Against All Odds: A Novel, by Irene Hannon

I read this book over the weekend.  It was a free download on Kobo (and also here on Barnes and Noble). 

This book intrigued me, as it was an author I had not heard of.  The plot sounded like almost any suspense movie that tries to also attract women with a bit of romance.  While parts of the story were predictable, others were not.  The characters were believable and realistic.  Overall, the story was entertaining and held my attention.  What I enjoyed most was the fact that there was a religious aspect to the story, but not so much as to detract from the primary story line.  The language was completely free of vulgarities, slurs, innuendos, etc.  There were a couple of scenes that, while still clean, were not suited to children.

This author's writing style and subject matter (the combination of faith/spirituality, suspense, and romance) reminds me of Dee Henderson.  If you enjoy any of Ms. Henderson's novels, you will likely enjoy this one as well.  And the reverse is also true.  If you enjoy this novel, check out some of Henderson's novels.

My verdict:  I would suggest this book to a friend.  So, friend, read this book!  :-)  Actually, I do encourage you to check it out, especially while it is available as a free download.
