Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Twenty years after her mother vanished, Ally Fulton returns to Harmon Ranch—the last place she was seen—and barely makes it out alive. Someone doesn’t want Ally digging up the truth. With a target on her back, she reluctantly accepts protection from Officer Tucker Harmon. Can he keep Ally alive?


My Review:
Texas Ranch Cold Case is a Christian romantic suspense. Ally acted like a teenager with no relationship experience and little maturity. She's determined to hate all Harmons because her mother disappeared from their ranch 20 years ago. She resented that people weren't giving the case serious attention. Tucker helped her find the available information, but it happened so long ago there's not much to go on. When a recent murder appeared to be linked to the cold case, Tucker and the police turned their focus to it since it had active clues to track down. Instead of being happy that the case might finally be solved, she completely rejected Tucker for his 'betrayal.' She didn't want to see or talk with him ever again, even though his protection was the only thing keeping her alive after multiple attempts to kill her. The mystery was interesting, but Ally's immaturity didn't seem consistent since she's an otherwise responsible adult with a job as a teacher. Yet somehow she inspired Tucker's unwavering love.

Ally learned to trust God even before she got her answers, because of who God is rather than for what He gives. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this to fans of cold case mysteries.
