, the first robber violently kicks her and she hits her head in the fall.
Davy takes it upon himself to be her protector with some help from his brothers. Can he help Carla safe? Will the robber be caught before he has to leave for the rodeo after Christmas? Why is the FBI targeting Carla as a suspect and not the victim?
The one thing that disappointed me was there was a subplot from the first book involving the mystery surrounding the Colt's father death. Since the first book, only a mention of how he died has been in the subsequent two books.
