Cross Fire by C.C.Warrens

My review today is on the novel, Cross Fire. This is the second book in the A Holly Novel Series. I didn't read the first one but I am tempted to go back and read it because I really liked this one. I don't think I've ever read any C. C.'s  work. This book is well written, action packed and full of intrigue. Fifty years ago I was married to an abusive man. It was a horrific time in my life. This is a hard subject to write about but this book handle the subject in a special way. I know that you are going to love this book.

She can't trust men. Holly had been badly abused in her past; she can't stand to be touched, especially by men. Her foster brother, her abuser, is out there somewhere and she must learn to protect herself.
