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 am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. 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!

Trinity (A Breed Apart #1) - Ronie Kendig

I haven't read a lot of this author's books, but what I've read I've been impressed with.  A few years back, I read Dead Reckoning and recently I read the third book in this series, Beowulf.  I was happy to get price drops on the first two in this series so I could get caught up.

Heath was injured on a mission.  Now he suffers from blackouts and headaches.  He wants to get back in the game, but it seems like God is shutting every door.  Then he gets the opportunity to go to Afghanistan and encourage the troops with his former war dog, Trinity. The dog is Heath's entire world and he's not looking for romance.  But then he meets Darci.

Darci can't believe that she's run across Trinity again.  The memory of why she was around the dog last time haunts her.  She's a spy and doesn't have the luxury of being able to get close to Heath, but her heart isn't paying attention to her head.  While on a mission, things go south and it's going to be up to Heath to help save her.

With this author, I've come to expect a story with great detail and action.  It is obvious that the author does a great deal of research before she writes and it makes for a more realistic story.  I appreciate that.  This was a great story of trust and faith.

When I reviewed Beowulf, I mentioned that it would be okay to read these out of order.  I still think the story is complete enough that you can read them out of order, but I'm not sure I still recommend it.  I can't shake the feeling that I would have enjoyed this one a little more had I read them in order.   I'm not quite sure why.  Talon is the next book in the series and I plan on reading it in the near future.

I believe that the best books are the ones where you care about the characters even after the story is over.  This author is a master at that and I have no problems giving this a Good Book! review.
