The Wonder of You by Susan May Warren

This book is one in a series about the Christiansen family. I have not read all of the other books in this series so I wasn't familiar with all of the characters in the book. I would definitely suggest reading the books in order as this book doesn't work well as a standalone read.

This book is all about a love triangle between Amelia Christiansen and the two men who are trying to gain her love. Seth is Amelia's high school love and he is the safe and obvious choice for her. However, Roark is also in the picture and he is the unconventional wild card choice.

While this book had many sweet and romantic moments, I found myself being frustrated with the characters as I read along. The characters were often wishy-washy and didn't ever seem to be sure of what they really wanted. Also, Roark's idea to completely push his way into Amelia's life seemed a bit extreme. Overall, the plot line wasn't completely relatable for me. 

However, there were many bright spots in this read and it is a clean, inspirational romance. I would definitely give the other books in the series a chance.

The Escape by Lisa Harris

Buckle up for an action packed thriller from Lisa Harris!

Madison James and Jonas Quinn are US Marshals who are transporting two prisoners on a plane when the worst case scenario happens...the plane crashes. The Marshals survive but one of their prisoners manages to escape and Madison and Jonas find themselves on a wild goose chase as they try to recapture this dangerous criminal.

This book is full of twists and turns and will keep you guessing. I thought it was very well written and one of the better romantic suspense books I have read. This is just the first of the US Marshals series so I look forward to reading the rest of the series and hearing more from these characters. Thanks so much to the author and publisher for the chance to read and review this book!
