I absolutely LOVED this book! The author does a good job of developing Kerry's character so that she becomes a friend whom you know well. You are able to relate to her and feel her fear, heartache, frustration and joys as she does. Luke is another of my favorite characters. He is charming and annoying in turns and the combination makes him completely irresistable. I like that she pulls characters from the first book into this one and continues to develop them. As Luke struggles to keep Kerry safe once, he is forced to find time to also deal with his faith (or lack thereof) and his feelings for his estranged father. If he can't come to terms with himself...how can he hope to win Kerry's heart? (after he's helped her brothers capture the man who kidnapped her!) I found it very amusing that at times, Luke is siding with Kerry's brothers...while other times, he is making sure she gets exactly what she needs in spite of them! This is a great read for anyone from 8 -98. It can stand alone, but I really enjoyed how well it followed the first book. I am looking forward to seeing what the next book in the series deals with! I would rate this book a 5/5. It's JUST been released, so be sure to look it up on amazon or authorhouse!
Okay, I've got to tell you that if you don't read this book you will miss a totally awesome story. Fast paced, snappy dialog and an amazing cast of characters.
Kerry Reiley is a second grade teacher who loves what she does. She is a simple girl who loves people (including her family) and people love her too. But...when you have brothers that work for the FBI (Jordon) and CIA (Rick)you may have to watch your back. Revenge is what Chris Deveraux wants. That and his father's release from prison. When her brothers find that she's been taken by him...Rick calls in a friend he knows can get her out. Luke Reeding is good at what he does and owes Rick a favor for saving his life. He thinks he's rescuing a damsel in distress. What he doesn't count on is finding a beautiful, capable, strong willed, very witty girl. As they are thrown together in hiding waiting for Rick and Jordon to capture Chris Deveraux they develop a very strong attraction between them. She knows she can't let her heart fall for this man who doesn't share her faith. It's pretty hard though when he's everything you've desired. Luke has never met a woman like Kerry nor felt the 'forever' type feelings he's dealing with lately. Both know they have no future together or is it true that all things are possible with God?
From the first page until the last I was totally engrossed in this story! We met and fell in love with the Reiley family in the author's first book Shadows from the Past. (Jordon & Aurora's story). Shadows of Suspicion is Kerry Reiley's story. I LOVE that the author continues to involve the whole family. I love how she blends suspense, humor, emotion and a solid biblical message concerning salvation and being unequally yoked, into the story. The Reiley family dynamics is something to behold. The brothers are very protective alpha males who love to play hard and love hard. Over the top good! The women are strong and stubborn but also protective of their family. I really would highly recommend this story. You won't be disappointed. I am REALLY looking forward to the next installment. The author left the door open wide for future books, I'm just wondering who will be next? Great Job Ashley Dawn!!

I found another of her books. Again, she had my attention from the get - go. I enjoy how she brings in close family in a world that doesn't seem to encourage family connections.
