Prowl by Colleen Coble was such a great read! I always love the twists she brings to the best genre ever—romantic suspense—and this series, which began with Ambush, is no exception.
In this second installment, we’re thrown right back into The Sanctuary. It starts with Clara, and I just knew she was going to be trouble (as usual). I actually wish we’d seen a little more of her—though, let’s be honest, no one really likes a hyena!
Blake and Paradise are doing their best to juggle life, their animals, and their relationship when darker things begin to unfold. When Paradise proposed to Blake, I actually felt bad for her. I understood his reasoning for saying no, and I’m a bit old-school—I love when the guy makes a grand gesture. But I think he could’ve said it in a more romantic way. Give me Humphrey Bogart vibes—woo me with words! It was a tough moment, though he always finds a way to redeem himself and show how much he cares for her.
One of my favorite lines was, “Talk to God about it. That’s where real healing is found.” And another early on that stood out to me: “The whisper in his heart was a reminder she belonged to God, not Blake.” Those moments perfectly capture the heart of this series—the right mix of faith, suspense, and just the right amount of romance.
There was one small part about the will and its location that left me a little confused, but I won’t spoil anything by saying more.
Overall, Prowl is a must-read!
