A Strike to the Heart


About the Book: 

She's fiercely independent. He's determined to protect her. Wisconsin, 1933--When a routine mission becomes an ambush that kills his team, Craft Agency sniper Miles Wright determines to find the persons responsible and protect the woman he rescued. But the fierce independence that led Lily Moore to leave her family's dairy business for the solitary life of a dog trainer and the isolation of her farm don't make that easy. Neither does his unwanted attraction to her. Meanwhile, escalating incidents confirm that she's far from safe.

Lily fears letting the surprisingly gentle retired marine into her life almost as much as she fears whoever is threatening her. As Wisconsin farmers edge toward another milk strike, one that will surely turn violent, it becomes clear that the plot against Lily may be part of a much larger conspiracy. When the search for her abductor leads close to home, she must decide whether to trust her family or the man who saved her life.


 My Review: 

Rescuing Lily Moore from kidnappers didn’t go the way that ex-sniper and team member of the Elite Company Miles Wright had envisioned. It certainly was not what I thought would happen! With such great details to this part of the story I found my heart racing and dodging bullets right along with Lily and Miles. 

I love a good mystery and trying to figure out the reason for Lily’s kidnapping and subsequent attempts on hers and Miles’ lives not only made this intriguing, but also added to the suspense of the story. With details being revealed throughout the story I found myself experiencing a gamut of emotions. Sometimes I felt smart because I figured out a part of the story, and other times I was perplexed because I didn’t see some things coming. But, isn’t that what you want from a book? 

I liked Miles’s strong sense of protectiveness for Lily. His strength and growing love for her made me know she was in good hands. He was the right man to see to her safety and still honor her need for independence and  running her business. 

I thoroughly enjoyed Gio, Miles’s friend who had his back when he needed support and guidance. His unwavering faith helped Miles when he needed it most. 

I recommend reading this book if you like historical or romance novels with a strong faith message. Thank you to the author and publisher for an electronic copy of the book. All opinions are my own and a positive review was not required.
