Amish Covert Operation is a Love Inspired Suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat. I thought the story was well-written and it had a peppy pace. I found the main characters of Katie Schwartz and Adam Troyer to be appealing. Each of them has a history along with flaws (makes them relatable). Katie is a widow with twin daughters. Her brother, Timothy is the last of her family and she is used to seeing him daily as he tends to her animals. Since Easter, though, he has not been around, nor has he been attending church. Katie wants to get answers from him and heads to his farm. Katie sees something she should not and finds herself on the run with Special Agent Adam Troyer protecting her. Adam had a rotten childhood with an alcoholic father, and he had his own battle with bottle. Adam feels is his unworthy of God and someone as lovely as Katie. Katie is a woman of faith and knows that God is watching out for her. She prays for guidance and assistance. I liked the dialogue between Adam and Katie as they got to know each other. The story was enhanced by Adam's struggle with faith and finding his way back to God. The story was full of action as Katie and Adam tried to stay one step of ahead of the criminals. I liked the inclusion of coded message (I have a thing for ciphers). There is a great action packed ending that will have you quickly turning the pages to find out what happens next. I enjoyed the epilogue that wrapped up Amish Covert Operation. Amish Covert Operation has suspense, electric sparks, gunshots, and perilous situations.
