Crossfire by Jodie Bailey

My book review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense Book; Crossfire by Jodie Bailey. I really enjoy Jodie's work and this was an exceptional one. A story of a couple who as teenagers crushed on each other, although neither shared that fact with the other. His best friend and her brother kept them from the knowledge. Now the attraction is not only still there but overpowering.

Andrea Donovan, once in the Army,  is a counselor to Army personnel having substance abuse problems or PTSD issues. Unable to save her brother, it had become her life work.  She left her office to go shred some of her notes when a large man blocked her way. He demanded one of her patients, Wade Cameron, or his file, when she refused, he attacked her.

First Sargent Josh Walker was torn between aiding the woman or catching the man that had attacked her. Chasing the man he was able to see the car but unable to get the plate numbers, going back to the woman he receives a hard fist to his face. When he was finally able to get her attention and calm her down he recognized his high school crush. Guilt from her brothers death had kept him from becoming a part of her life, now her life was in jeopardy.

A fast paced, well written story of wounded people trying to survive in a complicated world but finding only God can make a way. I know you will love the book. God bless you and have a Happy New Year.
