Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Sandy Lynn Forrester's Christmas holiday takes a terrifying turn when someone breaks into her home and attacks her roommate thinking it's her. But no one will protect her from her ex-husband except for her old childhood neighbor and friend, ex-cop Clay Danforth. Clay has his own problems, as he's just been set up by corrupt cops and accused of stealing drugs from the evidence locker. With their enemies working together, they'll have to stick together to survive.


My Review:
Christmas Vendetta is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the fourth book in a series but works as a stand alone. Sandy's abusive ex-husband is out to kill her for putting him in prison. Clay, a friend from her childhood whom she had a crush on, saves her but has enemies of his own among the police force. He suspected several were corrupt cops, but they framed him for theft of drugs from the evidence locker, ruining his reputation. Sandy and Clay go on the run as their enemies spread lies and attack them.

The suspense stayed high through as the action was nearly constant from beginning to end. Things wrapped up very quickly, with the bad guys acting in ways which exposed the truth, allowing the good guys to quickly straighten everything out. The main character were developed as the story progressed. They renewed their friendship from the past, recognizing how they've changed and admiring and caring about the other to the point of being romantically attracted. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting suspense.
