Torrie is the heir to a hotel dynasty, but for now she is just an IT worker who is trying to find her best friends killer. A wonderfully suspenseful mystery with a touch of romance. Highly recommend

I have read this author a long time and you can always count on Colleen Coble to write a good book with a great mystery involved! This time she sets her story on Jekyll Island and the plot is quite good.

My thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishing for a copy of the book via Net Galley. The opinion expressed in this review is expressly my own.

A Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble is an intense, fast moving story. Torie has gone back to her childhood home to see how her friend died. Someone is trying to chase her away and she turns to Joe for help.

It is well written with caring characters that kept me waiting to find out how Torie’s friend and mother died. There is a second suspense story within this one that deals with Joe’s ship. This is a good island story to read. It is filled with action, suspense, mystery and some romance. The story focuses on family relationship and trusting God. This is a good clean story that I enjoyed reading very much.

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this story, this is my honest review.

Colleen Coble is one of my favorite authors. This is a outstanding suspenseful novel that is a stand alone. Thank you to Net Galley and to the publisher. My review opinions are my own.

I loved the charcters the author featured in this novel. The author has a interesting story that captured this reader and kept me reading to conclusion. I loved the mysterious setting that adds richly to the background and the well crafted mystery. This is a page turner and for fans of this author we are thrilled to read this stand alone and hope for more in the future. A very enjoyable read from Colleen Coble.

Gripping is right. Coble is a master at writing suspense that keeps you reading and sticks with you after the story ends. Torie takes on her own undercover assignment, even though she's not law enforcement. Joe, without knowing her true identity, helps Torie search for the reason her best friend died; all while protecting his daughter. I enjoyed A Stranger's Game and the twists and turns that finally led to the killer. Colleen Coble's writing wraps you in the story and leaves you breathless by the end. If you enjoy great suspense, you'll want to read A Stranger's Game. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

"A Stranger's Game" is another great suspenseful read by Colleen Coble. This novel had a lot of different twists and turns along the way. It was a little different plot than most inspirational romantic suspense novels. It kept my attention and made me want to get to the end to find out who really was "the bad guy." I highly recommend this novel. It is a good, clean mystery.

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

"A Stranger's Game" is a Christian romantic suspense. Unfortunately, there were a lot of unexplained plot holes in this story. The clues about means, motive, and opportunity (implied rather than actually asked about) implied certain skills and levels of access that at least one suspect needed. At the end, the main bad person was uncovered, and I wasn't surprised due to previous hints. But while the main things were explained (who killed Torie's mother, who were those divers, and the goal of the bad people), so many incidences along the way to the end were left unexplained. Like why kill one person for uncovering a planned crime, kill another person who helped cover up the first murder, then voluntarily leave a clue to the plot on Torie's doorstep?

Anyway, the main characters were likable, and I cared about what happened to them. There was some suspense from the slowly escalating attempts to frighten Torie and attempts to kill Joe. Torie and Joe grew to admire and then care for each other as they spent time together. The Christian element was trying to explain to a child why we trust God even after He lets bad things happen. There was no sex or bad language.

A Stranger’s Game contains suspense with an added element of romance. Torie is determined to figure out the mystery surrounding her best friend’s death. She will team up with Joe to get the answers she desires…if she can stay safe from the person who is trying to foil her plans. A good story that’ll make you want to keep turning the pages!

A Stranger's Game is another great read by Colleen Coble. I highly recommend it and am giving it five stars.

I have read a number of Colleen Coble’s books, which are usually a romance with a dash of suspense. A Stranger’s Game follows Torie’s investigation into her best friend’s death on the island where her mom passed away many years ago. This was not one of my favorites from Coble. It seemed a little far fetched that no one would immediately figure out who Torie really was and cheesy that she would try and investigate. Torie and Joe were hard to connect with and I found myself pushing to finish this book and get it over with. That being said, my favorite part of this book is the island setting; Coble’s writing brings the beach vibes to life!

This book was so good, I couldn't put it down! Tori and Joe had a connection from the get go and the mystery that Colleen Coble wove was riveting. Her novels are always timely and fascinating, A not to be missed page turner!

I loved the twists and turns of this book. There were a few mystery's to solve in this book and I enjoyed trying to figure out each one. The characters were well written and complex. An overall enjoyable read.

Torie is back on Jekyll Island after her childhood friend is found dead. Everyone believes she drowned, except for Torie. So she returns to her childhood island, undercover to see what she can uncover.
She meets Joe and his young daughter. There is attraction early on, although they both tried to ignore it !
This book has action right from the start.

This author has quickly become my go to for romantic suspense and she never disappoints!

Wow! This is a great book! The author brings alive Jekyll Island, training sea lions for the Navy, along with a large dose of suspense and mystery.
Torie is desperate to find the true reason for her best friend’s “suicidal” death. Her friend who was digging into the eighteen year old death of Torie’s mother. Attracted to a widower, Joe, and his young daughter Hailey, only widens the circle of those targeted by the murderer.
Added to the stress of an unknown criminal taunting and killing, are some serious threats to the US Navy.
The story is very family oriented but danger will keep you turning the pages.

I can always count on Colleen Coble’s books to capture and transport me on a journey of suspense, drama, and romance and this book does just that!

Set on Jekyll Island, we follow hotel heiress Torie Bergstorm as she tries to discover who murdered her best friend. She quickly discovers it will not be as easy as she thought as she encounters danger and must face her past to find answers. Torie meets Joe and his daughter, Hailey, when she arrives on the island. Together, they work to discover what dangers are lurking on the island.

I found the different storylines explored very intriguing from the family dynamics, Federal Reserve, and Navy sea mammal training. This story will capture the readers heart with lovable characters and send it racing as they encounter danger. The twists and turns kept me guessing until the end of the book and thinking about it long after I closed the book. This book is a must read!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

A Stranger’s Game by Coleen Coble is a romantic suspense. I enjoyed that the main character had a different background. I chose the book because it was set in Jekyll Island and my sister loves to vacation there.

Torie is hotel heiress who came to town to investigate her best friend’s drowning. She didn’t believe it was an accident. So she comes here to find out what really happened. She is hiding her identity which causes problems when she becomes interested in Joe, who is part time security for the hotel.

Joe is a single father which made for some adorable scenes between him and his daughter. This was one of the highlights of the story.

Sexual content – kissing
Violence – nothing graphic but there are some murders and attempts on people’s live.

This new mystery by Colleen Coble is fast-paced and compelling. There were plenty of twists and turns, suspense, romance, as well as a look at family relationships and discovering what’s really important. There are great characters and a bit of real history. It was a riveting read and I enjoyed every page! "I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

A Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble hits all the requirements of a romantic suspense. Filled with hints of danger to the heroine and a romance blooming between the hero and the heroine, the story takes off through the numerous twists and turns. While I enjoy a good suspense novel with hints of romance, this novel was okay for me. Not one of my favorite suspense elements. A little too predictable, yet not that mind blowing either. Wanted more suspense in the story. Similar, the romance seemed a little too out of touch with reality. The hero and heroine started feelings things for each other within the first meeting, then it just kept becoming the focused from then on out. I wanted less romance to the plot. The writing was top notch. I had no problem visualizing the setting that Coble had crafted for the readers. Readers will understand the emotions and the thought process. Overall, A Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble was an okay romantic suspense novel. Not one of my favorites. However, I believe it would be hard to keep readers guessing after how many novels that Coble has actually crafted.

I received a complimentary copy of A Stranger’s Game by Colleen Coble from Thomas Nelson Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Another one of Colleen's books that will keep you awake reading long after you. should be sleeping.
I loved the main characters. This book held my attention all the way through and it had a wonderful ending.
You don't want to miss out on this one!

Thank you, NetGalley, Colleen Coble, and your Publisher for getting this early book to me to read and review, in my own words.

I enjoy reading mysteries and especially mysteries by Colleen Coble. The story is suspenseful not only as to who the murderer is but also in other parts of the story. I liked the interaction between the 2 main characters and also with Hailey.
