Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When her daughter is the only witness able to identify a group of bank robbers, single mom Penny Jackson knows their lives are in danger. When the FBI agent guarding them is killed, it's clear these men will do anything to keep Missy quiet—permanently. Disappearing to a small Texas town was supposed to be safe, but when the criminals track them down, police chief Caleb Harmon becomes their only hope for survival and one of the few people Penny'll trust.


My Review:
Dangerous Texas Hideout is a Christian romantic suspense. Penny will do anything to protect her daughter, who's now in danger because she's the critical witness in a bank robbery case. No matter where they went to hide, the bad guys found them. Caleb and the others in the case were busy looking for who was leaking their location and trying to protect Penny and her daughter. The suspense came from the repeated attacks on Penny and her daughter. Penny's dead husband was an abuser, so she liked that she felt safe and admired around Caleb. His mother abandoned him as a tween, so Caleb admired that Penny was so devoted to her daughter (plus Penny's pretty). One thing I didn't get was why Caleb was convinced Penny couldn't someday come back to visit him if she and her daughter went into witness protection. The girl was only in danger until the trial was over, so they could come back afterward. Caleb and Penny got married almost immedately after they stopped the attacker, so that was a pretty rushed stranger-to-married timeline.

The main characters were enagaging. Penny learned that she could trust that God is good and in control even when bad things are happening. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable romantic suspense.
