The start of a great new series!

This is romantic suspense at its finest. With great characters that pull you in, I couldn't put this one down.

This is my first book by this author and I will definitely read the backlist, and can't wait to see where this series goes

Rounded to 3.5

I’m in the minority here. I enjoyed this book but it took me a hot second to get invested and also the ending was pretty disappointing to me. It didn’t leave me feeling like wow. It ended abruptly. I did enjoy the romance aspect to it and the fact that Andi could see past Christian’s past just like Jesus does for us.

Thank you NetGalley and Bethany publishing for my copy!

One Wrong Move open a new series for the author. Dani Pettrey takes the reader to the land of enchantment far from water where previous series are set.
An art heist brings together security specialist Christian O’Brady and insurance investigator Andi Forester. Christian and Andi both have hard things in their past that are going to play a role in how the story plays out.
I love the cast of characters. Christian and Andi are good together, so complementary in their strengths.
I enjoyed the message that new life can be found in Christ. This is true even if people from our pasts aren’t ready to accept that people can change.
There is plenty of danger and suspense. I enjoyed reading from start to finish.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bethany House for the review copy of the book.

Everything you could want:
This was a wonderful Christian romantic suspense novel where the mystery and intrigue kept me guessing right up to the end. It was fast paced, with plenty of action and I loved how it was unpredictable yet still easy to follow. There was a complexity and depth to it and I also enjoyed the light Christian message.
There was a sweet romance between Andi and Christian, who made a delightful couple. It was also fun getting to know the supporting characters. I thought it was interesting having a concurrent investigation and budding romance between Harper and Deckard and now I can't wait for the next book in the series to find out what happens with them.

Another exciting book by a terrific Author!! You feel like you are the main character in the book and that the excitement is you!

Join the action with a former heist-master-turned-investigator and his partner in solving crime, a disgraced FBI agent seeking to clear her name. These two must prove themselves, stop a string of gallery heists, solve a couple murders, and still find time to figure out if they’re in love. This story has one action scene after another—no “sagging middle” to slow you down! As a bonus, One Wrong Move has not one…not two…but two and a half romances.

I received this book from the publisher and was not required to leave a review. The honest opinion is my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed One Wrong Move from start to finish. It was a great introduction to the new Jeopardy Falls series, with a likeable cast of characters that the reader gets to know well in this novel.

I was happily surprised that there were actually two cases that needed solving in the story. The main plot followed Andi and Christian as they worked to uncover who was behind a string of art gallery heists. Investigations, dangerous attacks on their lives, and a captivating southwest setting made for an intriguing story. Throughout it all, the author wove in a believable romance that developed between Christian and Andi which was packed with many swoony moments.

The side plot involved the possible clearing of Andi’s name and an investigation into who could have framed her and cost her the career that she was forced to leave in the FBI. It was great to see Christian’s brother, Deckard, work with Andi’s friend, Harper, to dig into the events that so changed Andi’s life.

The author always does a great job of weaving in beautiful moments that show the characters’ reliance on God and this book remained true to that, as well. I’m excited to read the future books that will come out in this series. Christian and his siblings have interesting back stories and it will be fun to see them find their own happily ever afters.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Christian and Andi are a dynamic duo. I loved watching them work side by side and also loved following the two crime mysteries converge into one beautifully orchestrated story because of Christian and Andi. The plot was intricate and intense, full of action, adrenaline, and surprises. Dani Pettrey really knows how to write romantic suspense - this book will grab you from the start and you will not be able to put it down.

Christian, despite his horrible childhood, is a rock solid hero who is loyal, steadfast, and dedicated. I loved meeting his family and cannot wait to see more of his siblings in the series. Andi is smart and likable. Though it takes a little while for them to warm up to each other, their romance is sigh-worthy.

Bring on the next adventure in Jeopardy Falls, NM!
I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Bethany House via LibraryThing and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.

Intriguing and suspenseful, I was quickly drawn into this engaging adventure that balances romance and relationships with an action-packed plot.

I liked how Christian and Andi both were able to use negative things in their pasts for good, getting to know each other and bonding over faith. I liked their interaction, banter, and seeing their friendship grow. It was also great seeing the whole team work together, and get to know their friends through the sub-plots.

All around this was an enjoyable read, great character development, faith, interaction, a mystery that kept me guessing, and with a full cast of characters that I can't wait to revisit!

3.5 stars

Thank you Bethany House and Dani Pettrey for my #gifted copy. All thoughts and words are my own.

Andi and Christian are drawn together in a suspense filled crime mystery following a string of Art Gallery heists in the South West. Along with Christian's siblings, both try to solve, not one, but two crimes. We primarily follow one romance, however I do see plans in the making for the other two couples. Psst Greyson...

I have read a few of Dani's books in the past, including her Alaska series. She writes fantastic settings, and strong action and suspense scenes with great detail. And it shows in this book!

I had a couple issues with the overall storyline. The romance felt very lackluster. I kept being drawn to one of the other relationships rather than Andi and Christian. The romance would have been stronger had the story focused primarily on them rather than mixing in other relationships.

The book also has a lot of grammatical errors which I found distracting especially since I read a finished copy.

Overall, I really enjoyed the suspense and the mystery of the story. I think that is Dani's strength for sure.

Dani Pettrey’s books are auto-reads for me. I’ve read everything she’s written and I am so excited about this new series! This first installment does not disappoint. I really like that this series revolves around a group of siblings involved in some manner of law enforcement/public service. I also enjoyed that we get dual mysteries in this story, not only do we get a series of art heists and murder, we also get a mystery regarding Andi’s past and wrongful accusations that she botched a murder investigation. Even though there are two mysteries, it’s not at all hard to keep them straight and neither mystery seems shortchanged in favor of the other mystery. My favorite thing about this story is the characters, the author has created a great group of characters and after meeting them in this book, I can’t wait to see where the series takes them. After reading this book, I am completely invested in MacLeod siblings as well as Andi, Harper and Greyson. I also hope Bristol shows up in the course of the series because I would love to see her reunite with her siblings. This read has a few surprises and lots of excitement and book 2 can’t release soon enough for me!

Love it when I read a new-to-me author and I want to find more of their books. This story involves multiple storylines, not only two investigations but three couples headed toward romance. One investigation is to clear one of them of botching a murder case. The other to solve a string of gallery heists with deadly outcomes. The MacLeods, two brothers and a sister, are skilled at research and reading each others intentions. Their story moves quickly, alternating viewpoints makes sure we get all the perspectives on both cases. The research involved about the stolen art and investigation techniques must have been fun and detailed because it reads as if Pettrey knows her stuff. I received an early copy through NetGalley and hope to read another soon. My review was given freely.

I am eager for Dani Pettrey's new series, as she is one of the best suspense Christian writers! This new series introduces us to a sibling set, and I am assuming the series will follow each of them. The first book was a really great blend of storylines - a current mystery of art gallery heists and a past crime pinned on the heroine that needs to be solved.
I thought Dani's writing was excellent as usual, and the two main characters were suitably developed (plus a few more I am eager to read more about in future books). The loves story and connection was touching.

Dani Pettrey knows how to write a suspense and her new release One Wrong Move doesn't hold back. The twists and turns fill the pages with all of the tension you need for a great story ... and then you add in the romance! This is a great start to the Jeopard Falls series and fans of romantic suspense will enjoy this one very much!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.

A fantastic opening to a new series! This story hits the ground running and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end!

I received an ARC through Netgalley and all opinions are my own.

Andi Forester left her FBI life behind under suspicious circumstances and now is an insurance investigator. Tired of coming up against people who won’t believe she is innocent of negligence at her FBI job, she has determined to put it behind her. When security expert, Christian O’Brady, becomes involved in the case all of Andi’s past comes rushing forward. Will Christian believe her? Can they work together to solve the case?

This story has multiple mysteries and several side characters within it, which make it interesting and action-packed too. The complex past of both Andi and Christian showed that even though they are not perfect, they can move forward and find good in their lives.

If you like putting clues together to solve cases, you’ll enjoy seeing if you can figure out who is behind the art thefts before Andi and Christian do. Clearing Andi’s name and restoring her reputation is also a large part of the story. I liked seeing Deckard (the man who found her negligent at the FBI) work on the case once again and to locate witnesses and details that were not part of the original report and findings. This is the first book in the Jeopardy Falls series, and I am looking forward to reading the next story.

Read this story for:
riddles
rodeos
art theft
murder
great siblings
budding romances
faith
justice

I received a complimentary copy of the book through NetGalley. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.

One Wrong Move pulled me in from the very first page. It was full of action and suspense. There were multiple story lines that all tied together. We are introduced to ex FBI agent turned insurance investigator Andi Forester, her friend Harper Grace, and private investigators the O'Brady siblings Christian, Deckard, and Riley, and Greyson Chadwick their mentor.
Andi and Christian with the help of the others are trying to solve a chain of art robberies while Harper and Deckard are trying to solve who framed Andi causing her to be fired from the FBI.

This is a first book in a new series and I can't wait to visit Jeopardy Falls again. This book is a Christian suspense read with romance sprinkled in. I definitely recommend this book and really loved the story line

Reading a novel by Dani Letter is like this:

Imagine you've purchased a thousand piece puzzle, and it's a complicated one. You open the box and begin, slowly making progress until you have a gorgeous, complete picture that takes your breath away.

That, my friend, is what it's like to devour a book by Pettrey.

She is a master puzzle builder, taking the tiniest bits and patiently crafting until the end, and it literally took my breath away.

Because I was holding it in as I raced through the final chapters!

The beginning seemed a little slow, but I enjoyed meeting the new characters in Jeopardy Falls (don't you just love that name!), and watching the story take shape.

One other thing I struggled with was names. The two main bad guys both started with C and were very similar, so I kept having to go back and check who was who.

In spite of those two concerns, that ending blew my mind, hence the five stars. So take your time, enjoy the view, and buckle up for a mind boggling conclusion you will not see coming!

My thanks to the publisher for my advance copy. My review has not been solicited, and my opinion is true and honest.

Dani Pettrey has done it again! “One Wrong Move” is another great romantic suspense novel. This one started off with a bang! It had non-stop action throughout the entire book. I enjoyed all the characters and the chemistry with the two main characters. I highly recommend this book and all of Dani Pettrey’s books.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.
