Book description:
Caught in a mountain blizzard…
with a child to protect.
After Marielle Coleman’s foster son witnesses his mother’s murder, he becomes a killer’s next target. Escaping into a raging Montana snowstorm, Marielle and her little boy hide at a remote camp—and unexpectedly reunite with her ex-fiancé, Graham Flynn, an undercover DEA agent. Now Graham and Marielle must put aside their distrust to save the child from dangerous pursuers. But Graham’s still hiding secrets from Marielle…ones that could tie them all to a conspiracy that will end their lives.
My review:
One of my favorite tropes in Christian fiction is reunited lovers. Years before, Graham had broken their engagement for reasons he thought best for Marielle. Towards the end of the book Graham admitted he didn't think he had fit with her because there was no long line of Christian heritage in his family as in hers. She replied that there are no grandchildren in God's family. I like that.
I also love books with kids in, and especially when that kid is in danger and in need of protection. In this story, the bad guys are after little Ian because of what and who he had witnessed during a crime. The author did an excellent job on the suspense as the bad guy chased Graham, Marielle, and Ian all over a camp.
Characters are an important part of a story, and this book had some very likable ones, bad guys aside. Graham, looking forward to some solitude, but setting that aside to protect his ex-fiancée and the little boy she is fostering. Maribelle, determined to protect little Ian, no matter what. And last, but not least, Ian.
I have read several of this author's books, but this may be my favorite of the ones I have read.
Special thanks to the author for an review copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
