A second chance.

Destiny Reed went to Africa hoping to make a difference, but when a dangerous group kidnapped her and another woman, her life took a dark turn. Recovery has her working as the executive assistant at Vanguard under the watchful eye of the team who rescued her. She might be willing to help the company that saved her, but if she lets go, the people she has at arms’ length will discover her dark secret.

A fight for the future.

Detective Jasper Hollingsworth compartmentalizes his life out of necessity. After all, his personal life could tear apart the professional world he’s built. He loves his job as a cop, but one wrong move will bring it all crashing down. While the police department hunts a deadly kingpin, Jasper grapples with his own history and his place in a world that bleeds blue. When he spots Destiny at a high society party, Jasper realizes things aren’t what they seem. As the surface of who she is now peels back, what he finds is far beyond his expectations. And everything he’s ever wanted.

Couldn't put it down.

This is another great book by Lisa Philips. I have enjoyed each book in the series. Love the fast paced action, the suspense of what is going to happen next, and the thrill of watching the characters learn to trust GOD and each other with their lives.

Small Town Thriller!

3.5 stars
"Jasper had to choose between his parents, his job and Destiny. One choice might lead to happiness. The other was his duty. How on earth was he going to choose?"

Some might assume that Detective Jasper Hollingsworth led a charmed life based on his prominent family and ease of opportunity. Even most of his fellow officers did not know the full story, and up until this point Jasper had been reticent to correct their misconceptions. . . . . but for Destiny. Destiny Reed had a way of making Jasper believe that second chances might be possible.

"Do we have to understand the why of the pain to find the depth of comfort in healing? . . . . you can trust God to bring you through all of this."

" . . . all of this" . . . was proving to be a pretty big test of Destiny's faith. While trying to navigate her feelings for Jasper, her Vanguard Private Security and Investigations team members were being pushed to the limits by a criminal who was determined to destroy everything good about the town of Benson.

While sensational, the plot jumped through multiple hoops at such a rapid pace that it was a little disconcerting. However, on a scale of one to ten, the romantic tension was a solid nine, making this story really fun to read and a solid contribution to the series.

Fallout

Destiny returns from Africa where she was kidnapped. Jasper helps his friend and she eventually shares a secret with him. Destiny shows her strength as Clare has the baby and she is temporarily in charge at Vanguard. Hang on. Suspense and love explodes.

I received an advanced reader copy from the author. Opinions are my own.

Team

Great read and series! I love how they work as a team and keep pushing to keep everyone safe and loved. Making everyone family to grow and protect, and how the stories work together.

Very entertaining Christian suspense

This book has a great array of characters from the good to the bad and the struggling in between. The suspense is very entertaining. I enjoyed the romance and the Christian message sprinkled into the story.
