“An very well plotted read and a great start to the Thunder Ridge Justice series. The mystery of this one was enjoyable and had some surprising elements along the way which I really thought brought a lot to the story. I look forward to getting future stories with Clive’s siblings. A fun read for me!
I received a copy of this book from the Author and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.”
“Shielded By The Cowboy is Connie Queen’s first novel in the Thunder Ridge Justice series.
The story introduces Holly, a pregnant widow who becomes the sole witness to a brutal double murder, and Clive, a former deputy sheriff now working for his family’s security business.
The novel opens with a gripping, suspenseful scene that sets the tone and steadily builds tension throughout the story. One of the strengths of the book is the developing relationship between Holly and Clive, as both characters learn to trust each other and rely on one another for support in dangerous circumstances.
At times, the dialogue feels slightly disjointed or forced, and with a relatively short length of 208 pages, the pacing can feel rushed—especially toward the end, where the resolution comes together very quickly.
Overall, Shielded By The Cowboy is a clean, action-packed romantic suspense that delivers plenty of excitement and keeps the story moving from start to finish.
I am grateful to the author and publisher for providing me with an advance review copy. I was under no obligation to provide a review, and my opinions are entirely my own.”
“Even though there was no spice I absolutely loved this, had me gripped from the start! First time I have read anything by Connie Queen and I will be reading more”
