“Family, of all people, should have your back.”
Come to Jeopardy Falls, a small ranching, lately turned tourist town of five hundred, and receive a warm welcome to Second Chances Ranch. The MacLeod family will be sure to treat you to an adventurous read and show you the lengths they’ll go to to protect themselves and others.
Brothers, Christian O’Brady and Deckard MacLeod, are owners of a private investigation firm, MacLeod Investigation and Security, Inc. While Deckard provides the investigative skills, his brother provides the security system analysis. The tension increases as the brothers are called in to investigate a friend’s art gallery which has been looted. As the suspects are identified, notes in the form of old poker riddles start appearing on the investigative team vehicles. Before long, it’s not just commercial security at risk - the team’s personal security is in danger. Who are these thieves? Why are they targeting the MacLeods?
Miranda ‘Andi’ Forester, a former FBI agent, now insurance investigator with Ambrose Global arrives in Jeopardy Falls on assignment. Her past ‘mistake’ now haunts her and she believes it’s connected to her newest case. When she invites her former colleague, Harper Grace, a forensic botanist with the Albuquerque crime lab, to clear her name and help with Andi’s current art gallery heist investigation, the two learn to work alongside the MacLeod brothers to solve the case.
Although it took me a while to get all the characters straight, I really enjoyed this story. It was a great mixture of adventure, romance, and faith. I appreciated the clean read and have added this new-to-me author to my auto-read list. Pettrey’s ability to engage her readers, provide unpredictable twists, and write simmering romantic tension is fantastic. Her characters are wonderful, the mystery is compelling, and the multiple POVs absolutely add to the enjoyment of this suspense story. This is a wonderful start to the Jeopardy Falls series and I can’t wait to read more about the MacLeod family.

Yay, 4 stars!
I really enjoyed this! We follow an art heist that turned deadly and the PI and Insurance Investigator assigned to the crimes. Christian and Andi. Ugh I loved them.
Christian was such a solid rock of a man and I immediately liked him as a character. When he meets Andi, his kindness and compassion towards her was so endearing. He is definitely added to my favourite heroes list.
I found Andi relatable and sweet. She was a great partner for Christian and I just swooned over their romance!
The mystery was good but definitely did not stand out compared to the romance for me.
Art heists don't interest me, but watching Christian and Andi spend time together trying to solve them, was still fun. I also loved the setting of the farm! Christian and his siblings have some acreage with 2 homes on it and I liked whenever they spent time there.
The siblings were great as well! I can see we'll have 2 other couples to follow in the next books and I will definitely be reading them. We got quite a bit a scenes in their perspectives enough to pick up on that romance brewing and their individual personalities. I really like what I saw there.
Again, the romance made me swoon and it totally won the book for me. If not for the bit a uninteresting art heist talk, I would have given this 5 stars.
Oh, one last thing: we also got chapters in the bad guys' perspectives and that brought the suspense factor way up! I liked it.
Definitely recommend this and I am so happy to like another book by Dani Pettrey!

Dani Pettrey is one of my favorite authors in Christian suspense. I’ve read her books for a long time and always look forward to her new releases. I believe this may be my favorite book of hers. Christian and AndI are thrown together to solve a string of art heists. The villains continue to taunt them and escalate. At the same time, Christian’s brother and Harper start looking into another older case, that may have been resolved inaccurately. There are other investigators involved and they are all close. Many hair raising moments. Several red herrings for the investigators. This is set in the Southwest. I loved the light romance and faith of the characters. Outstanding narration. Highly recommend.

One Wrong Move completely sucked me in! It has all the makings of a great romantic suspense: intriguing/cutthroat criminals, riddles, art gallery heists, endearing yet complex characters, edge of your seat suspense, sizzling but clean romance, and a touch of faith. I was completely invested in the romances, figuring out the mysteries, and seeing the bad guys get their dues.
Miranda “Andi” Forester was a talented FBI forensic analyst until an allegation of mishandling evidence destroyed her career. She insists she’s innocent, but with no evidence to back up her claims, she was forced to leave and become an insurance fraud investigator. Her latest case involves an art theft at a pricey gallery in New Mexico. While investigating, she meets Christian O’Brady, a security expert who designed the security system for the gallery. Is he responsible for the thefts, or is there someone out to entrap him? Then there are the mysterious riddles Andi begins receiving.
It’s a race against time as more galleries are robbed and their lives are constantly threatened as Andi’s past and her current investigation collide. With her growing feelings and attraction to Christian, can she trust him despite his sordid past? Will they survive whoever is out to get them?
Along with Andi and Christian are Christian’s brother, private investigator Deckard MacLeod, and Andi’s best friend Harper, who’s a forensic botanist. These two are assisting in investigating the art theft as well as the past allegations against Andi. Just like Andi and Christian, Deckard & Harper have a spark between them, but Deckard’s troubled past and Harper’s upcoming overseas mission seem to make a relationship between them impossible. As they all work to uncover the truth, they must rely on each other to survive.
I literally read this book in a day! It was so hard to put down. There’s a whole slew of characters to keep track of, but I found as the story progressed, it became easier to distinguish between them. I loved how both romances developed. While Christian’s and Andi’s relationship was the main focus, I can’t wait to see what’ll happen between Deck & Harper.
The suspense was intense with one action filled sequence after another. There are several bad guys and I enjoyed trying to figure out who did what and put all the puzzle pieces together. I loved the MacLeod ranch and meeting Riley and Greyson. I also enjoyed the bits of humor and faith interspersed between all the action.
Definitely a must read that’s impossible to put down! Highly recommend to Christian romantic suspense fans. Looking forward to the next book in the series. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided.
4.5 stars raised to 5.

This was an excellent read. I finished it one day.
Great characters and a fantabulous plot. I was invested from page one.
I love that this book has love, faith and keeps you in suspense throughout the whole novel.
The faith part is my favorite part of the story. I liked how each character turned to God for help.
I thought Andi was done wrong. But then I guess there'd be no story. It was all done very well and I liked the fast action too.
Lots of twists and turns that will keep u guessing. I figured it out from the get go but I still wanted to finish it.
This story had a satisfying ending that left my heart feeling full and happy.
This author always does. When you get one of her books you know you're getting a treat.
Christian was my favorite character. I liked that he believed Andi right off the bat and did his best for her. That's all I'm going to say.
I just wanted to mention that I didn't like Tad much. He made want to scream sometimes with his sneakiness. Ugh!
I also liked the cover. It makes you ask yourself what's really going on in this story. Very well written. I loved every minute of it.
5 stars! Wish I could give it more.

I thoroughly enjoyed One Wrong Move from start to finish. It was a great introduction to the new Jeopardy Falls series, with a likeable cast of characters that the reader gets to know well in this novel.
I was happily surprised that there were actually two cases that needed solving in the story. The main plot followed Andi and Christian as they worked to uncover who was behind a string of art gallery heists. Investigations, dangerous attacks on their lives, and a captivating southwest setting made for an intriguing story. Throughout it all, the author wove in a believable romance that developed between Christian and Andi which was packed with many swoony moments.
The side plot involved the possible clearing of Andi’s name and an investigation into who could have framed her and cost her the career that she was forced to leave in the FBI. It was great to see Christian’s brother, Deckard, work with Andi’s friend, Harper, to dig into the events that so changed Andi’s life.
The author always does a great job of weaving in beautiful moments that show the characters’ reliance on God and this book remained true to that, as well. I’m excited to read the future books that will come out in this series. Christian and his siblings have interesting back stories and it will be fun to see them find their own happily ever afters.

One Wrong Move was a fast-paced thriller, and I loved the wild ride! Especially after having just finished reading another thriller that was less than thrilling, this was a great change of pace! The author did a great job of balancing out dialogue and action and making it feel seamless. If you enjoy thrillers that have Christian themes, clean romance, and plot twists, then One Wrong Move might be right up your alley :)
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an eARC of One Wrong Move. A positive review was not required, only my honest opinion. All thoughts are expressly my own.

4.5⭐This book is full of suspenseful action scenes with twists that will keep you guessing. A total mixture of adventure, mystery, faith, and romance. It is Beautifully written.
Christian was born into a family of con artists who led him into a life of crime at a young age. However, he has since turned over a new leaf and become one of the leading security experts in the country. When a series of art heists occur at a gallery that Christian had previously secured, he teams up with Andi Forester, an FBI forensic analyst. Unfortunately, one of Andi's colleagues has ruined her reputation by accusing her of mishandling evidence, putting a halt to her career. Christian and Andi must work together to catch the perpetrator, but the thief is not finished playing his game. They are running out of time to catch him.
I really enjoyed reading the story. The characters were likable and the dialogue was witty and clean. The romance between Christian and Andi was swoon-worthy and I appreciated the action and fast-paced in the story. Although I prefer romance over suspense, I found the overall story to be engaging. Christian was the perfect hero, strong and kind, and exactly what Andi needed after the betrayal from her ex-fiancé.

Title: One Wrong Move (Jeopardy Falls Book #1)
Author: Dani Pettrey
Rating: ★★★★★
Dani Pettrey's "One Wrong Move" is a gripping addition to the Christian romantic suspense genre, reminiscent of the compelling family dynamics that first drew me to her Alaskan Courage series. In this novel, the intricate relationships between Christian O'Brady, his sister Riley, and his brother Deckard are masterfully portrayed, echoing the beloved familial bonds that Pettrey is known for.
The dual narrative of the art theft case and the re-investigation of the FBI fiasco that ended Andi's career is well executed. This parallel plot structure kept me thoroughly engaged, as I eagerly followed the twists and turns of each storyline. Pettrey's rich and vivid descriptions of Arizona not only bring the setting to life but also add a sense of wanderlust, making me long to explore the Southwest.
Deckard's choice to give Andi the benefit of the doubt is a highlight of the story, reflecting the themes of forgiveness and trust that are central to the novel. These Christian themes, particularly the emphasis on being a new creation in Christ and entrusting our futures to God, are woven seamlessly into the narrative, enriching the story without overwhelming it.
For those who enjoy the works of Elizabeth Goddard, Lisa Harris, and Patricia Bradley, "One Wrong Move" is a standout choice. Pettrey has once again delivered a story that is not just a thrilling ride but also a moving exploration of faith, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

Wowza, Dani Pettrey has penned another winner that is chock full of adrenaline-pumping suspense, toe-curling romance, and a soul-stirring faith story!
I absolutely loved Andi and Christian, they are such a great couple and it is a joy to watch them fall in love!
This author does an incredible of crafting settings that become a character in the story. Whenever I read a Dani Pettrey book I feel like I’ve gone on vacation to the setting because it is written so vividly, and this book is no exception! I love a small town setting and Jeopardy Falls has quickly become a favorite!
The redemption story in One Wrong Move is absolutely beautiful and just might make you tear up! Dani Pettrey’s books are a master class in how to write realistic faith woven organically into the storyline, so so good!
This author’s books are fast-paced and I’m always perched at the edge of my seat while I fly through the pages, but conversely there is also a relaxing quality to her books that makes me like I’m chilling in a hammock or some other comfy spot, and these are only two of a billion reasons why I love her books so much!
Sibling series are my absolute fave! I’m already obsessed with the MacLeod family, and cannot wait for book 2!
I’ve read everything this author has published and One Wrong Move is one of my favorites by her! I wish I could rate it higher than five stars!
I seriously absolutely adored every second I spent reading this book and most highly recommend it. If you only read one romantic suspense book this year, read this one, you won’t regret it!

Wow, what a great romantic suspense by Dani Pettrey. I loved her Alaskan Courage series, but I hadn't read anything by her since then, which was about three years ago . When I saw One Wrong Move on the "new inspirational fiction" shelf at my small rural library, I had to grab it up. I actually have other books I should be reading, but once I opened it to check it out, I could NOT put it down. I love when a book grabs me from page one and just keeps going.
This is a story about second chances. We see the story from multiple points of view, both the good guys and the bad guys.
Christian O'Brady is a former con-artist/thief, raised that way by his parents, and he continued his life of crime until turning his life around thanks to Jesus. He's now involved in installing security systems and finds himself called in to figure out how the crooks in a current string of heists has gotten past his security in art galleries. Of course, he himself is a suspect because of installing the security systems, and because of his background.
He teams up with Andi Forester, an insurance investigator who used to be with the FBI, but she was accused of royally botching some evidence.
They join with Christian's siblings Deckard and Riley, Andi’s best friend Harper, and Greyson who used to own the P.I. business, to not only track down these art thieves, but also to clear Andi’s name.
Had to wonder throughout the book whether the two cases were connected or not.
There was great suspense, and there were twists and our protagonists were in peril multiple times. The author knows how to get her readers on the edge of their seats and get the blood pumping, that's for sure. I love how the story unfolded and how everything came together. And I loved seeing Christian and Andi's relationship evolve. Plus there were a couple other maybe-relationships brewing. Knowing this was the first book of a series makes me hope we'll see more of these same main characters and get to see relationships grow. This is a wonderful book and one I highly recommend. And now I need to get my hands on more of her books.

Reading a novel by Dani Letter is like this:
Imagine you've purchased a thousand piece puzzle, and it's a complicated one. You open the box and begin, slowly making progress until you have a gorgeous, complete picture that takes your breath away.
That, my friend, is what it's like to devour a book by Pettrey.
She is a master puzzle builder, taking the tiniest bits and patiently crafting until the end, and it literally took my breath away.
Because I was holding it in as I raced through the final chapters!
The beginning seemed a little slow, but I enjoyed meeting the new characters in Jeopardy Falls (don't you just love that name!), and watching the story take shape.
One other thing I struggled with was names. The two main bad guys both started with C and were very similar, so I kept having to go back and check who was who.
In spite of those two concerns, that ending blew my mind, hence the five stars. So take your time, enjoy the view, and buckle up for a mind boggling conclusion you will not see coming!
My thanks to the publisher for my advance copy. My review has not been solicited, and my opinion is true and honest.

This one started a little slower than previous books that I read by the author but I still ended up enjoying this one.

One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey did not disappoint. Dani has been one of my favorite authors ever since I met her at a book conference almost 10 years ago. And One Wrong Move is just another reason she is a must read author. We have the main story line of the art heists that Christian and Andi are working. We have a secondary story of did Andi get framed while working in the FBI. And Christian’s brother, Deckard’s involvement in her work problem. Dani is such a talented author that you don't feel cheated by having two storylines going at once. You feel like you got a bonus story.
The series is going to revolve around Christian and his siblings. They are a very unique and talented group and a lot of that is based on their childhood. I am anxiously awaiting the next stories in the series. Definitely a must read.

4.5 stars
One of the things I always love so much about Dani Pettrey’s books is the team/family bond that her characters have. Whether it’s the McKennas from her Alaskan Courage series or the law enforcement friends in the Chesapeake Valor books or the CGIS team in the Coastal Guardians series, her characters have each other’s backs and have fun together, even in the midst of stressful situations. This never fails to put a smile on my face AND keep me coming back for more time with these friends/family/teams that I quickly grow to love.
Now Pettrey has introduced us to the Jeopardy Falls crew of private investigators & security specialists (made up of the Macleod siblings and a close family friend), and I can already tell that these characters will be another strong team who isn’t afraid to joke around but takes their jobs – and their relationships – very seriously. I loved the dynamics between brothers Christian & Deck as well as their kid sister Riley and their mentor Greyson (who seems to be harboring some secret feelings for Riley – oh the romantic possibilities!!!). Christian’s kindness to Andi, his belief in her innocence, and his brokenness over past mistakes endeared him to me right away. The addition of former FBI analyst-turned-insurance-investigator Andi and her best friend Harper (still with FBI forensics) is a good one that synced well with the Macleod personalities and skill sets. Andi is a great character who has been dealt a bad hand, and I really enjoyed getting to know her and watching her & Christian fall for each other. I loved Harper too (though I think Riley will end up being my favorite female of the bunch… a close call though), and I’m all a’swoon with the sparks between Harper and Deck that promise to develop into more in a future book.
On the surface, One Wrong Move seems to be about a cleverly-orchestrated art heist. And it is. But it’s also so much more than that. Their investigation is layered and multi-dimensional and it takes them down paths and to suspects that I wasn’t initially expecting. What began with art heists escalates to something even more dangerous as Christian & Andi follow their suspicions & leads around New Mexico. Along with the immediate case demanding Christian & Andi’s attention, Deck and Harper also have their own separate pursuit involving the case that ended Andi’s FBI career. I was solidly invested in both investigations, eagerly turning the pages as my mind whirred with suspects and clues, my heart staying near my throat as these characters I immediately loved had to dodge bullets and threats and other pulse-racing attempts on their lives.
Bottom Line: Swoony romance. High-stakes suspense. Compelling characters. Dani Pettrey’s newest novel One Wrong Move has all the right moves when it comes to an engaging story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Meaningful explorations of redemption and forgiveness occur naturally within the plot, adding to the character layers without feeling forced or distracting from the story. I was already excited about this series but reading One Wrong Move made me even more eager for the books to come – I can’t wait to catch up with the characters again and see what else Pettrey has up her sleeve for them to investigate.

3.5 stars Dani Petry’s One Wrong Move has a strong suspense plot, which I enjoyed. I especially like a heist story, so this book was a great fit in that regard. There is also a definite faith element woven throughout, which worked. For me, the romance plotline was too heavy, but for those who enjoy a hefty dose of romance to their suspense books, it will likely satisfy. I did find it a little hectic with many characters to keep track of: 3 siblings and their 3 sidekicks, as well as the villains. Overall, a good start to a new series!

My husband and I listened to this heart-pounding romantic suspense. It had all the things we love in a book. It had wonderful characters, nail-biting suspense, thrills, and a swoony romance. We look forward to the next installment.
4.5 stars!!

I’ve been a fan of Dani Pettrey from the first book of hers I read! I’ve always appreciated not only the heart-pounding thrillers she writes, but that her books are clean and include an element of faith and personal beliefs!
This book dives right into the suspense when several art galleries (owned by the same man) are robbed simultaneously, and Christian O’Brady is immediately on scene since he was the man who installed each of the security systems! Christian soon pairs up with Andi Forester and together they face one challenge after another trying to not only solve the case but clear their names!
It becomes very obvious very quickly that someone wants this duo off the case, and together they navigate the dangerous waters of revenge and deception!
Pettrey keeps the tension cranked up, making it impossible to put the book down. With its blend of suspense, intricate plot twists, and well-drawn characters, One Wrong Move is a gripping read that will keep you hooked until the very end.

Pettrey has the uncanny ability to set the scene so well that I am looking on a map for Jeopardy Falls! I love the characters and can’t wait for the rest of the series! One Wrong Move is a page turner with plenty of twists and turns along the way! Highly recommend!

I never hesitate to recommend a book by Dani Pettrey, unless the reader is not willing to lose a few hours of sleep. Once I start reading any book by Dani, it is nearly impossible to put down.
Christian O’Brady, a PI, and Andi, Forester, an insurance investigator, formally, FBI, both arrive at an art gallery to investigate a heist. The owner, insured for ten million dollars, owns three galleys and they all take a hit. Each has an expensive collection; two of art and jewels and the third, nearly priceless wine. The losses far exceed the amount of insurance coverage.
Christian, with a checkered past himself, spent time as a teen in juvie, however, contributes the changes in his life to his faith and trust in God. He and his siblings are in business together, with his specialty of providing top of the line security systems, as well as his status as a PI.
Andi lost her job in the FBI because of false accusations, that, at the time, were impossible to refute. As Andi and Christian team up to catch the perpetrators of the heists, several murders are also connected to the crimes. Christian brings his sibling business partners into the investigation. What a shock when Andi discovers Deckard, Christian’s brother is the very one who supported the false accusations against her, causing her to lose her job with the FBI.
Many twists and turns take the reader on a wild ride to unexpected places and unforeseen circumstances. Intriguing characters and clues even lead them across the country. When additional details emerge, Dekard teams up with Andi’s best friend, Harper, to disprove his earlier assessment of any wrongdoing by Andi.
From the first page of this gripping, captivating story, I could not turn the pages fast enough. After the last page was turned, continued to think of this riveting story.

This book was unintentionally hilarious, and I enjoyed it a lot because of that. It’s an intriguing story, but I didn’t realize that it’s also written by a decidedly Christian author… so some of it feels incredibly cheesy.
My biggest issue with it is that, towards the end, two of the main characters SWIM WHILE WEARING THEIR GUNS and then they get on the boat and pull their guns like they’d be functioning??? The author clearly doesn’t know that much about firearms, also evidenced by the fact that the MCs at one point have a comms system on and are firing rifles and still able to talk to each other. Yeah, there’s high tech that allows for that, but I find it unlikely that these characters would have the money for that. Whatever. Enjoyable but simple writing, and definitely not without its issues.

Intriguing and suspenseful, I was quickly drawn into this engaging adventure that balances romance and relationships with an action-packed plot.
I liked how Christian and Andi both were able to use negative things in their pasts for good, getting to know each other and bonding over faith. I liked their interaction, banter, and seeing their friendship grow. It was also great seeing the whole team work together, and get to know their friends through the sub-plots.
All around this was an enjoyable read, great character development, faith, interaction, a mystery that kept me guessing, and with a full cast of characters that I can't wait to revisit!

I think my favorite thing about this very enjoyable Christian suspense novel is the strong, endearing cast of characters. Dani Pettrey weaves intrigue, faith, redemption and growing relationships smoothly into a plot that twists and turns as it moves toward resolution of two different cases in this fast paced story. The book captured my attention very quickly and the action and suspense held it easily. I look forward to more books in this series with these great characters.

The characters are lovely. The story is engaging.
It may not be everyone’s preference because Christian theme, but nothing is forced. It is natural and endearing the way the story plays out and I loved it.

Wow, this story starts off with a bang and keeps your hanging on until the very end! I love that this is the start of a new series. I think this is the best book that this author has written since her Alaska series. I love the setting and I am eager to see where the next book takes us. The characters in this story have a lot of layers and I really enjoyed getting to know each of them. The suspense and mystery is fantastic and it is all a tangled mess of murder and robbery and past history. I loved it! There is a lot happening and as a reader you really have to pay attention because there are a lot of details and moving parts that conclude in the end. The romance I honestly could have done without or perhaps just not as much. It isn't over the top it was just kind of there and I thought it happened way too fast. All that to say that this is a great read and kept me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend!
Five Stars.
