Proof by Jordyn Redwood
From back cover:
After DNA evidence clears a suspected serial rapist of grisly crimes, ER physician Dr. Lilly Reeves takes matters into her own hands. Police detectives think she's a danger to the case, and her colleagues worry her obsession will be detrimental to her health. But Lilly can't stop, even if it means digging into a dark mystery that science cannot comprehend. Alone and on the run, Lilly wonders: Is there any proof that will bring a monster to justice?
I just finished this book (although I haven't posted a review yet.) But I really enjoyed this book. Very good plot and characters. And it's free! Download it here!
Hide and Seek by Jeff Struecker and Alton Gansky
From back cover:
She traded her gun for the power of words, but now she needs both.
Amelia Lennon no longer wears a uniform or carries a weapon. An Army trained Foreign Affairs Officer; she's negotiating a dispute with the Kyrgyzstan government that threatens to leave the United States without an airbase in that region. While following a government contact - the lawyer daughter of Kyrgyzstan's president - Amelia witnesses an attempt to abduct her. She thwarts the kidnapping, but now the two women are on the run in a city that's erupting into chaos.
Master Sergeant J.J. Bartley is the Special Operations team leader tasked to rescue them. With a new member in his unit whose secret could endanger everyone's life, J.J. must solider the team through crazed mobs intent on overthrowing the government. Back home, his pregnant wife is misinformed that her husband and his men have been killed. Before this is over, Bartley will find out that's the least of his problems.
I love a good military suspense/thriller and this was a very good read. I really enjoyed all the characters, even the secondary ones. I really like J.J. and his team, especially their humor and the way they interact with each other. Everyone comes across as very real and relatable.
I especially liked Amelia. She was smart and tough! I like a strong, kick-butt female character. I think this is my favorite of Jeff Struecker's books.
Faith is an integral part of the story, and I like how it isn't shoved down anyone’s throat. It's there, but it's not pushy.
The only thing I don't like about this book (and all the books in the series.) is there's too many points of view. It's always a little confusing at the beginning trying to figure out who is who. I found myself skipping over parts of a characters POV's a couple of times and not missing anything in the plot.
I hope there's more books in this series! I highly recommend this book; there's plenty of suspense and action. And there's a character in here to satisfy every reader.
