A Texas Christmas by Anne Greene
This story starts out with Derrick and he is a trouble shooter on the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. He works for Alamo Oil and has many rigs to choose from. Story also follows Amber and she's now a Coastie, Coast Guard Ensign and is assigned the the area. She lives with her grandmother in town. Derrick rents the apartment upstairs at their house. When onshore Derrick helps mentor teen boys at the local church and takes classes to better himself.
Derrick has problems. Mission rig has had a death and man was holding Derrick's hard hat. Another incident is a helicopter that crashes into the waters off the rig, Derrick was on board also. There are many other phone calls to the authorities about the rig that need to be investigated.
What I love about this book is that I and my spouse also can read it and get something different out of it. There's a bit of romance, mentoring, religion, the local church, Christmas, mysteries and deaths, and so many more incidents that leave others injured.
learning more about the process on the rig and the layout intrigued me. I've not read much about the Coast Guard although I live on an island and they protect us, so it was great to learn about what they do on their end. Love that all ages were in this story, teens, adults and elderly. Really enjoyed this read.
I received a copy of this book from the author. The review is my honest opinion.
