About the book:

     On the run from hired gunmen, can she find safety in Amish country?

     After overhearing an illegal weapons deal, Sophie Larson knows two things: her uncle’s a dangerous criminal…and he wants her dead. Now undercover cop Aiden Forster has no choice but to blow his cover and protect Sophie by hiding her and her deaf sister in Amish country. But with a mole in the police force, danger isn’t far behind.

My review:

     This is an amazing adrenaline rush romantic suspense novel!

     I love all three of the main characters in this book. Aiden is a rock solid protector. Both Sophie and her younger sister Celine are strong and courageous even though they are filled with well placed fear. They have a number of secondary characters come along side them to help keep them safe.

     I loved all of the details that the author gives about cochlear implants. I had heard the term but knew nothing about how they worked.

     The plot of the story is fantastic. In the first few pages the reader is thrust into it. The danger then runs throughout the book with only brief moments to build the romantic connection while we all, reader and characters, catch our breath. Then near the end of the book there is a great surprise revelation.

     I am giving this marvelous book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it. Though it is part of a series it completely stands alone.

About the book:

     An Amish witness to murder.

     Another riveting Amish Country Justice book.

     On the way to deliver a baby, Amish midwife Lizzy Miller witnesses her driver’s murder—and now someone plans to silence her. Lizzy knows better than to trust strangers, but she must depend on former Amish turned Englisch police officer Isaac Yoder. And there’s nowhere safe to hide… unless Isaac reconnects with the Amish community he left behind to protect the woman he’s falling for.

My review:

     This is an incredible romantic suspense novel!

     I love the development of both of the main characters in this story. They have each had very difficult circumstances in their pasts that have shaped who they are. Lizzy was a victim in a very frightening attack a few years before this book opens. She still struggles with many fears because of it. Isaac lost his brother in a violent attack and made life changing choices as a result. The memory of that event still drives him. I was amazed at how strong Lizzy was in this new situation after what she had already been through.

     The plot was fantastic! It kept me on the edge of my seat. I was totally invested in the outcome. 

     I talked to Isaac a lot during the second half of the book. He seemed a little dense to me and I knew what he needed to do long before he figured it out. He just didn’t want to listen to me. I get so frustrated with characters that don’t listen to me.

     I am giving this wonderful book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
