My review of The Marine’s Deadly Reunion

The Marine’s Deadly Reunion by Loretta Eidson is a heart-pounding suspense book in the Love Inspired: The Protectors Collection. Long lost friends reunite, danger lurks everywhere, and the power of prayer fill the pages of this exciting book. 

When Sergeant Daria Gordon sees an altercation outside of a shopping plaza, she quickly intervenes when she sees that guns are drawn. One car peels out of the parking lot, and Daria pulls her gun on the second person involved in the fight. Unbeknownst to her, she’s stopped the good guy, US Marine Jake Fisher…the Jake Fisher that was her childhood best friend. Jake quickly explains the situation; he believes that his sister and brother-in-law were murdered in the car crash that took their lives. He doesn’t think it was the accident that the police findings suggest. Jake is trying to find out who murdered them, all while newly parenting his toddler niece. Daria is now in danger, but she’s adamant about the fact that she, not Jake, is part of the law enforcement in the town.

Don’t start this book before bed, or you’ll be up half of the night reading! Once I started reading The Marine’s Deadly Reunion, I couldn’t put it down. It’s so exciting! It’s almost all non-stop action with the three of them on the run. They’re not sure who else they can trust, even among Daria’s co-workers on the police force. I loved that aspect of the book because I could not figure out which cops might be corrupt and who could be trusted. It seemed that the criminals were always a step ahead of Jake and Daria which led them to believe someone on the inside had to be involved. 

I loved watching Jake and Daria rekindle their childhood friendship even though the butted heads lots of times during their hunt for the criminals. They both had the training, but as Daria reminded him, Jake had to do things by the book or anything they may find could be thrown out in court. Leaving decisions up to Daria was hard for Jake who wanted to control every situation and keep them all safe. 

Events in both Jake’s and Daria’s lives led them away from their faith. They believed that God let them down and didn’t answer their prayers. Throughout their plight, both Jake and Daria found themselves praying for protection. I think that this happens to many Christians, including myself, while going through trials and tribulations. When God doesn’t answer the way we want Him to, we think He’s not trustworthy. We forget that He does answer all of our prayers, but we might not get the answer we want. Prayers for healing of a loved one may not be answered with a yes until they get to heaven where they’ll be whole again. Even when it’s hard, we can trust God. Jake and Daria both turn back to their trust in God’s goodness even when things are hard. 

I highly recommend The Marine’s Deadly Reunion! The constant action, realistic characters, and significant message about prayer make it a must-read for lovers of Christian suspense! 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
