A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Dead Reckoning - Ronie Kendig

This book was basically a James Bond film Christian style.  Action packed, romantic encounters, Green Berets, Navy SEALS, CIA, bombs,...wow.

Shiloh has been trying to avoid her father and anything related to covert operations since she blames her father's involvement for the death of her mother.  She has taken up underwater archaeology thinking it will be a safe way to blend into a normal life.  Not quite...

Death during her dive leads her into danger in India.  Enter Reece Jaxon, who is determined to keep her safe.  He's lost one person he cared about in the past and he's not planning on repeating his mistakes no matter what he has to give up, even his heart.

I had problems putting this book down.  I was drawn to the characters and the twists and turns.  I researched the author and she has a series called "Discarded Heroes."  After reading the blurbs, it seems that the three books are based on former military men who come home and attempt to adjust or just can't stay out of trouble.  I think I'm going to put them on my watch list, this author seems knowledgable and I really enjoyed Dead Reckoning.  Good Book!
