Review – High-Caliber Holiday

May 5, 2016 By The Suspense Zone

This is book three in the First Responders series. Each are a stand alone book, however they all revolve around the same people. So if you enjoy reading a series and catching up a bit on characters from previous novels then read them in order (Silent Night Standoff and Explosive Alliance), plus they are all good.

We meet Morgan Thorsby in an intense situation. She comes from a privileged family, yet is trying to make it on her own. When her independence is threatened can she depend on the handsome sniper, Brady Owens? Will she ever be able to stand on her own or does God have other plans for her? Morgan desperately wants to help other and remain independent but Brady has a way of breaking through her defenses.

Brady Owens is from the other side of the tracts. He knows he could never be good enough for someone like Morgan, yet he is drawn to her. Will he be able to solve her problems before it is to late? Can he trust God with his plans for his life? Brady is a strong and determined man who has some issues to deal with too.

This novel is full of twist and turns and will keep you guessing till the end. There are some things you may figure out and some you may think you have figured out but will not know for sure till you reach the end.
