    About this audiobook

    In this collection of gripping novellas from the top authors of Christian romantic suspense, sins of the past lead to danger in the present. In Dee Henderson's "Missing," a Wyoming sheriff is called to Chicago when his elderly mother gus missing. Paired with a savvy Chicago cop, the two realize her disappearance is no accident, and a race against the clock begins. Dani Pettrey returns to Alaska with "Shadowed," introducing readers to the parents of her beloved McKenna clan. Adventure, romance, and danger collide when a young fisherman nets the body of an open-water swimming competitor who may actually be a possible Russian defector. Lynette Eason's "Blackout" delivers the story of a woman once implicated in a robbery gone wrong. The loot has never been found--but her memory of that night has always been unreliable. Can she remember enough to find her way to safety when the true culprit comes after her?

      It was ok and helped pass the time. Understandably it was a short story writing exercise and I certainly couldn't do better so I appreciate the effort given. I wouldn't recommend it for purchase though bc it's not long enough for what I'm looking for. It's good, clean, romantic suspense.

      Each of these were an excellent story and I really enjoyed each one!

      I'd started listening to this many months ago. I got it for Dani Pettrey's book that was a prequel to one of her series. I didn't listen to the others because I thought they were part of series as well and hadn't read any books by either author.

      One day when I was out of audiobooks and needed something short, I remembered these. I searched and it looked like they were stand-alone stories.

      I really liked the audio narrators for Dee and Lynette's novellas. The one that did Dani's isn't my favorite.

      Each of the stories were interesting and had differing levels of suspense and romance. It had been a long time since I'd read a suspense book. These gave me a taste and have me looking forward to more.

      This is a collection of 3 novellas by 3 different authors. The theme of each story is romantic suspense. I've read Dee Henderson in the past but not the two other authors. I enjoyed each one.

      February is the month for love and romance, and when a story is paired with action-packed suspense, well, you really cannot go wrong. The 3-novella collection, Sins of The Past has all that and more — the wonderful writing of not 1, not 2, but 3!! of the best romantic suspense authors in Christian fiction. When you dive into this book you are in for a sweet treat! You get tough and determined heroines, hunky heroes with a soft side, and twists and turns that make the pages fly. The only down side? You’ll be done with this book in no time and be yearning for more!I loved that each novella was classic Henderson, Pettrey and Eason. In Missing, the reader returns to Chicago to solve the case of a missing mom. In Shadowed, the reader gets the low-down on the McKenna’s parents romantic beginning, as well as adrenaline-fueled suspense. And in Blackout, the reader will be on the edge of her seat trying to figure out just what the main characters are missing. Characters are easy to like, and the plots will keep you guessing. The common thread of a sin from the past that plagues the main characters is a clever way of linking the stories.So if you are looking for the perfect Valentine’s read, I highly recommend you pick up Sins of The Past. I loved it and I am betting you will too!Highly Recommended.Audience: adults.(Thanks to Bethany House for a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

      This book gets off to a slow start to me. I like how Sarai is rescued from defilement by her half-brother, Abram, and the two are soon married. A curse was placed on Sarai that she would be barren. Abram his wife, Sarai and his family leave Ur because of the Elamites attacking. His brother Haran is killed and the family, except Nahor escape. Being lead by the promises if his God, Abram leads his family on a journey that he has no idea where he is going. They arrive in Egypt. Fearing for the lives, Abram lies to Pharaoh causing him to order a fleet of barges to take Abram and his large family to Tanis where they were to gather their servants and herds and leave Egypt. Sarai and Hagar. Hagar gives birth to a son. Abram's name changes to Abraham, exalted father. Sarai's name also was changed to Sarah, princess. Sarah gives birth to Isaac. The characters are intriguing. To have faith to leave all that you know and fell safe at, to go to some unknown place because God promised it to you is a life-altering faith and love. Pick up a copy today you will enjoy it. This is my first book by Roberta Kells Dorr. It is well written.I received a complimentary copy from Bethany House for my review.

      Title: Sins of the Past (Novella Collection)Author: Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, Lynette EasonPages: 384Year: 2016Publisher: BethanyMy rating is 5+ stars.There are three stories each one written by an author listed above: Missing (Dee Henderson), Shadowed (Dani Pettrey), and Blackout (Lynette Eason). The stories are not tied together and be prepared for them to each totally engage you the moment reading them begins! In Missing a former Chicago police Officer returns from to help locate his mother who has been missing for hours without a clue! In Shadowed Libby is in Alaska for a competition swim when she meets Ben McKenna while on a whale sighting tour. However, not only do they sight whales but a body too and Libby knows the person! Finally in Blackout a woman who in her earlier life ran away to meet a boyfriend only to somehow become entangled in a murder and theft. The hard part is she has no memory of that fatal night and her life depends on remembering!Each of the stories was worth the wait for me though it was hard as I anticipated each author’s story telling ability to keep me turning pages till I finished the book! If you like suspense and surprise endings or thrills while figuring out how the culprit will be discovered then this collection is for you! The action, adventure and faith woven throughout the tales are exciting to say the least! You won’t soon forget the fun you had reading the book and I know I will eventually be rereading them sometime down through the years! I will also be sharing the book with friends or family who want to read good books, perhaps you will too!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.

      Sins of the PastDee Henderson, Dani Pettrey and Lynette EasonBook Summary: Three Novellas from Bestselling AuthorsIn Dee Henderson's "Missing," a Wyoming sheriff is called to Chicago when his elderly mother goes missing. Paired with a savvy Chicago cop, the two realize her disappearance is no accident, and a race against the clock begins.Dani Pettrey returns to Alaska with "Shadowed," introducing readers to the parents of her beloved McKenna clan. Adventure, romance, and danger collide when a young fisherman nets the body of an open-water swimming competitor who may actually be a possible Russian defector.Lynette Eason's "Blackout" delivers the story of a woman once implicated in a robbery gone wrong. The loot has never been found--but her memory of that night has always been unreliable. Can she remember enough to find her way to safety when the true culprit comes after her?Review: Great set of authors that come together for an equally great story from each of them!!!Missing - Intense beginning with an exciting adventure to find John’s mom. The speed of the story was fantastic! A lot happened in a the brief pages of this story. About two thirds of the way through the book his mom is found safe and sound. Than unravelling the mystery begins. From start to finish a great read and quite a fast one at that.Shadowed - A blast from the past. Well captured in this story! The year is 1979 and Libby and Ben, the parents of the McKenna clan are meeting for the first time. A bit of nostalgia, without having to wear the clothes or live through the time again - or perhaps for some the first time. Laying the ground work for the McKenna house and excitement of Alaska rolled into one. Blackout - Heart pounding and intense story. From the first line to the end this roller coast caps off the book with a true grand finally. The lead characters were flawed and realistic. Macey was not the straight arrow most lead characters are portrayed. Chad was a great lead with some shyness showing throughout. It was well written garnering sympathy for those who died and root for justice to be done. Loved Lilly and want to know when her mystery and romance will happen!I would like to thank Net Galley and Bethany House Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

      A mother disappears from her Chicago home . . . a swimmer mysteriously dies in Alaska . . . a woman haunted by the things she cannot remember. These three suspenseful romantic novellas are short enough to read in one sitting, but well-written and filled with interesting characters. In “Missing,” police chief John Graham joins forces with Riverside police lieutenant Sharon Noble in a desperate search to locate his mother, who has vanished from her retirement community home. “Shadowed” spins a tale around the discovery of a competitive swimmer’s body that throws an Alaskan fisherman into dangerous waters.Macey Adams, haunted by nightmares and enigmatic flashes of memories that have eluded her for years, becomes the target of a killer in “Blackout.”A touch of romance, suspense-building plots, and an unexpected twist or two all work together to keep the pages turning. Swiftly pulling readers into each story, the building tension adds urgency to each tale. Readers will find much to enjoy in these unique tales.Highly recommended.

      Three compelling stories in one book, written by three authors I've read for some time. Dee Henderson is my favorite, her police procedural stories are so true to life. Dani Pettrey writes about the parents of the McKenna family, part of her Alaskan courage series which by the way is a great series. Lynette Eason pens the tale of a woman who has lost her memory and as they are slowly coming back she realizes someone is trying to keep her from remembering even if they have to kill her. There's plenty of suspense and light romance in each novella. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I received a copy of this book free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
