BENSON FIRST RESPONDERS SERIES
COLLATERAL - Book #3
"Woman, you're about to get yourself killed."
Clare
Juarez was inclined to agree, after all the man had a gun in his hand
and it was pointed directly at her, "was today the day she could give
her life for an innocent victim? Finally wipe the slate clean." The
Vanguard CEO had arrived at the bank to consult with security about this
exact kind of scenario, inadvertently walking into a bank robbery. And
wouldn't you know . . . SWAT Lieutenant Gage Deluca's team had responded
to the call. Clare's past was about to intersect with her present, if
she lived long enough to feel the collision.
"We'll just have to
figure out how to work together without actually working together." So
that was how this was going to go down? Gage didn't have much time to
rehash their shattered past at the moment, but he was impressed with the
woman that Clare had become. Under normal circumstances, she was the
kind of woman that he would love to know better, but presently they were
having trouble finishing a conversation without an argument. Gage's
newfound faith was teaching him how to have patience, but seeing Clare
again . . . wow, what a test!
This fast paced, multi-layered
plot is amazing in and of itself, however it's the overriding personal
dynamics between Gage and Clare that I will remember with fondness.
Witnessing Clare's spiritual journey towards wholeness while Gage
continually demonstrates self-control coupled with compassion, makes
this addition to the series stand out as pretty special.

KNOCKOUT - Book #5
"Sure, she might be outnumbered, but life constantly lay on a blade edge from death. The tipping point was what counted, and all she had to do was push it in her favor."
Why was she in his town? SWAT Sergeant Liam O'Connell is not thrilled to discover that Roxie Helton is now employed by Vanguard and working for the Cold Case Department . . . specifically, the cold case surrounding his father's death. Their relationship in the Marines had ended badly, but from the looks of the scar scarcely marring Roxie's pretty face, her next step had ended a lot worse. It doesn't take long for Liam to realize that Roxie's secrets run deep and unfortunately one of them has followed her to Benson.
As Liam tries to apprehend members of a dangerous crime family while at the same time trying to keep Roxie safe, the facts begin to indicate that their cases could criss-cross in the most dangerous way possible . . . life or death, leaving Roxie to wonder . . . was trusting God her best option?
"She had nothing else. No way out. No weapons. No back-up. No team. No gear. . . Now it was just God."
A thrilling episode in the author's "Benson First Responders" series.
