I'm posting two reviews today- Book 1 and Book 2 of a great suspense romance series by Linda Gatewood.

Or will a Winter Secret keep them apart?
My Review: 4 Stars!
‘Winter Secret’ is an enthralling page turning. I knew I was
settling in to read a suspenseful romance, but I was not expecting all of the vigorous
action. From page to page, chapter to chapter Gatewood has her characters,
Cynthia and Derek, fighting to breathe life into the part of their journey. I followed
Derek and Cynthia through harsh weather, kidnappings, nearly fatal wounds, and explosions
all while an endearing new complicated relations tried to blossom. This story
was intriguing from the first page and look forward to seeing what else is in
store for the duo in the next book!
I received my copy of ‘Winter Secret’ free from the author
in exchange for my honest review.

Book 2: Spring Promise
The love between Derek and Cynthia was tested to the limit in the exciting first book Winter Secret, but will it be strong enough to withstand the continuing forces that strive to separate them? Once again, a new season brings new adventures and terror to the couple who ask for nothing except to be together. A mysterious relic in the form of an ancient map and key surfaces and ends up in the hands of Cynthia and Derek, who must once again discover its secrets. The pursuit of ancient hidden gold and treasure is a lure that draws greedy men into dangerous situations and ultimately interfaces the lives of Derek and Cynthia. Not only is Derek labeled a terrorist, but they are both drawn into the mysterious and threatening world of ancient legends and myths of the earliest Americans. Derek continues to struggle with the pursuit of the man who murdered his parents and his obsessive need for revenge, while Cynthia faces a new, personal, and unexpected threat to their continued union. Will they be able to stay together and keep the promises they made to each other or will the forces against them destroy the hopes of their Spring Promise? Spring Promise is the second book in the four-book "Winter Secret" series, each encompassing a season in the life of Derek Flynn and Cynthia Morrison.
My Review: 4 Stars!
‘Spring Promise’ starts pretty much where ‘Winter Secret’
let off. In this book, we are able to join Derek and Cynthia during the calm
before the storm. The first few pages will lull you into thinking nothing could
ever go wrong again for the happy couple. Yet, Gatewood has packed another thrilling
ride of more secrets, treasures hunting, crazy weather, and a lethal vengeance that
tries the once again tear the couple apart. This is a great read that will
leave you wondering who is lurking in
the shadows, and how will the couple
make it through this next great feat.
