Hazardous Holiday by Liz Johnson

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Hazardous Holiday. This is the fifth book in the Men Of Valor Series. Don't you just love Liz's stories? I know I do. This story is well written, action packed, and full of faith. I love stories about special ops military programs as my son was in the Special Forces with the Air Force so they fascinate me. Navy Seals are special.

When he returns he finds that his family is under attack. Someone is trying to kill his wife. A sniper misses his mark and causes Zach to wonder exactly who the killer is trying to kill. Can he keep them safe?

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Stalking Season. This is the second book in the Smoky Mountain Secrets Series. (I could identify with this story as my ex-husband stalked me for several months. I know how Cheyenne felt.) Don't you just love Sandra's work, I know I do. This story is well written, full of action, and faith based. What's not to love?

Two Thieves by Paul Joesph Luiso

My review today is on a book sent to me, Two Thieves. The review is my own thoughts and feeling. This book is well written and well researched. It's not a book that I can say I loved becaues it a dramatic subject. I would liken it to Ben Hur. There is much violence in this book but that was what life was like in Jesus time. I'm sure the book will inspire you.

The book starts in Jerusalem in 2 AD. Emoonah and her son watched as her husband was beaten to death because he didn't pay the temple tax. They had a really bad year and had no money to eat let alone pay taxes. Caiaphas, a priest, ordered the widow and her son to be sold to pay his debt. The widow and her son manage to escape by the help of Nicodemus, a priest. He leads her out of a secret tunnel and tells her to find a caravan of Magi. She is abducted by slave traders and her son is sodomized. He blames her. The Magi had just returned from Bethlehem and when the slavers attack them they save Emoonah, her son and one of the others slave that had befriend her, Mara

The head Magi falls in with Emoonah. He tries to talk her into going with him to Persia. She found her family and her cousin is now dead but her husband and their child are a mess she is determined to help them. Jamal, the Magi, built her a business. Then after many months he leaves her.

The cousin is a mess; a liar, a thief, and a maker of strong drink. He turns her son into a thief, a murder, and a maker of strong drink. They live in Nazareth and watch Y'shua grow to be a man. They are finally are force to leave.

The story goes clear through to the crucifixion. A dramatic story but well worth reading.
check out the book. You will love the end.

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Mistletoe Reunion Threat. This is the fourth book in the Rangers Under Fire Series. I have really enjoyed this series, I love the men and women is special ops as my son was one of them. We really need to honor the men and women in the Rangers, Seals, and the Special Forces.
