The Lincolns #3
The Runaway
12 billionaire bad boys raised in the occult. Follow the Lincoln brothers as they navigate life after the death of their grandmaster occultist father, find faith and fall in love. Christian supernatural thrillers with romance and a hint of conspiracy.
How do you keep a new faith when your own brother would kill you if he ever found out?
By faking death! At least that’s what Junior Lincoln decides to do. As the youngest of the twelve Lincolns, and being Jared’s full brother, he knows his new faith will never go anywhere if he doesn’t do something. With assistance from the FBI, he assumes a new identity and relocates to a small town.
His aim is to lie low, blend in and finish his college degree. But if he wanted to do that he shouldn’t have taken a job as a relationship counselor, fondly known by the townsfolk as The Love Doctor. He shouldn’t have let himself fall for his first client. And most of all, he should have made sure it never got out that he’s an ex-practitioner.
How do you make your child’s father marry you?
Hazel Robbins, desperate to make Nate fall in love with her so that their daughter will have a better childhood than she had, turns to Junior, aka The Love Doctor, for help. But as they spend time together, their 'practice dates' begin to feel like the real thing.
When paranormal activity sweeps across the college campus, Hazel and the other students look to Junior for help. He’s the only one who seems to know what to do about it, and his prayers work.
But can Junior continue to depend on God when his life is suddenly in danger, or will he turn to the craft that he's so used to relying on?
And can Hazel and Junior have a happy ending if she finds out his true identity?

Two
Two. That's the number of nights I missed sleep reading this book. Worth. It. It was just what I needed! Far exceeded my expectations! I often think of how African American books are lacking in genres like young adult, paranormal, or Christian. This book was all 3! Also add a creative plot and interesting set up for the 2 main characters that was completely complimented by the superb writing and we've got a home run here honey. Alsoooo inspirational with an underlying message of Faith in believers and trusting God even when we can't see Him working. Loved it. Wish I could know more about their future. Now I shall sleep for 2 hours before church.

Another winner from Ms. BENSON!
In this continuation of the Lincoln brothers we get to know the baby of the famous family, Junior, Luke's namesake. Junior is a quiet honest hunk. Not quite what you would expect for a Lincoln. Well lol except for the hunk part. We also meet Hazel a shy insecure clumsy beauty. Hazel and Junior are both attending college in small town, strange things start to happen that will make you catch your breath wondering what or who is behind it all especially the notes that Junior receives. Be prepared to stay up all night if you are like me and you have to find out what is going to happen next. I love finding out about each of the boys and what God has in store for them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that wants to see our powerful God in action as He protects and loves His own.

First thing first, God is more powerful than any other gods, God is sovereignty.
God is God. God is love. God is good
I will keep saying thank you, Dayo Benson, for this eye-opening books.
The Bible says "They that know their God will do great things," no power can challenge the power of God in you but you as a Christian can give the devil a ledger ground inside of you, to do that. This story reminds me of Job's story in the Bible.
The LION said he may be a new lamb, but he is more powerful than you all can put together. This book is giving me joy for turning to God in all my life. He got me.
They both find love at the end. This book 📖 is powerful.
Dayo Benson, I pray God protection is always around you. No matter what the devil is doing, God will always fight and protect you. He will always send his angel to watch over you always

October 29, 2019God is so committed to us than we(the believers) even know. Our present help,who doesn't bail on us any time,any day.
When we stand our ground to do God's will even to the point of death, He always shows up and even he doesn't,he is still and knows best.
I cried while reading this book because of how God saved Junior many times even after he fell many times,God still held his hands and how He answered Hazel's prayer when she was at her end.(Isaiah 65:24)
It was an emotional read for me

Such a wonderful book!!
This book told all about the youngest Lincoln. It was amazing what he was willing to give up to be Christian. It goes to show you no matter how rich and successful you are it was better to be dirt poor and a Christian than to be rich and a devil worshiper. Such a sweet love story with suspense, betrayal, secrets, and mystery. Love this series!

Loved it Awesome
Junior was such a lovable guy, He was the love doctor, glad he got out, and found a new family, hopefully all his brothers make it out, including Jared.
