My Thoughts:
This was one of those books you just don't want to put down. There was a sweetness about it, amidst the mystery and suspense. It was also one of those where you know who the bad guy is, but they don't, so you are waiting for it to play out.
The man of valor is Finn McGregor, brother to the men in the other books. He is ex-army ranger, struggling with some PTSD and a leg injury. Currently he is on vacation, alone, in a cabin in a somewhat secluding area. His neighbor Dana Lewis, has had some traumatic experiences of her own. She has chosen to remove herself from big city life for a while and get away to her grandfather's cabin by the lake for some much needed R&R and time alone.
Irene captures the essence of a peaceful place, two people who enhance each other's qualities, and adds in a touch of suspense and romance to create a captivating tale. Once the story got moving, I didn't want to quit reading. I was impressed with McGregor's talents, (he's truly portrayed as a modern day knight in shining armor) as well as, his gentle spirit. He is struggling with is relationship with God, after experiencing tragic, heartbreaking situations in the war. I also enjoyed Dana's inner strength and courage in-spite of the circumstances she had faced. I would definitely recommend this book which I received a free copy of from Revell to review. I was not required to review positively and all opinions are my own. |
