Zero Visibility and No Way Out


Title: ZERO VISIBILITY
Author: Sharon Dunn
Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense
July 2012
ISBN: 978-0373083183
Genre: Romantic suspense

Why was she a target?

Merci Carson doesn’t have a clue—but she knows she owes her life to the quiet man who roared to her rescue in his snowmobile. EMT Nathan McCormick is used to handling challenging situations, but between the unexpected blizzard that stranded the lovely student and the desperate men chasing her, he has his hands full. Yet for Nathan, failure is not an option. Merci’s bravery and kindness challenges his guarded heart, making him start to hope for the future. Together, they could be something special—if they solve the mystery in time.

ZERO VISIBILTY is attention getting. I was hooked from the first page. Two college girls, on the way home for Christmas break when they get into an accident on a back road. But the rescuers that stop attempts to rob them—and when Nathan roars up, Merci and Nathan try to work together to kidnap the other girl, Lori, back from the kidnappers.

What are the robbers looking for? Why are they desperate enough to kill for it? Is Lori a victim or an accomplish? I had to keep reading to find out.
Some of the events are unbelievable. Will two people really chase after bad guys with guns in a blizzard with no weapons and no plan? But with the suspension of disbelief, it was a good, exciting read. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $5.75. 217 pages.

Title: NO WAY OUT
Author: Susan Sleeman
Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense
May 2013
ISBN:  978-0373445394
Genre: Romantic suspense

Who can she trust?

Alyssa Wells has uncovered evidence that her police officer husband was murdered by his partner—a dangerous claim in a small town. After two tours in Iraq, protecting Alyssa and her children shouldn't be a problem for private investigator Cole Justice.

Alyssa feels drawn to him, but how can she trust anyone after everything she's been through? Cole's sure his heart is closed off to love, but Alyssa and her children seem to have found a way in. As the killer draws closer, Alyssa realizes she's trusting Cole with more than her safety.

NO WAY OUT is the third book in Ms. Sleeman’s The Justice Agency series. It easily stands alone, but readers will want to read Double Exposure and Dead Wrong first as they are about members of the same family and you’ll want to know about the details of their relationships.

NO WAY OUT is spell-binding. It caught my attention from page one and held it all the way to the end of the book. There are some twists and turns that I didn’t expect, but other things I did expect—such as the ending almost seemed to wrap up too quickly—I should’ve known Ms. Sleeman’s writing better than that. She had another twist coming that I didn’t expect.

If you like romantic suspense, NO WAY OUT is a book that you won’t want to miss. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $5.99. 224 pages. 5 stars
