About the Book

Twilight at Blueberry Barrens (Sunset Cove #3)

by Colleen Coble

Description from Goodreads:

“I need you to keep these girls safe . . .”

Kate Mason has devoted herself to caring for her family’s blueberry barrens. But after her fields stop producing fruit, she’s forced to come up with alternative ways to make a living.

Renting out the small cottage on her property seems an obvious choice, but it won’t be enough. When entrepreneur Drake Newham shows up looking not only for a place to rent but also for a nanny for his two nieces, it’s almost too good to be true. And maybe it is—because Drake brings with him dangerous questions about who might be out to kill his family.

The more time Kate spends with Drake and the girls, the more difficult it becomes to hide her attraction to him. But a family crisis isn’t exactly the ideal time to pursue a romance.

Meanwhile, Kate learns that her uncle—in prison for murder—has escaped. Add to that a local stalker who won’t leave her alone, and Kate is looking over her shoulder at every turn. With threats swirling from multiple directions, she wonders if her blueberry fields will ever flourish again . . . or if this twilight is her last.

Set on the beautiful coast of Maine, Twilight at Blueberry Barrens brings together suspense, romance, and the hope that one day new life will come again.

Review

Twilight at Blueberry Barrens is a contemporary Christian romantic suspense. When Kate takes up the position of nanny for the attractive Drake’s daughters, she doesn’t expect it to come with fearing for her life from the villain chasing Drake’s family.

Just look at that cover! How could I not read it? I enjoyed Twilight at Blueberry Barrens. It was an interesting, suspenseful read. The plot and characters were well-thought out, and it was fun watching the romance develop between Kate and Drake. The story was suspenseful (but not too suspenseful; another series I read just about gave me an anxiety attack), and there were dangerous people coming from several avenues.

While this book didn’t hook me into reading the rest of the series (I’m not really a suspense fan at all) I remember it being an interesting novel. If you do like Christian suspense, then you’ve probably already heard of Colleen Coble and would enjoy this book much more than I have.

I received a complementary copy of this book. All opinions are my own, and I am not obligated to provide a positive review.
