this has three books by three different authors all mysteries/suspence. I found them to be ok and not so easy tto read. I found myself skimming to get through the book in some spots.

I'm not usually a fan of anthologies, but I am a fan of all three authors featured here. While each wrote a story with different characters, there is a reoccuring theme- a gang of murderous, semi incompetant outlaws. Each story is exciting, with the heroine put in danger, but ends up with the love of a good man, who she was not looking for and an HEA. The criminals do not.

I read an ARC from the publisher, via NetGalley.com. This is my unbiased and voluntary review

Each novella is filled with tension and suspense. 3 gripping reads.
Many thanks to Kensington and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wow, loved all three of these stories by these amazing authors!! Had it all, action, suspense, romance to keep you enthralled from the first page!! Alexandra Ivy is a new author to me but would love to read more of her & get updates on Tessa & Ian. I’d like Ian’s brother to get his own book. Rebecca Zanetti & Kat Martin are already two of my favorite authors and they never disappoint. I want to read more books about the Cattle Men in Rebecca Zanetti’s book. The main characters in all of the stories were wonderful. It was an absolute pleasure to read this book and thank you to Netgalley & the publisher for the arc!!

Peril is a collection of three different novellas by three different authors. I really enjoyed all three of them.

Redemption - Alexandra Ivy
This is the first time I have read this author and I really enjoyed her novella, I look forward to reading more. Tessa Ralston works cold cases and has the chance to take down the guy who killed her partner back in Colorado. She is going to do her best to make that happen. Detective Ian Sullivan is there to help her take down Mitchell and also help her see their one night stand 5 years ago wasn't a mistake. If she leaves town again he is willing to go with her. The writing style and the chemistry of the characters is great. I do wish this was a full length story because I so didn't want it to end! So glad to have found another great author!

Rescue: Hero Style - Rebecca Zanetti
It has been a while since I had read anything by this author so I was happy to read her work again!
I loved this novella and I am so hoping we get more of these characters. I loved Caden. I wanted to smack him for the way he did things but he did it for the right reasons, just needed to communicate. Ella is a firecracker! PTSD is real and the way people respond to it is different for everyone. Communication is the key though!

One Last Kiss - Kat Martin
Kat Martin is a newer to me author! I have only starting reading her books in the last few months and I have enjoyed everything I have read so far! Sam Bridger struggles treating Libby as one of the employees.. making her carry her luggage to her room, but he has to follow the rules that are in her uncles will. She has to work on his working ranch for one month. When she is threatened he knows that he and his friends are the ones to keep her alive and he knows then that his is completely in love with her. When her time is up and if he keeps her alive will she want to leave back to her life of glam or will the cowboy and life on the ranch be where her heart lies?

I loved all three of these novella's and would love more of all of the characters and their families!

This was a great way to spend a weekend. Great authors, great characters and great stories. The fact these stories were short and then woven together made for an interesting read. I really enjoyed this format. As usual the characters are great, the plots interesting and the romance steamy. Great twists and turns along the way.

They stories are what you expect and will keep you reading until all 3 stories are finished and readers will want more.

Rebecca Zanetti has done it again. Peril was a magnificent piece of fiction. Not what I normally read but I found it just as gripping as my usual genres.

I really loved this book! Although there are three stories in this book I enjoyed how each of them were connected in different ways. The characters are very interesting, great plot, and honestly all three stories were so well written I was engaged in the story and didn't want to do anything until I finished the book!!
I highly recommend this book and can't wait for it to come out on Audible also!

Peril by Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy and Rebecca Zanetti is a series of three novellas in the same print book. Each story follows the prior story and is linked by a series of crimes. However, for me the best parts are the hot men who work to save the women they are in love with from those criminals. The plots bring us from Colorado to Wyoming and back to Colorado again.

The first novella, Redemption by Alexandra Ivy, identifies our criminals and has a second chance romance. The second novella, Rescue: Hero Style by Rebecca Zanetti has lots of action and introduces us to the CattleMan Club (They are not just cowboys). The final novella, One Last Kiss by Kat Martin has a rich girl who has to work for her inheritance, but falls for the cowboy who saves the day.

I did enjoy all three novellas even though I missed the linking criminals at first. Interesting premise and interesting read. Peril by Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy and Rebecca Zanetti is a good read.

I love anthologies, you get different stories in one book. I especially loved this one because of Rebecca Zanetti's story. I can't wait for the next one in this series.

What a great collection of stories! Each author’s tale blends into the next as 3 fugitives continue their crime spree. And each author puts their own spin on the story. Alexandra Ivy focus mainly on the crime, with the romance being more of a secondary part. Rebecca Zanetti gives a more balanced spin between romance and crime drama. Kat Martin put her romance front and center, with the criminals doing their dastardly deeds in the background (with the exception of one very horrible act).
I love books like this and every single author here brought greatness to each story.
5 stars!!!

PERIL Blood Ties 3.5 by Alexandra Ivy, Rebecca Zanetti, & Kat Martin
This anthology has three very engaging stories that are interwoven. There is plenty of romantic suspense, drama, intrigue, deception, murder, chemistry, twists and plenty of turns. I have always enjoyed the work of all three of these talented ladies, and this is no exception. This is a 5 star read.

I picked this anthology up because I'm a fan of Rebecca Zanetti, but I enjoyed all three stories, Alexandra Ivy and Kat Martin being new authors to me. Each story is suspensful, romantic and steamy - a quick, entertaining read!

Three authors, three stories, three romances with one set of bank robbers who step from one plot to the next leaving behind their own trail of death and destruction.
Tessa once a passionate policewoman has changed after the death of her partner and now works the cold cases division in her precinct. When she finds out that Deke, her partner's killer has surfaced in Denver, she's off to exact her own brand of vengeance. Ian had once had a thing for Tessa but now made detective he is working in Denver and will partner up with the out of towner to apprehend Deke. Long hidden secrets, a bank heist leave behind an injured cop and a chance for the two to find love even though they lose Deke and his cohorts in the process.
Ella is drowning her sorrows when her fiancé, the local sheriff leaves for parts unknown. In the meantime, a group of bank robbers move into town, not that it is immediately obvious that they are bank robbers especially when one of them tries to romance Ella. However, with the help of a local group called the Cattleman's Club the bank heist is foiled, and Ella rescued from their clutches even as the bank robber's escape. For an added flair there's a wolf who plays a nice role in this story.
Libby is forced to come to Sam's dude ranch as a condition of her uncle's will. Here she is put to work cleaning the cabins where she makes new friends and begins to find herself and perhaps even falling in love with Sam. The only fly in her ointment are the two men who are supposedly here on a fishing trip but make the hair on her arms stand up. As it turns out the two are a part of a gang of three bank robbers who have escaped with a fair amount of stolen money. It's up to Sam and his friend to take a stand and attempt to stop these men especially when they take Libby as a hostage.
I'm not a huge fan of anthologies but in this case, I really like all three authors so decided to give it a go and was quite pleased that I did.

Wow, I really loved this book. These three stories are intertwined and I was absorbed on all stories. They were all completed with happy ever afters. Loved being connected and feeling their emotions. This book is worth re reading. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I highly recommend this book.

I love how authors are making anthologies more interesting these days. This has a story that's told in three parts, each progressing from where the last one left off. I'm pretty sure each story is set in the individual author's series. I am familiar with Rebecca Zanetti's books and I know her's was. This is romantic suspense that deals with bank robbers on a spree. The first takes place in Denver written by Alexandra Ivy. The second takes place in Redemption Wyoming by Rebecca Zanetti. The last story is by Kat Martin and is Colorado where all the bad guys are captured. I was pressed for time as this ARC review is way after publication so I skipped the first story and went on with the last two. I really enjoyed this book and the individual author's voices. Really good romantic suspense novellas.

The first story is Redemption written by Alexandra Ivy. It sets up the anthology and is about a group of guys who rob a bank in Denver Colorado.

The second story is Rescue: Hero Style, in a small town in Wyoming. Here we meet Ella Riverton who's grown up here but many considered her trailer trash. Her father took off with the town librarian leaving Ella and her mother to fend for themselves. Now Ella is grown and works in the bank. She has a broken heart because 6 weeks before, her fiance left her a note breaking up with her and left town. Caden Scott is the town sheriff and he took a leave of absence, but no word as to where he went. He comes back to town after attending a PTSD Survival Camp and finds Ella drunk at the local watering hole The Cattle Club. He insists he take her home. This begins their journey to reconciliation while ending up dealing with some non-professional bank robbers. They have one of the former residents in their crew who helps them rob the the bank Ella works at. Caden and the guys from the Cattle Club help track the robbers and save Ella from one of them.

The last story is by Kat Martin, One Last Kiss. Here we meet Sam Bridger who owns a cattle ranch that opens to guests in the summer. His old friend Bert Strieber last request was to give his grand-niece, Liberty Hale a job there for one month to remind her of where she came from. Bert raised her from 12 years of age after her parents died. Bert was rich and she lived well. In order for her to receive her inheritance after Uncle Bert dies she has to work for one month at Sam's ranch. Sam sees a spoiled little New York princess when she steps of the private plane. It takes some adjusting but she settles in and does her job. It seems her memories from her childhood are coming back being on the ranch like she was raised. When she attracts the attention of one of the robbers pretending to be fishermen at the ranch, Sam steps in. They end up having a hostage situation when the robbers try to make a getaway.

This was a wonderful set of stories that I really enjoyed. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
