My Review: I am more of a “chick-lit” reader,  but occasionally throw a Suspence read in.   This book started a little slow for me.  But, I wanted to give it a chance, and several chapters in, the author caught me, hook, line, and sinker.  I knew then that I would read this book, all the way through, because I just HAD to know what happen.  It most definately wasn’t a chick lit “fall in love” kind of book.  You thought that, most of the way through, but I did. not. see the ending coming.  And yet, it was the perfect ending to a great book.    I have to admit, I did enjoy this book, inspite of myself and my reservations going into it.

Fiction: Christian, Suspence

When Simon Mason, the world’s best-known televangelist, receives threats from Muslim terrorists, he hires Taylor Pasbury, a beautiful former Secret Service agent, to take charge of his security. Taylor is thrilled to receive the high-profile assignment, but she has no idea that Simon already knows more about her than she could imagine.

When the terrorists strike, making a demand of the pastor that would shake the most steadfast saint, Taylor draws on all of her hard-knock toughness and training as she fights to save Simon and his daughter. Along the way, she discovers that she is not the only one who has done things she would like to forget—and she is not the only one who understands that some things are more important than living.

“James David Jordan pens a fascinating tale that is more than a suspense novel. An intimate exploration of the soul’s need for acceptance and belonging, it touches the nerves of some of our most sensitive fears and longings. Forsaken is a moving and relevant saga of faith on a collision course with the brutalities of our world.”
