ABDUCTED IN ALASKA

Protecting a child...could cost them their lives

Saving a boy who has escaped his captors puts Canadian border patrol officer Hannah Morgan right into the path of a ruthless child-smuggling ring. Now with help from police constable Layke Jackson, she must keep the child safe. But can they rescue the other abducted children and bring down the gang...all while protecting a little boy and keeping themselves alive?

My Review:

Phew! This is one non-stop action roller coaster of a read! Love the Canadian setting (it says Alaska in the title but most of the story takes place in the Yukon) and the interesting perspective of a Northern border patrol officer.

The pursuit is viciously relentless as Hannah and Layke strive to protect young Gabe and figure out who is behind the smuggling and where the other boys are. And the bad guys aren't the only ones giving chase -- God has been in pursuit of Layke for awhile and the frozen tundra provides just the right attention grabbing moments. Getting to watch Layke's diminished faith spark back to life and grow in strength is one of the highlights of the story.

Throw in some romance and a twisty-turny suspense plot with more questions than answers and you wind up with one thrilling read.

Border Breach

GIVEAWAY

TURNER, DARLENE L.
BORDER BREACH

When drugs are smuggled cross the border it's their duty to stop the culprits...at any cost.

Forming a joint task force, Canada border officer Kaylin Poirier and police constable Hudson Stevves have one objective: take down a drug-smuggling ring trying to sell a new lethal product. But when the smugglers come after Kaylin and Hudson, this mission becomes more than just a job. Can they live long enough to solve the case?

My Review:

What a great romantic suspense debut! And I love the Canadian setting and the police procedural vibe that brings insight into casework. Lots of action. Even more dead ends. And a super creepy villain who is always one step ahead. I felt like I was on the ground dodging bullets right along with Kaylin and Hudson. My sleuthing armchair got a great workout but I was still stunned by a certain turn of events. Love it when an author trips me up. And I was feeling all smug about my detective skills too. Ha!

The romance was...prickly. :-) Kaylin and Hudson have worked together before and it didn't go well so both of them have their backs up when they are thrown together by the higher ups in a special task force. There's lots for them to work through this time round -- both personally and professionally and Kaylin has some spiritual struggles that make it harder for her to let go of past hurts. A realistic portrayal that highlights the grace forgiveness can bring even in the midst of the most trying times.
