Trial by Fire

Second Chances #3

by Barbara Ellen Brink

Faith is often tested by fire… After his criminal trial is set to convene, Ace Anderson manages a daring escape from Federal custody. Keeping one step ahead of FBI Agent Samson Sinclair, he plots vengeance on the two women who put him behind bars. Two very different women connected by the plans of one very evil man… Ivy Sinclair, finally comfortable in her new marriage and confident her children are healing from the psychological wounds of the past, finds herself once again running and hiding from a man who wants her dead. She longs to be as strong and fearless as her friend. Will this new trial serve to toughen her up, or bring her to her knees where God can show her His strength alone is sufficient? Brenna Blackman, recently engaged and juggling a ready-made family while running an open-door art studio for homeless teenagers, is suddenly bombarded by circumstances out of her control. A private investigator is caught snooping around her life and an enemy from her past is suddenly threatening to destroy everything and everyone she now loves. Will the old Raven rear her head in retribution, or will God use this trial to strengthen her trust in Him?

Good Series

An enjoyable book that somehow never broke through to pulling me in. Good characters and story but it could have been shortened by less repetition and made better by writing scenes with more emotional depth and not skimming to results. I am also not a fan of political views being inserted. Still, the series had romance, suspense, action likeable characters and cute kids.
