My review today is one the Love Inspired Suspense, Explosive Force. This is the sixth book in the continuity series Military K-9 Unit. I have really enjoyed this series and Lynette is one of my favorite authors. This story is well written, action packed, and full of faith. I know you are going to love it.
First Lieutenant Heidi Jenks is a news reporter for CAF News. She is upset about the stories she is being assigned. Most of them are just plain boring; like stolen medals. She would rather be out there working on the Red Rose Killer case. She just finished an interview at the church and was walking home. Speaking her thoughts into her voice activated recorder when she saw someone come out of the K-9 Training Center. The man wore a dark hoodie, he pulled it back and removed a ski mask, then looked right at her. His eyes locked on hers causing ice to flow through her veins, he turned and looked at the center and then took off. Another man came out the door; she yelled "Run Bobby " just as the building exploded. She had a feeling the man would be back, she had seen his face, this could be the biggest story she ever had.
First Lieutenant Nick Donovan and his partner Annie came on the scene. They were members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit. They would have to wait awhile before they could investigate. Annie was an explosives detection dog. He was angry when he saw Heidi talking to one of the investigators. He had no use for reporters. She sure didn't waste any time, how did she hear about the explosion so quickly? Why did she look so disheveled? Annie alerted. He bent over to take a sample when Heidi started talking to him. He was shocked to find she was not only involved in the explosion but saw the bomber. As much as he hated reporters he felt he must keep her safe.
A struggle with a cold blooded killer. Can they stay one step ahead of this mad man? God has a plan for these two; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil.
Give him your heart and watch Him move in your mess.
