Six-Gun Showdown (Appaloosa Pass Ranch #5)

Six-Gun Showdown (Appaloosa Pass Ranch #5)

by Delores Fossen

What a shock Jax got from listening to his voice mail hearing a voice he thought he would never hear again. An even bigger shock was when he walked out to the barn and the person attached to that voice was standing right in front of his eyes. No one can blame him for being hurt, angry and very upset for all the blame he has put on his self for his son and the loss of his mother. If only he had done this or that she might be alive. He is at a loss for words as his tempter rises why did she do what she did, why hadn’t she let him know she was a live? This is how the story starts giving you a full impact of suspense, action that capacitates you leaving you torn on who you feel sorry for the most. This was such a gripping read as the author pulls you in with vivid details of the terrifying ordeal Paige has faced at the hands of a serial killer the reason for faking her death.

The story takes off from a previous novel where Paige was killed leaving a family torn between the loss and love they had for her. Faking her death was done to protect her ex and their son as well as is the reason for her returned.  Not everything is as it appears someone is out to get their hands on Paige is it really the serial killer coming back or is there someone else? Things are just not adding up. Not everyone is happy with her return. There are so many suspects it is hard to tell who is friend and who is a villain. It is full of mystery, thrills that is action packed almost from the first page.

Jax and Paige and page might be divorce before her death but that doesn’t stop the sparks they feel with her return. Neither know just which way to turn as they work together to bring out the serial killer. You can feel the passion come right off the pages as these two butt heads on who will do what when. Nothing is more chilling than when you hear the voice of the man who tried his best to kill you. It just shoots chills right up my back. I had no trouble picturing this and so many more thrilling scenes. The author really brought this story to life for me painting a picture no one ever wants to be a part of.  This is one author who knows how to hold your attention why keeping your heart in your throat waiting to see what is about to happen. I was kept on the edge more than once trying to work out this mystery. The most touching scene is when her son sees her for the first time in so long it just about made me cry.

They must work at bring whoever is at fault down why keeping their son safe. If that isn’t bad enough the nanny is acting strange she isn’t at all happy with Paige’s return since she is in love with Jax. Add this to all the other strange things happening all around them it is enough to keep your head spinning.  Just when they think they have a handle on the issues things change leaving them spinning in their tracks.

I have not read all the previous novels in this series and did not feel I lost. However it does make me want to go back and read the ones I have missed I do feel it will add more to the story. With that said this is a standalone and you do not feel lost at what has happen or is happening. The author does a wonderful job at filling you in so you never feel like you are lost and have no trouble understanding everything. This is a thrilling romance that will keep you on your toes filled with such excitement and packed with action you will not find a dull minute here. It was a book I could not put down keeping me up late at night to finish it. I can hardly wait for the next one to find out more about these wonderful characters. I just love each and every one of them.

Summary

"I'm not dead." 

The voice mail rocks deputy sheriff Jax Crockett to his core. A year ago, Paige was murdered by the Moonlight Strangler. Yet his ex-wife just showed up at his ranch—out of options and out of time. There are only two reasons Paige would come back to Texas with a killer hot on her heels: Jax and their toddler son. Faking her death was the only way to keep them alive. But now it's Jax who's risking everything to protect his family. The cowboy lawman is also reawakening a powder keg of desire. A desire that's primed and ready to explode. Giving in will up the ante, igniting the embers of a love they may not live to claim.
