Amazon review:
Alexa Verde again brings us a heart stopping, suspense filled novella.This novella packs a lot in fewer words.
Maya and Connor race across Texas trying to find Maya’s twin and solve the mystery of why she is missing.
I loved the , characters and the Texas setting.
Maya and Connor share God’s love and forgiveness and it helps their journey.
The story line was heart wrenching and I loved the ending.
Alexa is a good storyteller and I look forward to more by this author.

MISSING AND IN DANGER (previously published as Heart Restored)
After her fiancé died in her arms, Liv Knox gave up on romance and now dedicates her life to her ranch. But when a friend needs her expertise as an ex-runaway and a former PI, she agrees to help maths teacher Diego Laguardia find his missing daughter. Now, not only does Liv have to draw on her traumatic memories, she also struggles with her untimely attraction to reserved and kind Diego. When someone makes it clear they might die if they don’t stop the search, can she and Diego solve the mystery in time to get a second chance at love?
my point of view:
I am so blessed to have found this amazing author – Alexa Verde – and to be able to call her friend! She writes some of the most amazing stories that go straight to your heart, well, my heart, anyway! I don’t know how she manages to capture the depth of pain and suffering these characters go through, but I can tell you, she is spot on. I say it all the time, I love a book that can make me FEEL….I have my reasons for that. I know what it is like to blame oneself for other’s sufferings, and I know what it is to have a wall built so solidly around your heart for so long you cannot even remember the last time you felt something….but I digress.
Lets talk about Liv and Diego! Liv was first introduced in Heart Healed to us as the tough rancher that prefers horses to humans. I knew even then that this woman would eventually have a special place in my heart! Liv has been through so much, from childhood through her teens, and as an adult, that most people would be broken beyond repair! It takes the disappearance of Kylie, a teenager she does not even know to break through her shell and force her to help in the search, knowing what the young girl faces being a runaway on her own.
Diego is such a mess himself, with his own heartaches from a past he’d rather forget, now just when he finds out he has this amazing daughter, she runs away and is in possible danger! Diego is way out of his element here, I mean what’s a math teacher to do? There are no algorithms to solve this problem. When his half brother, known to us as Rat, sends Liv to him because God said to, well, who is he to argue with that? But does he have to be so attracted to Liv, all the while trying to find his daughter, and keep everyone from being hurt by death threats?
The journey these two have to take is both heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. Being believers does not make us all knowing with wisdom and light, sometimes we really need to dig deep into ourselves and take a step out in faith, and this story is a reminder to all of us that there are times when we all need to have a little more faith in ourselves, just as we place so much faith in our Lord and Savior!
Three complete romances full of love, faith, and danger to warm your heart and set it racing!
Takes me away from the craziness in the world.
That’s a great reason, Kim! Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you so much for the feature and for the kind words, Paula!
I’ve got this in my TBR stack!!
Thank you so much, Trudy! Hope you’ll enjoy it!
I love these books. I love trying to figure out who done it and then find out how wrong I was.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Terry! And that’s what I enjoy about mystery and suspense books, too.
I am blessed too! Alexa is awesome <3
Natalya, you’re the one who is awesome!
I love reading mystery books like these – and having a Christian basis is a plus! When I read them, my mind is drawn away from issues I’m facing; and yet I often find a biblical basis for resolving those issues!
That was so well said, Anita! Thank you!
I love all of Alexa’s stories, be they CCR or (Christian) Romantic Suspense. CRS accounts for about 25% of my reading, at a rough guess. Sometimes I just want something more than a CCR…..lol. The box set and series mentioned in this blog were all incredible. I heartily agree with everything Paula Marie said!
Margaret, you’re such a blessing to me! Thank you so much for your kind words!
I love reading them because they keep me on the edge of my seat! Have a great weekend and stay safe.
I love edge-of-the-seat books, too! Thank you for the good wishes, and have a great weekend and stay safe, too!
I just get really involved in the books and try to figure out what might happen. They keep me totally engaged.
Great answer, Mary!
Danger or mystery in a story gives the author a chance to express themselves in a different way in these books. As a reader I love being able to read the story and become part of the book by trying to relate to a character. It allows the “thrill” of the suspense while enjoying an amazing book.
Betty, ooooh that’s interesting! Experiencing te thrill as a character while enjoying the book! Thank you for commenting!
I love reading romances with suspense and mystery because I get wrapped up in the stories and the characters lives and I try to figure it out but I never do! The fact that our friends in the books are Christians makes it even better. Alexa is fantastic and I am happy to call her my friend.
I don’t read a lot of mystery/suspense books, but I think it’s because I haven’t found the right author. Because I love police/detective shows on TV. Criminal Minds, NCIS etc…
Ooooh, I looove Criminal Minds and NCIS! Some of my favorite shows. 🙂 Thank you for commenting!
I love suspense books, dangerous or mysterious. I’ve been hooked since reading Enid Blyton’s Famous Five, then Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys. My mom always said I should go outside & play & get some fresh air. So, I took my book outside & read. 😁 Pure escapism, that’s what it is.
I love the extra that suspense gives to a romance story. Or that romance gives to a suspense story. It is like have cookie dough in vanilla ice cream. It just makes it so much better.
I’ve loved suspense type novels since I read Famous Five by Enid Blyton, then Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys, when I was young. I have almost all of your books Alexa. Love them.
Denise, you made my day! Happy to hear you love my books! 😘
Stories of mystery and suspense make me think about the details of the story. I always try to figure it out before the end, and sometimes I’m right.
Jeanine, that’s one of my favorite parts, trying to figure out the mystery. Thank you for stopping by!
I enjoy them because they aren’t boring. They keep my interest at a peak. Thanks for all your creative writing.
Karen, I so agree about books keeping interest. And thank you for reading my books!
I’ve always believed a good work of fiction will be based on reality… and let’s face it, life is full of unexpected surprises, both good and not so good. A good suspense brings out the best and worst in people offering a chance for redemption that is NOT a simple I’m Sorry.
I like the suspense of not knowing and trying to figure out who did what.
I loved Alexa’s new series! Kim in NC
Thank you so much, Kim! You’re such a blessing to me!
I like suspense because it has that something more to keep you interested, than just a regular romance. There’s something to figure out and something to worry about (at least more than, will she get the guy, which they always do).
Shannon, lol, so true!
Dear Alexa,
I love the romantic suspense genre, especially when it is faith-based. Your books are just that. They have mystery, intrigue, and suspense and characters who have the faith that is needed to continue life’s journey. Absolutely love your books. Cannot imagine a day without reading!
I like reading mysteries because it is a bit outside my normal life. I always found detective shows (and medical shows) very interesting—to see how good my deductive powers are. lol
Suspense stories are fun to read because they keep my attention. I have to watch the details of the story to figure out the ending.
I read for pure pleasure. Books take me to a different world.
Mystery books allow me to engage my brain a little and see if I can solve the mystery. It makes me pay more attention to the story and It is a nice break from just plain romance books.
Mary, well said! I like the intellectual challenge of mysteries, as well.
I love getting the heart racing and the danger and (usually) a hero save or something, but not having to experience any of that myself. lol.
That made me laugh, Michaela! It would be a good part.
The winner of this is Natalya Lakhno! Congratulations!
I decided to draw one more winner. Another randomly chosen winner is Michaela. Congratulations!
