Book description:
I've loved twice and lost both times. I never expected it to find me again, or the trouble that followed.
Four years ago, I was running for my life with my wife and son. Now I have a new face, a new name, and a new home. But I'm raising my child alone.
After losing my wife in a tragic accident, I transferred to the Southern Knights in an attempt to escape a broken heart. I didn't expect to run into someone from my past—the first woman to ever break it.
Faith Conway, my DEA partner before I went undercover to infiltrate a drug cartel in Colombia, made it clear she wouldn't wait for me. She chose her career over love... over me.
Even though she doesn't recognize me now, I remember her—the good with the bad; the love and the heartbreak.
Our reunion is anything but smooth, and working together again is proving to be more difficult than I ever imagined. There's tension and unresolved history between us, yet I can't deny a lingering affection that I fight against. It's a battle I'm not sure I can win.
Still, old instincts kick in when she's kidnapped—and I don't hesitate to step in.
As we work to discover the truth and return safely, we're forced to confront what we left behind.
And what still might be possible.
Together, we face danger, uncover buried secrets, and discover that sometimes starting over means going back to where it all began. To finding faith.
A faith I'd thought I'd lost.
My review:
This author was one who surprised me. I ran across her suspense series Shining Knights Protectors Series, and no offense to the author.....they just didn't grab me. But they sounded like the kind of books I like, so I started reading them, and loved that series.
This is a spin-off of that series with new characters along with some characters from the other series.
It is different from a lot of books of this kind, as in it is the male character who is in danger and is in hiding. Jaxon is a former DEA agent. Widower with a six year old son and a new face and name, he is part of the Southern Knight Protectors.
As with her other books I have read, the author wrote this in the first person point of view, switching back and forth between Jaxon and Faith, always indicating which one, and most of the time every other chapter. I am not a fan of 1st POV, but I do like that kind of writing.
Jaxon and Faith were both great and likable characters. They had dated before he married his wife, and she has no idea who he is when the book starts.
I love the title of the book. It has a dual meaning. Jaxson has to find Faith the woman, in more than one way. He also has to find his faith in God that he lost along the way, so yes...the author does not shy away from the Bible and Christian content in this book.
In my not so humble opinion, this is the author's best book so far. Loved the cover, the title, the characters, the Christian message, and the non stop suspense throughout the book. And of course, I loved the ending.
My only complaint: the book ended kind of abruptly, setting up the next book. I tried to click to the next page, and discovered that was it. But other than that, this was an amazing story of love and redemption among suspense and betrayal. I am already looking forward to more in this series. Though this book will be difficult to top.
Special thanks to the author for an advance e-book copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
