Probably the number one question any author receives is “How did you come up with the idea for the story?”

When the Love Inspired editors announced, in February 2019, they were hosting The Great Love Inspired Author Search, I knew I had to enter. After all I’d spent the last six years targeting the Harlequin Love Inspired lines. This would be my fourth time entering one of their pitch contests, my third pitching to Love Inspired Suspense. The only problem was I didn’t have anything new to enter. They’d already seen all of my manuscripts.

I follow the Love Inspired editors on social media, so I had read several posts on themes and settings they’d like to see. One editor had even mentioned Colorado as a setting she’d like to see in a book. This started my wheels turning because my husband and I lived in Colorado for a few months when we were first married. We loved our time there and have often talked about going back one day. I started researching parts of the state that we didn’t get to visit when we lived there, and then I created the fictional small town of Blackberry Falls.

I’d had an idea in the back of my head for while about a story that involved a heroine who wasn’t in law enforcement but who witnessed a crime while on video chat. That’s how I came up with Grace Porter, a veterinarian who had run away from her small-town roots. And what’s a homecoming story without a reunion romance? Enter, Police Chief Evan Bradshaw, the man Grace had left behind. Once I had the opening scene, main character, and setting in place, everything else just kind of evolved from there.

My Review

Rocky Mountain Revenge is a wonderful debut for author by Rhonda Starnes. I thought it was a pretty good read. I loved Grace and Evan and enjoyed the undeniable chemistry between the two. The story is full of suspense, adventure, action and mystery. I thought the plot was somewhat predictable but I still thought it was so good to read. I was entertained from the page one all the way to the end. It was a fun and delightful book to read.

I am giving Rocky Mountain Revenge four stars. I recommend this one for readers who enjoy reading quick romantic suspense. I would be interested in reading more books by Rhonda Starnes in the future. I do not think this one should be missed and definitely worth a read.

I received Rocky Mountain Revenge from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
