GRR Reviews Trouble in Texas: Redfish Chronicles Book by Eve Gaddy

Trouble In Texas is an interesting romantic suspense with some good twists and turns.

Mark Kincaid was on a leave of absence, recuperating in the town of Redfish, Texas, trying to fix up the house his uncle left him... that nobody wanted to buy. He was shot in the line of duty as a special agent of the Texas Department of Game and Wildlife, investigating a smuggling ring that deals in exotic birds. Imagine to his surprise that he was awakened by a cacophony of bird calls at 6AM! Turns out his neighbor (and just over the city limits) is Cat Randolph, wild bird rehabilitator. Then Mark's partner stumbled into a lead... the smugglers are bringing in a shipment into Redfish... very soon. And who better to ask than Cat? But as Mark cozied up to Cat, then realized he's got too close and cooled off, Cat decided to escalate by switching seduction mode to high... But things took an ugly turn when Cat's brother's boat was implicated in the smuggling...

The characters are nicely drawn, and properly suspicious of each other. IMHO the end struggle could have been made a bit more exciting, but it worked well enough.
