Book Review by Bree Herron
When I read Love Inspired Suspense books, I look for three key factors to making it a five star. One, it must have the heart pounding action fast! Two, characters better have amazing chemistry. Three, the christian aspect must be present and draw my heart to it.
Terri Reed has the reader grasping for air, heart pounding and left wondering what is coming next within the first chapter. I was blown away at her skill with the action setting, it was brilliant! As a NCIS , Criminal Minds, fan I felt like I was on the set of a great show. You are drawn to Leo and Truth the action they face. Leo is our main hunk, I mean guy. No, really he is a hunk and what a mind on him! I would follow directions if Leo gave them. Truth his canine companion/partner is amazing, I can only imagine the extensive research Terri did to get the job details down for these two.
Alicia Duncan is a single mom (I am in great copy with her) and doing everything right. She had her heart hurt, then became a widow. She is back in Wyoming to heal. Wyoming can be healing, when it doesn’t have 3 feet of snow, or 60 mile hour winds. Alicia is going to steal Leo’s heart while he is on the job. Now, usually I am saying “Oh, no you don’t ” to the girl characters stealing my fictional boyfriends but these two were different. Yes, I adore Leo but they worked so well and quickly together that I was officially shipping them. The love was believable, and true.
Faith is always a big play in christian books. The romance fiction is no different. I felt drawn to the ease they both had with God, it was nice to have a both characters at a relative ease with God. I love when one is struggling to find their faith, but this was a pleasant change. It wasn’t easy by no means they were struggling to survive, but God wasn’t one that they held their anger towards. That was nice.
The book was a 5 star is writing, a 5 star in characters, and a 5 star in the overall read. I couldn’t put it down. I hope you can’t either.

My human partner in crime would have to be my husband. We have always been very close – hardly seeing one without the other. Now that we are retired it’s even more so. I just can’t understand when I hear spouses saying “wWhat are they going to do with the other now that they are home together so much”. We love being together! Nothing makes us happier than spending time with our little fur-baby, Snickerdoodle. He’s a 12 year old chihuahua who really owns everything and just allows us to use it from time to time. He’s the playful instigator that keeps things lively and sets the pace. So as you can see, he is our four legged partner in crime. 🙂
