An Amish Country Justice Novel

My Review;

Intense suspense with a side order of Amish.

Plain Refuge starts out with a gripping, hair-raiser of an opening scene and keeps up a steady pace of danger and intrigue right to the very end. Wooossshhhh! That's me finally letting out my very last pent-up breath. Lynn has a great sense for drawing out suspenseful tension while merging in a poignant love story. I was on the edge of my seat over both the whole read!

For fans of Amish fiction -- just know that the Amish connection is very light and doesn't come into play until about the half way mark. That in no way marred my enjoyment of this romantic suspense but I just thought I'd give a heads up to to any readers expecting more Amish-centric fiction. And on the flip side, if you aren't an Amish fiction fan, this might just be the perfect book to ease yourself into trying the genre. :-)

Amish Haven

AMISH HAVEN

A refuge for his family -- an Amish Witness Protection story

When criminal lawyer Tyler Everson witnesses his boss's murder, he becomes the killer's next target -- along with his estranged wife, Annabelle, and their daughter. Now they must enter witness protection in Amish country. But reuniting with his family isn't easy when Annabelle doesn't trust him. Will going into hiding keep them safe...and bring the family back together for good?

My Review:

What an interesting twist to the romance in this Love Inspired Suspense. An estranged married couple -- talk about raising the angst factor. Especially since there's a little girl involved who hasn't seen her daddy in years! I thought I'd be really put off by Tyler but I found myself empathizing with him more than Annabelle!

The suspense plot is fast and furious, though the Amish angle doesn't come into play until almost the halfway mark. This is the last book in The Amish Witness Protection series and Lynn does a great job of bringing closure to readers as we get a glimpse at the 'ever afters' of Jonathan and Celeste and Julia and Abraham from the first two books. Happy sigh from someone who has a hard time letting fictional characters go! :-)

Amish Christmas Abduction

GIVEAWAY

AMISH CHRISTMAS ABDUCTION

Kidnapped in Amish Country

After catching a glimpse of something she wasn't supposed to see days before Christmas, Irene Martello is run off the the road and barely survives. More shocking is the backseat whimper of an Amish toddler stowaway and the familiar sight of their rescuer -- the man who let her down years earlier. Police chief Paul Kennedy fears Irene stumbled onto a kidnapping ring with two dangerous agendas: retrieving the girl and silencing the witness for good. Only Paul can keep them safe for the holidays. Guarding Irene means risking his heart -- and his secret -- but to save this child and the woman he never stopped loving, it's a risk he has to take.

Amish Country Justice: Protected in Plain sight

My Review:

I could feel the hairs rise up on the back of my neck in the first chilling scene. Lynn knows how to write malice into her villains and this guy sure was creepy. All menacing glares and out of control anger. Phew! Tension and danger and mystery abound as Irene and Paul find themselves thrust into the crosshairs of a vicious gang of thugs. Their history makes things complicated. The high school sweethearts find themselves disconcertingly comfortable with each other in some ways. But years of separation and misunderstandings have put up walls that seem impossible to scale. Paul's beating himself up over past mistakes. Irene's concerned with protecting her two fatherless sons. Anything developing between them would be complicated with a capital C. Plus there's this relentless maniac with vengeance on his mind...

A thrilling romantic suspense that will draw you in and keep you reading until both the romance and mystery are resolved.

PLAIN RETRIBUTION

Amish Abduction

Ten years ago while on rumspringa, Rebecca Miller and her friends were kidnapped and held captive...and now, living in the English world, she's nearly abducted again. One by one her friends, who once helped send their abductor again. One by one her friends who once helped send their abductor to jail are targeted, and she is next...unless police officer Miles Olsen can stop a killer.

When the relentless killer tracks them deep into the heart of Amish country, protecting Rebecca must be Miles's sole focus. Because a mistake this time will cost something worth more to him than his job -- the woman he's falling for.

Amish Country Justice: Protected in Plain sight.

My Review:

Phew! I'm still breathless from the page-turning ending to this gripping suspense. Talk about a white-knuckled read! My poor book is a little worse for wear after the reckless way I raced through it. Compelling doesn't begin to cover it.

First off -- loved the insights the author shares about the Deaf community and ASL. Some things I knew and some I didn't and Lynn does an excellent job of portraying the many facets that make up Rebecca. The author really got under her skin and helped me see the world through Rebecca's unique perspective. Particularly how she could feel a part of something but left out at the same time. This heroine has an inner core of strength that has helped her carry on after the devastating abduction she endured as a teen. And she has to face a whole lot more as the past catches up to her.

Miles is determined to serve and protect and that means viewing Rebecca as a victim instead of the captivating woman he can't seem to resist. Romantic tension in spades! But dodging a ruthless killer while trying to figure out who he is takes precedence over love...until it's nearly too late. A thrilling story with a light Amish flavour.

PLAIN TARGET

Sanctuary in Amish Country

Horse trainer Jess McGrath only wants to clear her disgraced brother's name, but enemies keep coming out of the woodwork and danger only gets closer. Jess soon learns that no place is safe -- and no one can be trusted...except for the last white knight she'd ever expect to ride to her rescue. Paramedic Seth Travis was the boy behind her high school humiliation, but he's also the man keeping her alive. When they find sanctuary in the Amish community, can they uncover answers in time to stop a killer -- and resolve their past in time to build a future together?

Amish Country Justice: Protected in Plain Sight

My Review:

Wow -- what a fantastic page-turner! And absolutely love the unique story threads Lynn has woven through this romantic suspense. Both the Amish and Deaf cultures bring an entirely different dimension to this traditional genre.

Jess and Seth have a history -- and not the warm fuzzy kind -- which amps up the tension as they try to adjust to the present while letting go of the past. And there's a lot at stake -- namely keeping Jess alive! Multiple twists and turns in the plot gave this armchair sleuth a lot to stew over as I tried to figure out who was behind all of Jess's problems. Seth is determined to make up for his past by keeping her safe and there are some breathless, heart-stopping moments as they evade the relentless pursuit of a determined killer.

A faith-filled romantic suspense that ticks all the boxes...and then some. Highly recommended.

INTERRUPTED LULLABY

Safe by the lawman's side

Maggie Slade's been on the run since witnessing her husband's murder, hiding from a killer who wants evidence he believes she has. A killer who was dressed as a LaMar Pond policeman.And she'd better run fast, because it's not just her life on the line -- Maggie now has year-old twin babies. But then she's attacked again, and rescued...by a LaMar Pond cop. Trusting Lieutenant Dan Willis is frightening. Letting him take her back to LaMar Pond to find her husband's killer is terrifying. But to protect her babies, she'll risk anything. Even her life. And as she grows closer to Dan and learns to trust again...she may even risk her heart.

My Review:

Tension and action and enough suspense to drive a sleuth-solving reader to distraction. There's a bit of a carry over from the first book, Presumed Guilty, but the author does a good job of playing catch up. I loved Maggie and her mama bear persona. Can't imagine living on the run with twins -- and she doesn't understand why. As much as she's done a good job of hiding, it's almost a relief when Dan comes on the scene. As reluctant as she is to trust him, there's some comfort in no longer being alone. Intense action scenes, a puzzling mystery and a complicated romance kept me on the edge of my seat right to the end.

PRESUMED GUILTY

"I'm innocent!"

After four years in prison for a crime she didn't commit, Melanie Swanson's finally free. Yet starting over brings a heavy load of challenges. Nearly everyone believes she's guilty—including police lieutenant Jace Tucker. Jace's certainty cracks only when Melanie is repeatedly attacked, and when the people around her are picked off one by one. Melanie's clearly innocent—and terrified. Someone wants her dead to keep her shattered memories from recalling the crime she witnessed rather than caused. She lost her friends, her fiancé and her freedom when she was found guilty—but proving her innocence could cost Melanie her life.

My Review:

One of the most thrilling opening scenes I've read in a Love Inspired Suspense! Lynn pulled me right into the turmoil and I felt an immediate connection with the heroine. She's survived four years in prison for a crime she didn't commit and, upon her release, the worst should have been behind her. Not so much. Scary stalking scenarios, the harsh judgements of the community and fighting off assailants is fast becoming the same old same old.  Jace and Mel are thrown together in a wicked game of cat and mouse with plenty of twists and turns and enough surprises to keep me guessing until the very end. Awesome debut novel!
