The riveting start to an adventure-driven romantic suspense series from a debut author
Determined travel blogger Julia Stevens is on her final assignment in snowy Silverberg, Colorado. She’s running from her past-and God-but the charm of small-town life brings little comfort when she’s face-to-face with the winter sport that killed her skiing. Upon her arrival in town, she discovers a dead body and is compelled to research the situation, give justice to the man’s story, and kick off her new career in journalism.
Cade Haskins is back home after a failed mission and his subsequent retirement from the DEA. His father’s declining health has pushed Cade to prioritize family, and he helps at the historic Silverberg Hotel on his dad’s behalf. When Julia shows up at the hotel, Cade becomes her local contact. He quickly realizes she has a knack for sniffing around where she shouldn’t, and he attaches himself to her side.
With the local death connected to a meth ring, Julia’s investigation has unknowingly put a target on her back. As the danger increases and she begins to learn more about Cade and his family, she finds herself trusting the God she was running from. And Cade? He doesn’t want to get dragged back into DEA work, but it seems like he may not have a choice if he wants to protect Julia . . . and his growing attraction to her.
“Debut author Kelly Borjas raises the bar with High Exposure. It’s a fast, twisty romantic suspense, set in the snowy Colorado mountains, that blends high tension with a satisfying, hard-won romance.”
My Review:
Astonishingly good. Like unputdownable, emotionally-on-edge, desperately-needing-to-know-everything-now kind of good. I’m pretty much gobsmacked and addlebrained so I’m wrestling with what to write in this review.
Exquisite storytelling – measured words and phrases that paint vibrant images and bring scenes to life. Characters with complex backstories resulting in deep emotional layers that are s-l-o-w-l-y uncovered. Inspiring faith elements that make a reader think. A complex suspense plot with enough twists and turns to rob an avid reader of her very last breath! A romance built on substance but it takes work! And plenty of agonizing moments when I wanted to just lock Cade and Julia in a room together and make them talk it all out! I was soooooooo emotionally invested in their romance! (And them surviving long enough to figure things out.)
What an amazing debut novel. Heart-stopping suspense with plenty of hair-raising action and that love story – epic!
