Book description:
She broke his heart. But now, this former SEAL is her only hope of surviving what's coming.
Shortly after returning home from being held captive overseas, former Navy SEAL Silas Williamson found himself sole guardian of his four-year-old niece.
Moving to Hope Springs was supposed to be a safe haven for them both, but then she showed up. The woman who has haunted every moment of his life since they parted ways a decade ago.
Bianca Theodore has certainly suffered through her fair share of dark times. As a military trauma surgeon, she's saved more lives than she can count. However, there was one life she refused to save. And after years of hiding...those who know she's responsible have found her.
As Bianca faces down with the nightmares of her past, she turns to Silas who is haunted by his own. Together they stand a chance at surviving the coming battle, but only if they turn to the One who can bring them the peace they so desperately crave.
If you are looking for a sizzling (but not spicy!) romantic suspense, with a protective hero struggling with his faith, a talented surgeon fighting to survive, a small town that protects their own, and a team of wounded veterans turned private security officers, then Perilous Healing is for you!
My review:
I don't often do a book review on my blog for books that I purchased and was not given to me to review. But this book and series was so good, that I felt it and the author deserved an official review.
This is the fifth and last book in the series that started in February, and ends with this fifth and final book in the Coastal Hope Series.
This was truly an amazing ending to this great series. This was the author's first Christian series, and she did an excellent job.
I loved all 5 books and the characters in them, but this is by far the best of the 5. Bianca and Silas were such awesome characters with so much depth and past history that had made them practically enemies.
And the plot of this one...man. At one point the author had tossed Silas and Bianca into such a mess that I silently contemplated burning the book if they didn't get out safely. Yes, I am not forgetting the book was fiction, but what they went through, how they came through it...it was encouraging.
Last but not least, the faith element. Personal observation: My faith has been very shaky the last 8 years or so. In the book, Silas and Bianca were both far from God. She was moving in the right direction, but he was still a huge skeptic. The message of faith and the faith journey of two fictional characters really spoke to me. The author did an amazing job on bringing the Gospel out in this awesome suspense novel that kept me on the edge of my seat.
And now, truly lastly....the author introduced her readers to the Williamson brothers, the main characters from her upcoming Hunt Brothers Search and Rescue series starting in February. She made a nice segue into that series by making the 5 brothers cousins of Silas of this story.
About the author:
Jessica is an Army veteran who lives in Texas with the love of her life and their three children.
After spending nearly a decade writing spicy paranormal and fantasy romance as a USA Today bestselling author, she felt the desire to do something completely different.
She will still tell heartbreakingly beautiful stories with strong women and protective men, but this time they will also feature the joy of faith, and the importance of following God in whatever journey He sets you on.
