Santa Fe Setup (Love Inspired Suspense)

Santa Fe Setup is the well written story of Luci Butler and BLM investigator Bard Hollan (and his K9 dog, Hero). Bard was a friend of Luci's older brother and when he senses she might be in trouble... he goes to guard over her. Unbeknownst to him, she is a troublemaker in her own right. Can Bard make right a past wrong and keep Luci alive? Can Luci finally come to terms with her family issues and see the big picture? There are plenty of twists and turns. The story kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was the culprit and who really had a part in the crime. Added to that is family drama and a love interest... so much in one little book! You'll definitely want to read the book to find out! I loved how Santa Fe Setup is a stand alone book, but also connects back to Cavern Cover-up. It's not necessary to read them both, but it was nice reconnecting with characters from the previous book. Also, I love that I can read Katy Lee's books and not find a ton of spelling/grammatical errors. Too many times, I am so caught up with these issues, that I can't enjoy the books. Thank you to Katy Lee and her editors/proof readers for making her books easier to read!

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Santa Fe Setup. I'm a big fan of Katy's work, I loved this one. It's well-written, action-packed, and full of faith. I know you are going to love it.

Santa Fe Setup by Katy Lee Wrongly accused and caught in a criminal's crosshairs. Soon after artist Luci Butler learns someone has been hiding drugs inside her paintings she also discovers ruthless killers are aiming to silence her. Only her brother’s coworker, Bard Holland, is on her side. The pair must race to clear her name and track a murderer straight into the unforgiving mountains of New Mexico. Despite Bard’s determined protection, Luci is being drawn dangerously close into a killer’s merciless endgame. This is Luci Butler and Bard Holland's story. The young woman was fast on her feet, so much lighter than himself who had to carry over six feet of bulk muscle. Even with the framed painting tucked under her arm, she managed to stay ahead. The spring in her step faltered, and she looked over her shoulder at him. But she never stopped running. “You’re in danger. I’m here to help you.” “It’s mine!” she shouted back and picked up her steps to run faster. She turned the corner at the next intersection, and when he made it there, she was gone. Bard kept his eyes locked on the man in the black hoodie. Skinny guy, six feet, face shielded beneath the hood. White hands. Hands that were reaching for his gun as Luci came around the corner of the storefront. It was go time. Stay,” he commanded his Belgian Malinois in the back seat of his unmarked car. Bard pulled the door handle and pushed hard. He had his own gun drawn and ready to take the shooter out. “Hold it right there,” he ordered in his most lethal cop voice. Both the shooter and Luci froze. I recommend reading. Santa Fe Setup by Katy Lee is a wonderful well written 5 star book. I am looking forward to reading more books by Katy Lee. I received an advance copy from the author but all opinions are my own.
