Contemporary Romantic Thriller,
By
This review is from: Against All Odds: A Novel (Paperback)
This easy-to-read page turner is well written in a very fluent fast paced sort of way. The characters were completely believable and the plot was well developed. It's unexpected twists and turns does not lull the reader to sleep, thinking this to e a predictable story. All in all, a very enjoyable read. The only criticism I would have is the romantic angle is rather predictable and too smooth for my taste. Real life doesn't work that way. Many more doubts and ups-and-downs. Other than that, this title is heartily recommended!

Outstanding!,
By Michele - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Against All Odds: A Novel (Paperback)
I absolutely LOVED this book! As a huge fan of Dee Henderson, I was enthusiastic to note that she endorsed this book as similar to her own series. I couldn't agree more! The plotline is suspenseful and intelligent. The characters are extremely well developed - so much so that you are very disappointed when their story ends. The romance is tender but believable. And the message of forgiveness is a tremendous and inspiring reminder to all. I am so excited that this is but the first in the series - I eagerly await book #2!

If you like Vince Flynn or Tom Clancy...,
By Deanna Joseph "reads 3 books a week" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
First, this is not necessarily a Christian woman's girly book. Yes, it has the bible and God sprinkled through out but it is not in your face, down your throat!Second, I love spy stories, fiction and non-fiction stories about terrorism and such. I have read all of Vince Flynn's books and I am a female (not his target audience) but this book was a good read. It was free when I got it so I figured I would try it but I will pay for future books. That being said, it did not go into the battles and history of the characters as far as the motivating factors but did give enough information to keep my from questioning the basic story line. Worth the read! 29 of 35 people found the following review helpful

Compelling Plot,
By Sally "SmilingSally" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Against All Odds: A Novel (Paperback)
Do you know of anyone who has trouble relating to a family member? Most of us have or have had problems in this area. Monica, one of the characters in this tale, won't even take her father's phone calls! Communication and the lack of it is one of the themes in this suspense-driven novel. As Monica says, "As important as it is for people to talk the walk, it's just as important to learn to listen with the heart as well as the ears." Sometimes people communicate by doing, rather than by talking.Another theme is forgiveness, and the damage involved when a person refuses to forgive. Another character states, "Forgiveness is hard, honey. But it's what God calls us to. Besides, as some wise person once said, holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It hurts you a lot more than it hurts them." I can't say much about the compelling plot because I don't want to ruin it for you. Romance, terrorism, Middle East, Afghanistan, FBI, kidnapping, hostage rescue team, diplomat, murder, relationships, women in distress, safe house, and bombs are all included in this Christian Fiction. This will keep any reader's attention. I do not agree with the theology that has one person asking God for forgiveness for someone else. Other than that, it is an exciting book to read. |
