Last Chance #2

by Jennifer Haynie

Former sniper Suleiman al-Ibrahim welcomes the routine of living at Last Chance Ranch alongside the remnants of the Shadow Box team. He uses his roles as student and waiter to suppress memories of his past life—and a secret. Recently remarried, Victor Chavez has brought his bride and her children to Last Chance Ranch. They face an uncertain future as they barely make ends meet while he starts his new security business. Things change when Somali pirates hijack a hospital ship off the African coast. Billionaire Norm Walters hires Victor’s company to rescue his daughter, Doctor Tori Walters, a plastic surgeon onboard the ship. The catch? To succeed, Victor needs the talents of the entire Shadow Box crew. With time running out for Tori, past hurts imperil the fragile unity of the recently reunited team. And Suleiman’s secret? It threatens to destroy the respect of the man he admires, the affection of the woman he loves, and even the lives of him and his teammates.

[Joy DeLaine Lanman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this story. The characters are well developed. I like stories that develop relationships between the characters. It is also nice when you get pulled into the story of redemption in a character's life. Suliman comes to a saving faith in Jesus and Victor is prompted to forgive a great travesty in his life. Sana and Suliman develop a loving relationship that is fun to watch develop as well.

This is the second book in the series and it did not disappoint.

Great read. There was at least one use of bastard and hell as an expletive.
There was a terrific theme and message of grace and forgiveness throughout the book
