An infant on his doorstep…and enemies closing in.

Liam Knight’s solitary plans for Christmas Eve fall apart when he discovers a baby left outside his cabin — and bloody footprints leading to his injured pen pal. Suffering from PTSD, the former navy SEAL thins he’s the wrong choice to protect Ashlyn Sutton and her infant niece. But with contract killers on their trail, he must overcome his fear…and stop the criminal behind the threats.

My Review:

published in 2022

Whoa — intense from the very first page — both in the suspense and emotionally for both hero and heroine. But it’s Liam’s struggles that really touched me. He feels irrevocably broken and unworthy of the kind of future he once dreamed about. In some ways, Ashlyn was the shadow of a dream, a ‘what if’ things were different. 

They haven’t met in person, but Ashlyn has been corresponding with Liam for three years while he served overseas. The two have shared a lot about their pasts and their hopes for the future but never dreamed they’d actually meet under the kind of circumstances that has Ashlyn running for her life, and Liam worried he’d fail her.

The dynamics in this romance kept me on edge right to the very end. It doesn’t pan out the way most Love Inspired Suspense romances do, and I appreciated the difference. (No worries, there’s still a HEA) For all that they’ve never met, Liam and Ashlyn know a lot about each other so there’s this wonderful mix of awkward getting-to-know-you-in-person vibe meshed with an I-know-some-of-your-secrets vibe. Made for an emotional roller coaster of a read.

Then there’s sweet little Emory, Ashlyn’s innocent niece who is caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous enemy. Pulled at my heartstrings all the more! Loved the edginess of the suspense married with the emotional conflict within the characters — especially Liam. Riveting!

A hidden identity exposed…and murderers on the hunt…

Rachel Bright’s time hiding in a small town comes to a crashing halt when her witness protection location is compromised. Now to evade her serial killer ex-husband after his surprise release from prison, she must go on the run with US marshal Kyle Reid. But with a bounty on her head and determined contract killers on her tail, every move could be their last.

My Review:

Equal parts intense and emotional with enough hair-raising to…well, make your hair stand up on end. 🙂 Some beautiful descriptive passages as well, along with multi-faceted characters that keep a reader on edge with every new revelation.

I particularly appreciated the way the author included fascinating bits of Emergency Medicine (the author is an ER nurse) and the intricacies of the WITSEC programme. It all added an extra dimension to this romantic suspense.

And I love our take-charge heroine! Rachel has been through a horrific ordeal that’s necessitated going into hiding. She’s reinvented herself, from the inside out, leaving her victim persona behind. If only the past would stay in the past! Her resiliency, the way she leans on the Lord and her courage in the face of adversity are all admirable traits that I found so appealing. And so does Kyle. Only there’s all kinds of complications — like keeping the witness alive!

A plot full of twists and turns that kept me engaged up to the very last page.
