Wonderful book! So full of suspense and surprises! Colleen Coble knocks it out of the park! ( )

Break of Day by Colleen Coble is the third and final book in the Annie Pederson series. I was definitely invested in the characters and the storyline because of the first two books so I was excited to read the conclusion to the trilogy. This book picks up right where book two leaves off (can't say more than that to avoid spoilers) and is fast-paced from beginning to end. This book is full of action and twists and yet also provides resolutions to the loose ends. I can say I was honestly surprised by the ending. I would definitely add this romantic suspense series to your TBR is you haven't already, but I would highly recommend reading all three books in order in order to experience all the twists and turns.

Thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for a copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own. ( )

Title: Break of Day (An Annie Pederson Novel #3)
Author: Colleen Coble
Pages: 334
Year: 2023
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Throughout the series, readers follow Annie Pederson as she manages her life responsibilities along with the pain of the past. Annie’s sister, Sarah, was abducted as a young child. They have been reunited, but there have been challenges along the way. In the final installment of the series, Colleen Coble takes her audience on a journey of faith, love, hope, loss, and hard work.
Dr. Jon Dunstan wants to marry Annie and be a father to their daughter that he hasn’t been up until now. However, Jon is still healing from the injuries he sustained when he went with Annie to rescue their daughter Kylie. Then, there is Annie’s sister Sarah who betrayed Annie’s trust and is facing a rough legal road ahead.
Yet, lurking in the background is someone who wants to bring the two sisters together but not for a happy reunion. The investigation into a multitude of missing hikers has Annie digging for the truth, and that causes the villains to up the ante with the goal of removing Annie and Sarah from the world. Could the people who seem to be the most helpful to the Pederson family be the masterminds behind a deadly game?
The Annie Pederson Series includes the novels Edge of Dusk, Dark of Night, and Break of Day. It is an outstanding and thrilling tale spanning all three books. I read them as they were released, and each one left me wanting to see what would happen with the mystery, marina, and Pederson family. The action never seemed to let up and when it did, the twist in the plot or actions of the characters brought it right back into play. The series is masterfully written, and it engages the reader from start to finish. I recommend reading each book to enjoy the full scope of the story. It is well worth the time to read! I can’t wait to read Colleen’s next novel, which is Fragile Designs, releasing January 2024!

SPECTACULAR ROMANTIC SUSPENSE!

Best-selling author Colleen Coble has just released Book 3 of her Annie Pederson Novel Series, and, in my opinion, Break of Day is the cream of the crop! These books may be read as stand-alone, but to truly understand the deeper meanings of the characters' complicated relationships, they should be read in sequential order. Coble delivers spectacular romantic suspense that will keep readers blazing thru the pages. She tackles issues such as family drama, child abduction (past and present), estrangement, lost and found love, and a killer on the loose. Add all of these elements together and it adds up to a spectacular romantic suspense!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by Thomas Nelson and NetGalley. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own and without influence. ( )

Break of Day is Colleen Coble's third Annie Pederson novel. To be fully understood, the books in this series need to be read in order. That seems to be true for most, if not all, of Coble's series. As is to be expected in romantic suspense series, the main characters must go through quite a bit of drama in the final installment before reaching their happily-ever-after. Coble carries this drama off with great flair that will firmly hold the reader's interested. I didn't identify any deep themes in the story, and it didn't hold any big surprises, but it was enjoyable to read. While the writer says that Annie Pederson might be her favorite character of those she's written, my vote still goes to Bree Matthews of the Rock Harbor series.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of this novel from Thomas Nelson via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own. ( )
