Ambush by Colleen CobleMy rating: 💛💛💛💛💛
Rating 4.75
This was a fast pace and thrilling romantic suspense. I was thoroughly kept engaged and in suspense reminded me of why I love this author’s books.
The danger around the sanctuary and the attacks felt realistic. I did guess one culprit was correct early on, but the final reveal and events I didn't see coming. I loved the setting in the sanctuary with all the dangerous animals which increased the danger. I felt the author got the nature of the animals correct and on par with their nature, especially the Hyenas.
The second chance story for the main characters involved forgiveness, trust and faith.
The highlight for me was the faith of the two small boys. They just trusted and believed in God’s protection and provision and the way they explained the North Star and how it was brought back to the Bible being our North Star was a really strong message!
Looking forward to the next book in the series, since there was a mystery not yet resolved in this book.

About the book:
"Ambush is electric--the perfect blend of romance, suspense, and characters you swear are real. With a deadly mystery, past trauma, and future hope, Ambush is just one more proof of Coble at the top of her game." --Tosca Lee, New York Times bestselling author
The first book in the riveting Sanctuary Series from USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble, where a young woman will do anything to uncover the truth of her parents' murder--even work alongside the man who once broke her heart. Perfect for fans of Allison Brennan and Dani Pettrey.
Paradise Alden's childhood in Nova Cambridge, Alabama, was idyllic until the night her parents were murdered. Since then, life has left her scarred. The abuse she suffered in the foster care system, her first love's betrayal, and the jaguar attack that nearly destroyed her career have led to an unshakable distrust--in men, in God, and maybe in even in herself.
After fifteen years, returning to her hometown is a last resort to finding her life again. She's hoping the wildlife refuge where she's accepted a veterinarian job will be the perfect place to heal from her recent traumas and unlock her memories about the night her parents died. But the day she arrives at The Sanctuary, a body is discovered on the grounds. And soon, a series of deadly events threatens not only her future, but the man who, despite all odds, still makes her pulse stutter. Arson, a shooting, a break-in, and multiple instances of animals being freed from their enclosures all point back to him, but Paradise knows Blake Lawson isn't responsible. Not the man who has been helping his mother manage The Sanctuary these past six months and care for his stepbrothers in the wake of their father's death . . . even if his betrayal years ago cost her everything.
Someone dangerous is lurking beneath the town's moss-draped trees, and Paradise refuses to let another murderer disappear into the shadows.
Colleen Coble's Ambush is just what her readers want--edge-of-your-seat suspense perfectly balanced with closed-door romance. The intricacies of a wild-animal sanctuary, sabotage, secrets that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden, and the resurrection of first love make this a compelling story you won't want to miss.
Also in The Sanctuary Prowl (book #2, available November 2025) and Descent (book #3; available July 2026).
Available now from Fragile Designs, and from Colleen Coble and Rick What We Hide and I Think I Was Murdered.
All include discussion questions that are perfect for book clubs.
