Great romantic suspense collection -- Sins of the Past

The three authors' names on the front cover of this book were all I needed to guarantee that it would be a great collection of romantic suspense stories -- and I was not disappointed at all with Sins of the Past!

The three stories -- while very different in intensity level and storytelling style -- have a couple of things in common.  Each was written by one of the greats in the world of inspirational romantic suspense.  And each is a page-turner, keeping you guessing as you follow the main characters through life and death situations that evolve along with romance and some growth in faith.  As is necessary in the shorter novellas, both the romance and the suspense happen pretty fast, so hold on tight for the ride!

The title is a great fit, as each story is somehow connected to events from the past that have never really been laid to rest.  I don't know of any connection to other books by Dee Henderson or Lynette Eason, but fans of Dani Pettrey's Alaskan Courage series should enjoy the backstory of the McKenna family.

Thanks to Dani Pettrey and her publisher for sending me a copy of this book.  I am pleased to return the favor with an honest review.
