Sam Anthem has always been a team player, leading his Home Team on secret missions around the world and chasing down bad guys for the U.S. government. But Sam has never had a place to call home or someone to go home to.
Consuelo Zamora has been serving as a missionary nurse, but her work has led her to be forced to work with some South American drug lords in order to provide medicine for the common people. After being rescued by Sam and his Home Team, Consuelo settles into a new position in Olympia, Washington, to work with a community center there. But somehow, trouble always follows her, and Sam Anthem seems to always be nearby to save the day.
When Sam is forced on a two-month vacation, he is introduced to a former covert ops soldier-turned pastor. But the vacation takes a turn when the Home Team comes under attack. As the team fights to stay alive against an unknown adversary, Sam begins to wonder if there is more to life than just the job. With his life on the line, Sam must decide between the job or his newfound faith and possible love.

MY REVIEW

The story is filled with intrigue, action and behind the scenes of military operations. This reminded me of secret missions that keep you on the edge of your seat. There have been shows that touch on the subject our main characters face but I found this book to be more realistic. The characters are well written and give us a look at how they operate under pressure.

I like that the book is driven by faith and illustrates that we have to make hard decisions that are not always easy. Working together Sam and Consuelo take on a mission that proves to be dangerous. They sometimes don’t agree on how to handle situations but that allows readers to see the struggles they face when their faith is tested.

Deceit runs rampant as the two face a traitor that tries to stay one step ahead in this game of power. Get ready for a thriller with a bit romance and characters grounded in faith.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
