Full of twists, dynamic characters, and a thrill ride plot, Standoff by Patricia Bradley is a must read. When Brooke’s father is found dead on the Natchez Trace she doesn’t believe the suicide ruling. Determined to investigate, Brook soon finds herself in a killer’s crosshairs. But even as the case becomes more deadly, her heart keeps turning to Luke Fereday - a man who she’s certain knows more about her father’s death than he wants her to believe. Standoff is definitely one suspense fans won’t want to miss!

This is the first book I’ve read by Patricia Bradley but it won’t be my last. I was never able to figure out who the bad person was. Love that it was so suspenseful. Also loved that there were no swear words. Can’t wait to read book number two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small town with a big crime problem
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2023

Patricia Bradley's Natchez Trace mystery blends nature's wonders with contemporary danger as the Trace becomes a pipeline for illicit drugs. Bradley perfectly captures the small town spirit where everyone knows (too much) about everyone's business, but balances that with the caring and love that surround the main characters in crisis.

Park Ranger Brooke has just joined the law enforcement branch when her cop dad is murdered. Plenty of suspects in the murder of Brooke's father keep the reader guessing. Someone in law enforcement is corrupt and each has compelling, understandable reasons to need dirty money.

The triangle with Brooke, her high school love Luke, and wealthy successful Jeremy adds romantic interest spiced with plenty of conflict.

An enjoyable, well-written story with likable characters struggling with doubts, guilt, and secrets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic suspense!

I can't believe this was my first time reading a Patricia Bradley book. I'm definitely gonna have to check out more from her. This one was so good! It had everything I look for in a romantic suspense. It was impossible to put down and full of great characters, lots of suspense, an intriguing mystery, sweet romance, and an inspirational message.

This pulled me right in and didn't let go until the very end. There were a lot of characters and there was a lot going on, so I was a little concerned that I'd be lost. But no worries. It wasn't long at all before I had everything straight.

There were quite a few suspects, and I kept going back and forth on who I thought the guilty party was. I was still guessing right up to the reveal. Each person had a strong motive, so I was never one hundred percent sure who it would be. I love when a mystery can keep me guessing like that.

If you're a fan of this genre, I highly recommend checking this book out. I'm excited to pick up a copy of the second one!

Luke Fereday is working undercover to take down a drug ring. Brooke Danvers is ready to be sworn in as a National Park Service law enforcement ranger, proudly following in her father's footsteps when he is murdered. The death of John Danvers is officially declared a suicide, but Brooke, Luke, and others who knew him disagree. Luke is in danger of blowing his cover by protecting Brooke. He had left Natchez fifteen years ago without saying goodbye to her, but being with her now awakened his former attraction to her. Brooke doesn't entirely trust Luke. She's been told he's a bartender now, but his actions awaken her suspicions. And his presence breaks open the barriers she has in place to protect her heart. She's being romanced by Mississippi State Senator Jeremy Steele. Which member of the Natchez police force or National Park Service Rangers is helping the drug dealers? Plenty of suspense in a well-crafted novel, I enjoyed reading Standoff, and had to keep turning the pages to find out "who-done-it" and who gets the girl.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Read!

Patricia Bradley has done it again. In Standoff, the first book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers Series, she hooks you on relatable characters mixed up in dire circumstances, leaving you turning pages at all hours to find out what happens. If you like romance, this book has it in spades, such that I found myself begging my favorites to just tell each other already! She does an excellent job of keeping the story focused on the main characters, but introducing enough about a few others to make you want to learn their stories in the next novels. Not to mention that her research is excellent—I wouldn’t’ be surprised to discover she had once been a park ranger. And of course, the encouraging faith message she weaves into the story is one we can all use. It’s a fantastic read that I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tension Suspense and Twists
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020
Verified Purchase
The first book in The Natchez Trace Park Rangers is a book filled with suspense, tension, lots of twists and of course, Romance. The Author will keep you guessing until the end on who the bad guy is. The romantic aspect of the book is well done and not overly gushy. The two main characters, Brooke and Luke, are very likable and I found myself hoping against hope that they would survive and get together. The book also has lots of information on the Mississippi location where the story takes place. I can’t quite agree with the storyline on the legalization of marijuana and it’s benefits for people with seizures and cancer. But all in all a great book that I enjoyed tremendously.
