Rescuing a child makes her a killer’s target.

Racing into a burning cabin to search for survivors, firefighter Diana Cameron stumbles upon an unconscious child—and two bodies with bullet wounds. When a sniper targets their narrow escape, Diana has no choice but to team up with bodyguard Chase Mitchell to keep the little girl safe. Uncovering the identity of the murder victims is the only way to find the killer. But as they’re chased by gunmen into the mountain wilderness, can they protect a tiny witness from the unknown…when the truth is more sinister than they imagined?

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

CHARACTER INTERVIEW  with Diana Cameron

  1. What words or phrases do they overuse? Until recently, I didn’t overuse any phrases I can think of. But lately, it seems I’m constantly saying, “We have to get out of here.” Of course, when you’re running for your life with a pack of killers on your heels, that makes sense.
  2. Do they have a catchphrase? I don’t really have a catchphrase, but since Chase Mitchell was thrown into my life to help protect me and the child I saved from a burning cabin, it seems I’m always reminding him to have faith.
  3. Are they more optimistic or pessimistic? I’m definitely more optimistic, though lately that optimism doesn’t come easy.
  4. Are they introverted or extroverted? I’m more introverted. Though I do enjoy getting together with the few friends I’ve allowed close to me, I’m quite wary of strangers.
  5. Do they ever put on airs? I can honestly say I don’t ever put on airs.
  6. What bad habits do they have? It seems I have a bad habit of finding trouble. After leaving behind a catastrophic relationship, I find myself in trouble once again when I stumble upon a burning cabin, rescue the child inside, and emerge to sniper fire.
  7. What makes them laugh out loud? Watching Chase Mitchell try to navigate his tender side is very entertaining.
  8. How do they display affection? I find I am affectionate, and will often lay a hand on someone’s shoulder or offer a hug to comfort someone. But only if I know them fairly well. Unfortunately, I’m not as trusting as I would like to be.
  9. If they could change one thing about themselves, what would it be? I would like to learn to trust again. But the last time I trusted someone a lot of people were killed.
  10. What is their obsession? My obsession right now is keeping a young girl safe from the gunmen who are hunting her and trying to figure out why.
  11. What are their pet peeves? My biggest pet peeve is when someone comes along and just expects me to follow his lead in all circumstances.
  12. What are their idiosyncrasies? Right now, it’s helping people in order to make up for the people who were harmed because of me in the past.

My Review:

I always feel bad when a child is in danger. I really want to get the culprit. I could not put this book down. Diana is already a hero. She is a firefighter then when hearing the blast runs towards danger and into the frying pan. She was a character to really like. She was hurt in the past. However she never gave up on God. Chase is a hero in his own right. He is a bodyguard who risks his life to protect others. He also has a past. His past however leads him to lose his faith. Their past traumas add to the drama and suspense of the story. The villains after them are determined and violent. They are in never ending danger. Not only is Diana attacked by a sniper, but she also gets chased to a roof top. The action is ongoing and I was drawn into the story. I was nervous for these characters. Especially Emmie, a poor child stuck in the middle. They escape to the wilderness, only to face a new set of obstacles. After finding out the killer's plans, I was furious. He got what he deserved. His partners were also found. The ending was sweet and I hope to read about these characters. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, all opinions are my own.
