About the Book

Title: Frittered Moments
Series: Love and Danger in St. Claire #5
Author: Allison Pearl
Publisher: Anaiah Press, LLC
Release Date: October 23, 2023
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Deputy US Marshal, Perry Cole is back in the small town of St. Claire, and he didn’t come alone. Joined by the FBI and a witness who could crack his case wide open, Perry hopes to finally track down one of the most elusive criminals he’s ever targeted. But just as the hunt begins, a murder derails his plans. Now he must partner with the cute-but-snarky Deputy Sheriff Erin Kaminski to find the killer. Perry quickly finds himself getting distracted by the feelings Erin stirs up in him, and if he doesn’t get his head back in the game, one of them may end up at the top of the murderer’s hit list. 

The locals wanted someone else for the Deputy Sheriff position, but Erin Kaminski knows in her heart that St. Claire is where she’s meant to be. And finally, just as she becomes a familiar face to the locals, the FBI and US Marshals show up, making trouble. She wants them to do their job and leave, and so she becomes their local liaison. But when someone turns up dead, she wants to be the one calling the investigative shots. Instead, she’s partnered with the admittedly charming, but overly skeptical, marshal who thinks her faith is nothing but fantasy. With Perry’s constant questions and distracting lure, she needs to keep her head clear enough to see the danger creeping her way—or she’ll end up losing everything.

My Thoughts:

"Frittered Moments" by Allison Pearl really took me by great surprise!

From the cover, I was expecting a nice cozy mystery...  Instead I got a fast paced, high-energy, suspense-filled mystery!  A very pleasant surprise!

The dynamic between the male main character, Perry, and the female main character, Erin, was amazing.  I really enjoyed the collaboration of the U.S. Marshall and the small-town Sheriff Deputy.  Their banter was on point!

The faith theme was pleasantly prevalent and even though Perry was skeptical it was fun to read about his journey.

I thought the ending was well executed and wrapped all the details and questions up nicely.  I'm a reader who loves epilogues so I was very pleased to also get a glimpse into what happened after the roller coaster ride.

Allison Pearl is another new-to-me author but I'd LOVE to read more.  This book is part of the Love and Danger in St. Claire but can most definitely be read as a stand-alone novel as well.

"Frittered Moments" is a Christian suspense a bit of really fun romance.

I am very excited and thankful to review this book today!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
