Hush In The Storm
Blurb:
Jen, a young widow floundering in the storm
of mourning, whose only lifeline is her humdrum job, is tossed into a maze of
deceit and intrigue by a coworker named Tom...at the request of her late
husband, or so Tom says. He kidnaps her and fakes her death to keep her safe
from the cartel who he thinks caused her husband's "accident."
Together, they are thrust into a tempest of danger and deceit where no one is
whom they claim to be. The list of people Jen can believe in keeps diminishing.
Who can she trust while dodging the Feds, human traffickers and the press
who've discovered she's alive? How will Jen rescue the two held-captive girls
she befriends without drowning them, Tom, and herself in the waves of betrayal,
especially when she's begun to suspect her husband may not be as dead as
everyone thinks...

Review:
5 out of 5 Stars - Suspense with a Twist of Human Issues, August 6, 2014, By M. Hamilton
Right from the start, this book keeps the reader
guessing. The heroine, Jen, is mourning the death of her husband when she's
kidnapped and held in a cubicle by a guy who claims to have worked with her
husband. He also claims he's protecting her. But from whom? And why? And is her
husband really dead?
It's a tangled web to unravel that leads into human sex trafficking. The reader will learn a lot about this issue from the story, and see some of it's devastating effects. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

I enjoyed Julie's novel. Lots of twists and turns.
ReplyDeleteSounds fascinating. There have been times a job kept me sane. Fortunately I didn't have to face the heroine's other challenges.
