Deadly Noel (Strong Women, Extraordinary Situations Book 5) 
Published November 30th 2015  
5 Stars

Margaret Daley brings us the fifth installment in the Strong Women, Extraordinary Situations series, Deadly Noel. Even though this is story is part of a series each is a stand alone story. This book is a romantic suspense with a plot that will keep your turning the pages until the end.  
I must admit I loved this book.   
We are introduced to Kira Davis and her character captivated me from page one.  She ended a bad relationship and moved home to Pinecrest to become the assistant district attorney.  9 months ago she she prosecuted Gabriel Michaels for the murder of his ex-wife, but recently important factors are brought to the surface which points to his innocence.  Kira has mixed emotions because she was close to the victim, but also because she doesn't like the thought that she put an innocent man in prison.  Knowing that words will not change anything, but wanting what is right Kira drives out to the Michaels' farm to appologize.  
Gabriel was released from prison and returned to an almost bankrupt farm to raise his daughter.  He's full of anger and just wants to be left alone.  When shots are fired on his land and a friend goes missing he learns to have peace then he must help solve a crime.  
I loved both characters!
They were strong and complex with very real issues.  
Kira is a person who wants to right a wrong, but at the same time understands that it will take a lot to make things right.  Yet, she still tries.  Gabriel is in the awkward position of helping solve a crime he was convicted of and that begins with forgiveness.  The author weaves words together that literally bring the setting and characters to life.  This plot is one that will kept me turning pages until the end.  
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good suspense.  
I look forward to the next book, Deadly Dose, which is set to be released in 2016.    

*I received this book from the author for an honest opinion without bias or outside influence.  All thoughts or opinions are my own.

Margaret Daley, an award-winning author of seventy-six books, has been married for over forty years and is a firm believer in romance and love. When she isn’t traveling, she’s writing love stories, often with a suspense thread and corralling her three cats that think they rule her household.

Margaret has been writing for over 35 years. She started writing in the late 1970s because she wanted to see if she could put a whole story down on paper. That book is still in the drawer and will never see the light of day. But she was able to finish a book, which was her goal.

She decided after that to get some help, and joined a writers' roundtable where she met once a week with some fellow writers who went over each other's work. She sold her first book in the early 1980s and has been selling ever since. She loves to tell a story. When she was a little girl she made up stories while playing with her dolls. On long trips with her family she would weave a story about the surrounding countryside. From those early beginnings grew a love of entertaining people with a story. She has sold nearly 5 million books worldwide with over 90 books.
