While Kelly struggles to win the game of cat-and-mouse, a secret family legacy is unearthed, forcing her to choose between trusting her charming literary agent or her vigilant bodyguard to keep her safe.

My Thoughts:
Secrets abound in this mystery thriller, especially when author Kelly Landon writes a best seller. Not even her usual work, this is a memoir that an older gentleman handpicked her for to tell the love story of his parents and their life's mission of saving children during WW2. Encouraged by her agent, she accepts this work only to find out later how dangerous it was to write it. But why?
We along with Kelly are thrown into this mysterious plot that has now become her life. Hidden treasure, romance, and faith all collide as Kelly is trying to stay one step ahead of a shadowy evil that seems to lurk ever closer to her. Raised by a father who trusted no one, now Kelly is beginning to understand why. But she can't do all of this one her own.
Kelly is torn between her agent and a bodyguard who is very protective of her. Who can she trust when it seems that everyone is trying to get the one thing she promised never to reveal. This was a very intriguing mystery that began decades ago and now Kelly is at the center of it. Looking forward to more from this author.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
About the Author
More from Christina
There is a certain in-between place where creatives tend to linger — a space where reality meets imagination and stories quietly begin. It’s where we observe the world as it is, then wonder how it might unfold just a little differently. That space is where my writing lives, and it’s where Best Seller was born.
Before novels, though, there was coffee. My very first “real” job as a teen was working as a barista, and I loved it. I wasn’t just making drinks — I was mixing flavors and letting my imagination wander between orders. There’s something comforting about coffee, something that invites reflection and creativity. Looking back, it makes perfect sense that it found its way into my stories.
In Best Seller, my main character Kelly Landon is a crime fiction writer with a carefully guarded heart. She’s shy, introverted, and far more comfortable with quiet moments than crowded rooms. Her love of seasonal coffee blends mirrors her inner world — thoughtful, layered, and hopeful beneath the surface. But Kelly’s heart is fragile, and without being anchored in God’s love and truth, it can be easily swayed by the promise of earthly acceptance.
Enter Declan — her outgoing literary agent with unassuming Irish charm and a way with words. Can you blame Kelly for daydreaming? For wondering if love might be possible after all?
To celebrate Best Seller, I created the Writer Girl Latte, inspired by my barista days and Kelly’s story. Cozy, creative, sweet, and just a little indulgent — because sometimes the best stories begin with a warm cup and a willing heart.
So, pour yourself something warm, settle in, and step into the mystery of Best Seller — it’s only the beginning.
And remember, Love is a Mystery!
