Dead Ringer by Susan Sleeman

My review today is on the Romantic Suspense, Dead Ringer. This is book one in the Truth Seekers Series. I waited along time for this book to come out and to get my copy. So many authors just put out lots of cookie cutter books. The names are changed but you know exactly what is going to happen. I have always prayed I wouldn't be that kind of an author. Susan isn't one of those. Each of her books are different, well researched, and when I'm sure I know where she is going, we take a sharp turn. I love that! Even though her men are big, strong and highly intelligent they also have a soft place and love the  Lord. I think that's awesome! I really enjoyed that she incorporated the Blackwell Tactical in the story. This is an excellent book, it's well written, action packed, and full of twists and turns.
Sheriff Blake Jenkins is called to a house where it's obvious a young woman has been tortured. Even though the woman was tortured in the shower stall, blood was every where. Putting the case in his deputy's charge he takes the woman's picture and blood evidence and secures a ride to Veritas Center in Portland. The woman, Caitlyn Abbot had been searching for her birth family; her DNA is already at the center. They are the best, he will ask for their help. Imagine how shocked he is when the woman he has worked with a couple of times is a dead ringer for his missing woman. As he works with Emory he is drawn to her but he has an iron clad rule against relationships. He must keep her safe and find her sister. When Emory's apartment is trashed, he can't help wondering what is this man looking for?
Dr. Emory Steele has no idea she is adopted, let alone that she has an identical twin sister. She confronts her mother and finds that it's true she's adopted. Now to find her twin before she is killed. She offer the centers resources for hire for one dollar. Blake can't turn that down, they are the best. She's drawn to the sheriff but after being attacked by her ex-boyfriend she has no intention to get involved with another man. She must learn to trust the sheriff and work with him though. Her life and her sister depends on this man.
A journey into a past neither girl had even known existed. God has a plan for all those involved; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Trust Him with your heart and watch Him work in your situation.
