My Review
5 stars
Terri Reed delivers an intense romantic suspense with great twists and turns.
It was inspiring to see both Paige and Lucas turn to God during the crises. As a US Marshal, Lucas preferred a more active assignment so when he’s assigned protective detail for Paige, her son, and her son’s medical therapy dog, he isn’t thrilled. Paige is fiercely protective of her son but must rely on Lucas’s wisdom and experience to see them to safety.
In the middle of it all, sparks fly between Paige and Lucas. I liked that the author seamlessly wove the romance into the story at just the right time and that she acknowledged emotions were heightened due to the trauma unfolding.
Including Paige’s epileptic son was a brilliant move by the author. His medical condition added to the suspense and his dog provided a wonderful element. My favorite part of the book? The ending drama. Amazing!
Fans of inspirational romantic suspense will enjoy this page-turner. Expect to lose some sleep because you won’t want to put it down!
Romance: Squeaky clean with only light kissing.
Faith: Both characters relied on God through crisis.
