Lisa Harper has lived separately from her mother Annie for years. Not because they wanted to, they had no choice. Annie signed custody of Lisa over to someone else to protect her from Dutch Hauk, Annie's controlling abusive second husband. Lisa has worked hard to become a doctor because the plan has been that as soon as Lisa is able to support Annie she will leave Dutch. Just as that plan is about to come to fruition Dutch sets something in motion that just might keep them apart forever. Mark Taylor, a former special operations spy with the group "Shadow Watchers", is now the chief of security at the Crossroads Crisis Center.He has done everything in his power to keep Lisa and her mother Annie safe, and somewhere along the way he started falling in love with Lisa. Because of his past he has always dreamed of being loved and wanted, not just needed. When he and his friends from the Shadow Watchers realize that Nina an organization they were working to bring down is involved in Dutch's plans, they plan on doing everything in their power to keep Lisa safe, while bringing down Nina. Can it be done? This book started out a bit slow for me, but one it got going it was a real thrill ride that had me on the edge of my seat on several occasions. The main characters in this story carry burdens from their past, but that doesn't stop them from having hope and faith in God. Lisa was an amazingly strong character, determined to take care of her mother. Mark carried blame for the death of his mother and his friend in Iraq, things that were out of his control, but he still felt responsible. The love story that unfolds between the two is touching and they fit so well together.The banter that went on between Mark's friends from the Shadow Watchers was often very funny, but also gave us a true look at the close bond between them. While this story is the second story in the Crossroads Crisis Center series it can easily be read as a stand alone work. If your a fan of christian suspense that draws you in with a great plot and characters that will keep you riveted to the story then you definitely should pick up this book! rating 5/5 Reviewed for Readersfavorite.com
Siguiendo la estela de "El Médico", Gordon no se ha complicado mucho con esta novela. La época de la Inquisición Española no es más que un pretexto para seguir escribiendo sobre lo mismo. Aún así, a pesar de un principio pesadumbroso en el que se repetían los mismos esquemas una y otra vez, los personajes se hacen familiares y no puedes abandonar a Yonah Toledano fácilmente. El libro mejora muy notablemente un poco más allá de la mitad del libro, casi igualando a su novela hermana. Por eso al final acabas con un buen sabor de boca haciendo del libro uno de los recomendables.
I just found this book today, and it was absolutely fabulous! It was funny, it even kept my husband engaged. Definitely a keeper.
I really ejoyed this book and learned so much from it. I find the way A.W. Pink writes a little difficult at times, but that will not discourage me from reading his other works.
