Loved the fast pace and premise of this novel! The suspense kept me entertained and the plot was great. I found the chemistry lacking for the romance, I had a hard time fitting the two characters together romantically, but enjoyed them individually. Overall, a great read!

Her Every Move starts with a bang... literally... and doesn't stop until the very end. In this new romantic suspense from Kelly Irvin, we meet Jackie Santoro as she is attending an event she had planned for the library where she works as a librarian and event coordinator. When a bomb goes off during the event, Detective Avery Wick suspects that Jackie herself may be the culprit. With the threat of more violence to come, she has to prove her innocence. What follows is an action packed story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats... with some great romance thrown in too, of course.
When I say this one started off with a bang, I really mean it. It was one of those moments that caught me as a reader off guard just as much as it caught the characters too. That unpredictability carried on throughout the story. What seemed like a quiet moment would suddenly change. It kept me guessing what might happen next and when. There was a lot of suspicion thrown in many directions, and just when you thought you had it figured out, something else would happen to clear your suspect. It truly kept me guessing all the way up to the big reveal... and a rather surprising one I must say.
I must admit that I didn't care for Avery's character at first... and honestly, even in the end he still wasn't my favorite romance novel hero... but he did come to grow on me anyway. I do almost wish I had a little more time to get to know him, but I enjoyed the romance nonetheless. I did find that it took more of a backseat in this story than some others in the genre, with the suspense really taking center stage.
I've yet to read a book by Kelly Irvin that I haven't enjoyed, and this was no exception. Fans of Christian romantic suspense are certainly going to want to check it out.
**Complimentary copy received for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The story and the twists were good, but there were odd religious references that didn't really fit for me. And there were parts of the romance that were nice, but when she bought him "The Call of the Wild" (which I disliked) as a way to train him to read for enjoyment, it totally lost me.

A bomber is attacking San Antonio’s government officials during large events. Jackie, the female protagonist, is a well known librarian who happens to be the daughter of a man facing white collar crimes, that ended up committing suicide.
The detective on the case initially suspects that Jackie has something to do with the bombings to seek revenge over her father.
Through the course of events he becomes smitten with her and seems to not be able to set boundaries. Is Jackie the one who is bombing the tourist attraction spots? How can he find out and how will it end?
This is the first Christian suspense/mystery novel I have read. It was very refreshing to hear words like be blessed, and God be with you and prayer in a book where people had lost their lives. It rang true to me.
Thanks #netgalley and #hereverymove for the gifted copy.

I received a copy of Her Every Move in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Her Every Move is a thrilling mystery written by Kelly Irvin, one that is infused with both romantic suspense and Christian Fiction.
There are times when it feels like the hits just keep on coming. Jackie Santoro is the prime suspect in a bombing – as it's believed she's attempting to avenge the suicide of her father. She knows of her innocence, but it's going to take more work to convince everyone else of that fact.
Especially as she's forced to continue with her plans of attending the Caterina Ball, another likely target for whoever is really behind these attacks. Will her actions help to exonerate her, or put her further into harm's way?
“Adrenaline pumped through Jackie's veins and left a metallic taste in the back of her throat.”
Her Every Move is very much a quick and thrilling read. It's one of those books that will happily entertain you on a cold and snowy day (speaking from personal experience here). This is a book that has a little bit of everything.
It blends together thriller and mystery elements, Christian fiction, and romantic suspense fairly flawlessly. The end result is an entertaining read, one that doesn't delve too deeply in any one direction. But instead sits comfortably in the center of it all.
One of the things I really enjoyed while reading Her Every Move is how hard it was to suss out who really did the crime. Not because they were visible characters – but because there were so many viable options introduced along the way. It made for a surprisingly complex mystery.
If you're looking for a realistic mystery novel, this isn't the book for you. However, if you're looking for something suspenseful, with a dash of romance, then the odds are good that this is a novel you'll enjoy.
