48 hours, 2 covert operatives, 1 chance to get it right
Maddox Kinkade is an expert at managing the impossible. Tasked with neutralizing a lethal bioweapon, she turns to the one person capable of helping her stop the threat of pandemic in time: the love of her life, back from the dead and mad as hell at her supposed betrayal. Recruiting Cole to save millions of lives may be harder than resisting the attraction still burning between them, but Maddox will do whatever it takes...even if it destroys her.
When Maddox crashes back into Cole Matthews' life, he wants to fight back. He wants to hate her. But the crisis is too strong to ignore, and soon the two former lovers find themselves working side-by-side in a breakneck race to stop a world-class killer with a secret that could end everything.
The clock is ticking.
A race-against-time romantic thriller, perfect for fans of JD Robb and Mary Burton!

Review:
Maddox is a specialized CIA agent whose Gray Box team has been tasked with tracking, capturing the terrorists and recovering a stolen bioweapon. Maddox and her team have just returned from a mission and aren’t at 100% but they are ready to roll. Her superiors know that she could use extra help so they send the team to retrieve a non-CIA ‘asset’, Cole Matthews. The team shows up just in time to rescue Cole from a kidnapping by Russians. That is a bit of surprise but even more shocking to Maddox is the moment she sees Cole’s face.

Maddox knows this man as her almost fiancé who supposedly died nine years ago. She knows she made a mistake in betraying his family, but she went through extreme pain when she thought he was dead and has never moved on to another love. To cope with her losses, Maddox immersed herself in CIA training ending up in a covert organization. Maddox can’t understand how her first love could have allowed her to go through that pain of loss and she is livid. The only reason she would be willing to work with ‘Cole’ is the threat to innocent lives.

Cole created a new persona after Maddox’s betrayal devastated his family. He became a security specialist with the added background of assassin training. He never expected to see Maddox again and isn’t thrilled with the idea the agency he has always hated wants to use him. But once they pull him into the mission, there is no way he is going to let Maddox fight the danger without his protection.

The team knows the extreme risk of the bioweapon but they don’t realize the depth of the focused revenge intended by the enemy. Added to the dangerous mission is the discovery by the team that there is a mole in the base and they don’t know who they can trust.

This book in one word is “Intense”. The characters, Maddox and Cole, are intense ‘warriors’ aka operatives, who have personal history. The plot is suspenseful, tension-filled and intense. The same is true of the relationship between Maddox and Cole, plus there is a good dose of passion – both in anger and in chemistry. Their time together sizzles and sometimes they have to step back and remember the mission they have to complete before they can address all of their own issues. The story resolves the mission but leaves open the identity of the mole. I will be glad to read the next book in the series.

This has an excellent blend of tension, action and romance; Romantic Suspense just the way I like it. I highly recommend this to readers who like intense romantic suspense.

Audible Book Review: The Highwayman A Longmire Story by Craig Johnson

This is a nice little mystery with great narrator accents.
The Highwayman
A Longmire Story
By: Craig Johnson
Narrated by: George Guidall

Series: Walt Longmire, Book 11.5
Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 05-17-16
Language: English
Publisher: Recorded Books
Genre: Ghost, Mystery, Western
My Rating: 4.5 of 5.0 Overall; Story 4.5; Narration 5.0.

Publisher's Summary
Sheriff Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear embark on their latest adventure in this novella set in the world of Craig Johnson's New York Times best-selling Longmire series - the basis for the hit drama Longmire, now on Netflix.
When Wyoming highway patrolman Rosey Wayman is transferred to the beautiful and imposing landscape of the Wind River Canyon, an area the troopers refer to as no-man's-land because of the lack of radio communication, she starts receiving "officer needs assistance" calls. The problem? They're coming from Bobby Womack, a legendary Arapaho patrolman who met a fiery death in the canyon almost a half century ago.
With an investigation that spans this world and the next, Sheriff Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear take on a case that pits them against a legend: The Highwayman.

Review:
One of the local Wyoming highway patrol officers, Rosey, has recently been assigned to the road in Wind River Canyon. This is a fairly remote area with tunnels that have seen tragedy causing it to be called no-man’s-land. Even the radios and cell phones have intermittent operation. Nighttime should be mostly quiet but Rosey has been getting strange “officer needs assistance” calls. The calls come at the same time on the nights they come and there seems to be an accident that follows. But the strangest feature is that they are coming from Bobby Womack, an Arapaho patrolman who died almost half a century ago. Womack’s death was shrouded in mystery and occurred leaving some question whether he was involved in a legendary bank heist.

Sheriff Walt Longmire and his friend, Henry Standing Bear, have been asked to talk with Rosey and get her to speak to a professional about her confused claims. Henry is the Chief of the Cheyenne Reservation Tribal Police and often helps Walt with investigations.

Walt and Henry meet with Rosey, listen to her description and see the tokens she has picked up. Although Henry Standing Bear acknowledges that spirits and supernatural elements may be at play, Walt is intent on finding a factual, scientific explanation for the events.

I was pulled into this story not just by the opening lines but also by the character accents. I loved the quick mystery with its haunting aspects that are blended with distinct clues. There are several suspenseful scenes and the tension and supernatural mystery build until there is a surprising resolution. This was my first story/listen in this series but won’t be my last. We don’t get Netflix so I don’t know if we will be able to view the TV series. That’s okay – I can always pick up more books in the series. I recommend this to readers who enjoy western mystery and Native American characters. This novella is a good way to meet the primary characters.

Audio Notes: George Guidall provides wonderful narration. I was enthralled with the accents and the Native American character voices. I thoroughly enjoyed the will be glad to listen to more in this series.

Sunday Post July 7, 2019/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday July 8, 2019

I am linking with Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading now at The Book Date (at Wordpress).

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

This past week was definitely a holiday week. Good thing appointments were minimal because those of us in office weren't completely focused on work. It was relaxing (after the trial on Monday of course).
More office project progress as I got a firm commitment from the structural engineer and approval from insurance to engage.

We celebrated our country's Independence Day and my hubby's birthday. Daughter and grandkids got him this fun cake -- he's always liked the beach.

Hubby is frustrated by his wooziness and lack of stamina. :-(
Our weather here continues to be hot. The thunderstorms cool things off. This week I've been praying for those suffering through the earthquakes.

I had another good week of reading and finished four books again: 2 audiobooks and 2 ebooks. I posted four reviews on the blog and posted my usual memes.

I visited 18 blogs again last week.
Shout Out this week to Reading Under the Blankie. Norrie describes herself: "Book lover, cat hugger, coffee drinker, wiseass, capable of eating half a cheesecake in one sitting. Best not to approach before she had her breakfast."
Thank you to all the nice people who visit me.

Publisher's Summary
Lady Emily Hardcastle is an eccentric widow with a secret past. Florence Armstrong, her maid and confidante, is an expert in martial arts. The year is 1908 and they’ve just moved from London to the country, hoping for a quiet life.
But it is not long before Lady Hardcastle is forced out of her self-imposed retirement. There’s a dead body in the woods, and the police are on the wrong scent. Lady Hardcastle makes some enquiries of her own, and it seems she knows a surprising amount about crime investigation…
As Lady Hardcastle and Flo delve deeper into rural rivalries and resentment, they uncover a web of intrigue that extends far beyond the village. With almost no one free from suspicion, they can be certain of only one fact: there is no such thing as a quiet life in the country.

Tangled Web

I like the premise of this supernatural fantasy.
I continue to work on my NetGalley titles.
Source: NetGalley 2019.
Cassidy Kincaide runs Trifles & Folly in modern-day Charleston, an antiques and curios shop with a dangerous secret. Cassidy can read the history of objects by touching them and along with her business partners Teag, who has Weaver magic and Sorren, a 600-year-old vampire, they get rid of cursed objects and keep Charleston and the world safe from supernatural threats.
When zombies rise in Charleston cemeteries, dead men fall from the sky, and the whole city succumbs to the “grouch flu,” Cassidy, Teag, and Sorren suspect a vengeful dark witch who is gunning for Teag and planning to unleash an ancient horror. Cassidy, Teag, and Sorren—and all their supernatural allies—will need magic, cunning, and the help of a Viking demi-goddess to survive the battle with a malicious Weaver-witch and an ancient Norse warlock to keep Charleston—and the whole East Coast—from becoming the prey of the Master of the Hunt.

Sunday Words of Encouragement July 7, 2019

Our Sunday School teacher continued with a video showing Ken Peters decades old prophecy and born-again testimony. One of the descriptions in his vision was the moment of death by decapitation execution for failure to renounce Jesus as savior. The sensation was that he felt no pain but was immediately in the presence of Jesus where he felt “precious in God's sight”.

Pastor shared how many in the congregation served water during our local Independence Day ceremonies. He reminded us that serving the community is an important part of our mission, noting that Millennials and Gen Z look for greater purpose, not just church fellowship.

Pastor then continued his sermon series titled Resolution. This week’s message was based on the second part of Hebrews 10. The book reminds us that Christ’s sacrifice for all ended the prior system of priestly, ritual sacrifices.

Pastor noted that many people are naturally skeptical or at least cautious. “If it's too good to be true, it probably is” and “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” attitudes.
This would fit the people begin addressed by Hebrews because the whole Jewish culture was changed. Hebrews 10:19-25.

Our new freedom begins with the (blood) sacrifice of Jesus. Can we, do we, trust it? Pastor encouraged us to look at the ‘case for Christ’.

Hebrews 10:26-31 reflects a frightening message. It sounds as though there is no salvation for those who “deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth”. But really this section is a contrast to Grace, not a contradiction. We all continue to sin and would be doomed but for Jesus' blood. The verses are really saying that lamb and bull sacrifices are no longer effective. Only the sacrifice of Jesus … and faith therein … brings salvation.

We cannot make ourselves more righteousness by minimizing or avoiding sin. This is the tension between law and Grace. There is only condemnation under the law, not freedom. Hebrews 10:32-39 sets out this conflict but encourages us to patiently endure with our faith.

Jesus’ blood doesn't Tip the scales of Justice/the law in our favor. It removes the scale. We are no longer measured by the law. Only by Grace. As to the continuing to sin, the Holy Spirit will convict if we are listening.

Point: Confident trust in the Lord, brings great reward.

What does trust look like? We learn to trust first by faith, and later we learn to perceive eternity.
We can never measure up; we can only trust Grace.
Do you trust Him? Or trust yourself?
Do you trust God with your life. With Radical love and assurance that allows you to follow Him?
You may need to ask yourself: Where is your lack of trust and how can you begin to resolve it?
We each have a choice: Reject condemnation or reject Grace.

I think this song fits today's message.

Verses for Today:
Hebrews 10:35-36 NIV
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

I thank God for the gift of salvation and for giving me a solid faith to Trust in Him.
