Great Debut Novel!

Stephanie Newton's "Perfect Target" was one that I could not put down from the first page to the last. She had me wondering who was responsible for stalking Bayley and for the murders that were going on in Sea Breeze. I loved the characters of Bayley, Cruse and his sister Sailor. They were very much alive in the story. The relationship between Cruse and Bayley felt very natural, not rushed. I highly recommend this book. If you like Dee Henderson you would love this. I look forward to her next book "Moving Target". Great Job Stephanie!

My Comments: An enjoyable story about a Tyrant husband who left his doormat wife and after becoming a Christian comes back to reclaim his marriage. You journey with Mike and Jeanie as they struggle to become what is best for each other and what God ultimately wants them to be.

Michael Davidson knows the demise of his marriage was his fault, and now, as a new Christian, he's determined to make things right But when he finds his wife, he discovers she's given their child up for adoption. And while she has new friends and seems to have made a life for herself, Michael can't stand the way those people take advantage of her. So he steps in to help Jeanie get it right.

Jeanie has spent the last year rebuilding her life. She knows God loves her and has forgiven her, and she finds herself stronger in that knowledge everyday - until Michael arrives and brings with him all the regrets and shame of the past.

Will Jeanie ever be able to trust herself or her husband again? Can Michael overcome his hurtful, controlling ways? Only God, the true Fixer of mankind, knows the answer.

Book 3 in the Defender's of Hope Series keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Although not an easy subject matter, Amy does a excellent job in handling it. You also get to catch up with all the characters from Ransomed Dreams and Healing Promises. That's one thing I love about Amy's books is the way she keeps all the characters in all the books. That makes for a very fulfilling story. It's almost like one big story except the focus of each story is on one main character. I appreciate that style because you really come to know these fictional characters almost like real people.
I highly recommend this book. You could read this as a stand alone but recommend you read Randsomed Dreams and Healing Promises to give the complete story. Great work Amy!

Great addition to the Defender's of Hope Series...

Enduring Justice by Amy Wallace.

It's almost like one big story except the focus of each story is on one main character. I appreciate that style because you really come to know these fictional characters almost like real people. This book is due in April 14.

Great Book...

Just finished reading "Against All Odds" and really liked it. Irene did a great job drawing the characters of Coop and Monica. She kept me turning pages wondering how it will all come out and there is an unexpected twist at the end. Highly recommended reading.
