I really liked "Rocky Mountain Revenge " and am surprised that it is a debut novel. The suspense kept me reading till the end. I really like Grace's Great Dane and the other characters and the other characters in the story because they were "real" .
This is a story about attempted murder and illegal horse racing.
This was a short and fast read. I truly recommend this book if you are a fan of Love's Inspired novel and even if you're not.
I was given a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

Probably the number one question any author receives is “How did you come up with the idea for the story?”
When the Love Inspired editors announced, in February 2019, they were hosting The Great Love Inspired Author Search, I knew I had to enter. After all I’d spent the last six years targeting the Harlequin Love Inspired lines. This would be my fourth time entering one of their pitch contests, my third pitching to Love Inspired Suspense. The only problem was I didn’t have anything new to enter. They’d already seen all of my manuscripts.
I follow the Love Inspired editors on social media, so I had read several posts on themes and settings they’d like to see. One editor had even mentioned Colorado as a setting she’d like to see in a book. This started my wheels turning because my husband and I lived in Colorado for a few months when we were first married. We loved our time there and have often talked about going back one day. I started researching parts of the state that we didn’t get to visit when we lived there, and then I created the fictional small town of Blackberry Falls.
I’d had an idea in the back of my head for while about a story that involved a heroine who wasn’t in law enforcement but who witnessed a crime while on video chat. That’s how I came up with Grace Porter, a veterinarian who had run away from her small-town roots. And what’s a homecoming story without a reunion romance? Enter, Police Chief Evan Bradshaw, the man Grace had left behind. Once I had the opening scene, main character, and setting in place, everything else just kind of evolved from there.

Wonderful review, Debbie! This debut novel sounds like a must read. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the review and for being part of my blog tour!
The blurb is very interesting and leaves me with the question of why someone is out to kill Grace and her sister.
I"m trying to reach my Goodreads challenge goal, so I need a short book like this!
