Picture
Author: Mary Alford
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: November 1, 2020


Fleeing to Amish country might be the only way to survive Christmas…

Hiding in Amish country, former CIA agent Victoria Kauffman’s determined to find evidence to catch the corrupt agents who killed her partner. But when her Christmas refuge is discovered, the sole person she can trust is Amish widower Aaron Shetler. With ruthless—and dangerously powerful—enemies after them, Victoria must use all her training to make sure they live through the holidays.

Reviewer: Anna Bottoms

This book has just enough romance to keep it interesting and loads of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Aaron finds a woman who’s been shot, hiding in his workshop. Wondering what evil has come to his small Amish community he puts his life on the line to protect her. Soon they’re on the run.

I love the bonds of family and friendship evident in this book as people rally around Aaron and Victoria despite the danger to themselves. They all work together to figure out who’s after them and how to keep them safe.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I received a copy courtesy of the author through Interviews & Reviews. This is my honest opinion of the book.

Reviewer: Trixi Oberembt

This was an intense read! Almost non-stop action and high octane threats has left both Victoria & Aaron vulnerable at every turn. I had no idea how they would outrun the dangers they faced or how they would hide from the crooked agents who killed her partner a year ago. How were they found everywhere they went? I had my suspicions, but I was left guessing until the end. 
 
Forgiveness of ourselves plays a central role in this book. Both Aaron & Victoria must deal with their feelings of guilt for past mistakes they think caused the deaths of those they loved. I like how Aaron clings to his faith and how he helps remind Victoria of God's working in her life. God brings about healing from brokenness and I love how Mary Alford portrays this in her characters. The spiritual truths sprinkled throughout were refreshing, my favorite part of Love Inspired books!
 
This is the kind of suspense I really enjoy, it kept me on my toes until the end when I could finally breathe again. Whew, what a ride!
