FACING THE ENEMY by Best-Selling & Award-Winning Author, DiAnn Mills
FACING THE ENEMY Published on September 5th!!
DiAnn’s suspenseful tale gripped me immediately. FACING THE ENEMY is a romantic suspense that has me wishing it would be done up into a movie. Let me tell you why!
Trenton Jacobs showed up after a lengthy separation from his family to connect with his sister, Special Agent Risa Jacobs. They enjoy an amazing reconnection, only to have their meeting end in tragedy. This story keeps the adventure churning while the visceral emotions and healing swirl throughout, keeping me curious—what will happen now? What are they going to do? How can they get out of this?
She and Special Agent Gage Patterson, her FBI partner, work in the violent crimes against children division. Yet, along with the guilt and grief Risa carries over her brother’s death, a secret forces her to leave her job and the partner she cares deeply about. She returned to teaching English in the local university. But danger is a breath away, and continues to pursue her and put other peoples’ lives in danger.
This story has deception, secrets, betrayal, danger, and everything you wish to have in a clean romantic suspense novel. This novel holds a special place in my heart and my bookshelf. Once you read it, you will understand why. This title is appropriate.
DiAnn’s ability to connect the complicated feelings Risa experiences over Trenton’s tragedy is nearly tangible. Anyone who has experienced a loss like this will relate. Yet, she weaves strong emotions, secrets, threats, and complicated relationships into a moving page-turner. When DiAnn says, “Expect an adventure!” She means it! Sit yourself down because you will want to read until you know the answers to the questions that will be very natural for you to ask. I appreciate all the different characters and how the details pull together into a fantastic story that I’ll never forget.
I was given FACING THE ENEMY for an honest review. Mostly, I was honest, but if I said all I have in my heart for this book, you might feel I’m gushing, so I withheld a bit. I highly recommend reading, keeping, and giving this story to others. It is well written, with incredible characters and plot. Full of adventure. I can easily say that DiAnn keeps her promises.

IF I WERE YOU, by Bestselling Author, Lynn Austin
(1931 -1950)
This novel, IF I WERE YOU, is a deep dive into the hearts, dreams, and tragedies experienced by two very different women, Audrey Clarkson and Eve Dawson. They’d become friends as children at Wellingford Hall, the Clarkson’s home. Both were blessings and challenges to one another, making this a page-turner. This heart-wrenching journey through loss, and World War II, chases through expectations of their class situations and the conflicts and fall out of war.
These complicated women struggle and grow and experience many emotional highs and lows in a way that will endear themselves to those who read IF I WERE YOU. I highly recommend this stunning novel by Lynn Austin. This author is a talented writer and storyteller. My hope is that you will give her a try!
Well done, Lynn Austin! This is a reread for sure!
