Forming a joint task force, Canada border officer Kaylin Poirier and police constable Hudson Steeves have one objective: take down a drug-smuggling ring trying to sell a new lethal product. But when the smugglers come after Kaylin and Hudson, this mission becomes more than just a job. Can they live … job. Can they live long enough to solve the case?

Darlene Turner has written a suspense novel that has all of the elements that I love: dedicated heroes, unknown villains, criminal acts that must be stopped, and non-stop action. Kaylin Poirier and Hudson Steeves are both strong characters individually and as a team they are unbeatable but it is their personal characteristics that make them so special. Hudson’s moral compass is based on his deep trust in God and Kaylin’s personal doubts help lend realism as she struggles to find and develop her own strong faith in God. Grace and forgiveness are a central theme but did I mention the romance? It’s apparent that both Kaylin and Hudson feel an undeniable attraction to each other but can they ever hope for a future together?
Border Breach is an exceptional debut novel that is filled with heartwarming scenes and surprising revelations. It is a must-read book and I certainly recommend it to all who enjoy contemporary Christian fiction and romantic suspense.
I received a copy of this book from the author but there was no obligation to write a positive review. I am voluntarily sharing my own thoughts.
Border Breach is the debut book from Darlene Turner. What a way to introduce readers to this talented new author.
Border Breach takes us to the northern border between Canada and the U.S. Canadian border officer Kaylin Poirier and Constable Hudson Steeves are paired together in a task force to stop a drug smuggling ring that crosses borders and destroys lives.
This story will keep you guessing. It will pull you in for the emotions evoked for such a devastating subject. The characters are well written. The chemistry between Kaylin and Hudson builds naturally and wonderfully.
This is definitely a book I would recommend. I hope there will be more stories in this series so we can be updated on these characters. I look forward to reading Turner’s next book.
I was provided a copy of this book from the author without expectation of a favorable review. The opinions expressed are my own.
Wowza! This book is FABULOUS!
Before I finished the first chapter I knew I was going to love this book, and love it I did!
The suspense was never ending and SOOOO good, I was totally on the edge of my seat from start to finish and couldn’t stop reading! And I have to say that I was totally shocked by the identity of one of the villains, and that doesn’t happen often because I read a lot of suspense books, well done!
This book has the perfect blend of suspense, romance, faith, and character development, and none of those elements were lacking the slightest bit!
I loved that Kaylin and Hudson knew each other prior to the start of the story, and I felt that they went from disliking each other, to caring for each other, to falling in love in a completely natural and realistic way, no insta-love here, and I loved that!
I absolutely loved getting to armchair travel and explore Canada alongside Kaylin and Hudson.
Romantic suspense is my favorite genre and I’m very picky when it comes to choosing books in this genre. I only have a handful of romantic suspense authors that are must-read favorites for me, and with Border Breach Darlene L. Turner has earned a permanent spot on that list!
I seriously loved Border Breach so much that I already want to re-read it!
I honestly can’t think of a single thing I didn’t love about this book. I will definitely be thinking about these characters for a long time to come.
Border Breach is without question one of the best Love Inspired Suspense novels I’ve ever read, and I most highly recommend it!
Okay, I’m done gushing, for now, but let me just say this: if you’re a romantic suspense fan you need this book in your life ASAP!
I received a copy of this book from the author. Which did not influence my review in any way. All thoughts are one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Really good debut. I was gripped right away and then intrigued as the body count grew. I enjoyed the main characters and the personal journeys they went on and, impressively, didn’t figure out who the baddie was until it was revealed. I’ll definitely be looking out for more by Darlene Turner.
“It didn’t matter what she had done in her life, He would always be there for her. No matter what.”
With non-stop action and gripping suspense, author Darlene L. Turner pens an intense tale of corruption and drug smuggling across the border. In Darlene L. Turner’s debut novel, Border Breach, Canadian law enforcement and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) join forces to take down a drug smuggling operation that is operating between the U.S. and Canada.
Handsome police constable Hudson Steeves and CBSA officer Kaylin Poirier are instructed to work together to stop a drug smuggling ring. Their assignment comes at a high price as they immediately become targets and attempts on their lives threaten to derail the investigation.
As the clues sprinkled throughout the novel come together to form the final piece of the puzzle, readers will be shocked at the culprit’s true identity. This novel realistically deals with topics that are relevant in today’s society, especially with the prevalent drug issues in our country.
Darlene L. Turner shares the message that God is always there for us and leaves readers filled with hope through God’s never-ending love and forgiveness. Border Breach is recommended for readers who enjoy inspirational romantic suspense. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author/publisher and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
“The waves crashed against the shoreline, reminding her of God’s peace.”
I dove right in when this book arrived in the mail and finished it in a couple of days. I’d never read about border patrol officers before, so I found that rather interesting. And I mean, look at that swoony cover. How could I resist?
Kaylin Poirier and Hudson Steeves have a lot to deal with in this romantic suspense, not only in joining forces and stopping drug smugglers but also dealing with their pasts. The last time they worked together didn’t go well. Kaylin particularly has a lot to come to terms with and you will have to read the book to see how she fares. These two characters dodge danger from page one. You never know what’s going to happen next.
I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher and my opinion is my own.
‘She needed proof of God’s existence. She just couldn’t believe in an entity who supposedly watched over her.’
In Darlene L Turner’s debut, a Canadian constable and border officer join forces to bring down a drug smuggling ring. But at every turn they are thwarted in their attempts. And threatened. Even injured. How can they hope to accomplish this task if they are being hunted down and nearly killed at every turn?
Turner has written a believable novel populated with good characters and a plot that holds the reader’s interest. Recommended.
*My thanks to the publisher and author for a prevcopy of this book. The opinion in this review is my own.
