My Review

If you're looking for equal parts romance and suspense, this book may be for you. Shauna and her coworkers/friends are very gutsy, formidable, analytical type females so I enjoyed the departure from the norm in that way for a romance novel. The faith thread was clear throughout the book. The suspense had a good surprise ending and plenty of puzzle pieces along the way. The hero was endearing and down to earth. The romance was sweet and slow blossoming. The way the chapters switched to first person between Shauna and Christopher I found to be a bit confusing, and the action seemed a little too sudden and awkward at times. The faith message also seemed inserted a little awkwardly. I felt like the romance was a little too big a part of the story and got in the way a little of the suspense. Overall, I recommend this one for those looking for a faith-filled clean romance that has a thread of suspense.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.
