Terri Reed's plot in this book is more than good. The characters are people you would like to have as friends. The suspense of the murderer trying to kill Corinna keeps the book flowing and not an overabundance of the typical "I will not get involved again" themes that repeat way too often in some stories.

I always enjoy Terri Reed's books. If you like an inspirational message with your romantic suspense, then you will also like her books. This latest is the first in a continuity series of six books. A different author writes each book, but keeping the same characters and a continuing story line. This book starts off with a bang. Corinna, a prima ballerina, finds her Texas Ranger father murdered in their home. This doubles her grief, as her mother died when she was young and now she has no family.

As the murderer continues to pursue her to get information, and then to silence Corinna, she is forced to work closely with Texas Ranger Ben. Ben is someone who her father sheltered and mentored during their childhood. Her father treated Ben like a son and Corinna deeply envied that relationship.

On the surface, this is a great romance with both the suspense of being pursued by a murderer and the need to resolve feelings from their past relationship so they can move into a new relationship. But, more than that this is a book that asks the question, why does God let bad things happen to good people? And does God ever really intervene? If these are questions you've asked, then you will certainly identify with Corinna's faith journey as well as enjoy the love story and the suspense. ( )
