Excerpt

Gunfire. The sound Axel hoped never to hear again had him grabbing Summer

and pushing her toward the truck. Men with the flashlights were shooting at

them!

“Get down low,” he warned. “Hurry.” He ushered her inside the cab before

jumping in beside her. Camo, who had ducked at the sound of the gunshots,

immediately on alert by this new person.

“It’s okay, Camo. She’s a friend.” He scooted the dog over and glanced at the

woman he wasn’t anywhere close to being convinced was a friend.

Who knew what she’d gotten involved in that had intruded into his peaceful

existence. The soldier in him wouldn’t let him leave her to those wolves.

He sped away under heavy fire. Several shots came far too close. Axel swerved

around a curve and glanced in his rearview mirror thinking they’d escaped the

armed men who were on foot, yet multiple sets of headlights assured him they

had vehicles waiting near the road.

Keeping Summer alive had now become his only priority.

My Review

Even though this book included the hard subject of human trafficking, the author handled it well. My heart went out to Summer and all she went through. I admired her bravery and strength despite her turmoil. I pray that God will heal the hearts of those who have suffered from trafficking in the real world.

The story is filled with despair, humiliation, and danger, but also has times of compassion and even joy. With Axel's help and others, plus God's intervention, the ending wrapped everything up nicely. The story was so engaging that I read it in one sitting. The twists kept me turning the pages, along with the non-stop action from beginning to end. I highly recommended it.

I received a complimentary copy from the author, and a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
