“Brooke” by Ronie Kendig

Genre: Clean with faith elements, Romantic Suspense

Prioritizing career over family cost Brooke Metcalfe Mulroney everything—her relationship with her siblings, her marriage, her children. Written off by her family, she delves deeper into her work. Until a life-altering moment offers a chance at something she didn’t know she wanted—redemption. But her self-centered ways nip at her heels as she goes on the lam to do what she knows is right.

Former Special Forces operator and founder of MiLE, Cord Taggart wages war on human trafficking by taking the violence to the wicked, determined to never again let an innocent die because he did nothing. But maybe he’s bitten off more than he can chew this time as he works to track down New York City high-powered attorney Brooke Metcalfe, who is MIA. Then there’s her brothers who have threatened to chase him into the afterlife should he fail.

Tricky are the hours as Cord negotiates many battles: freeing the captives, demolishing the Trench that has made millions off the skin-trade industry, and his growing, deep-rooted feelings for the bombshell in her highfalutin tower. Brooke must put her life—and heart—in the hands of the thick-skulled operator.

MY REVIEW

I couldn’t wait to read this book after reading the other Metcalf books. The author included a warning at the beginning of the book that it may be hard to read due to the content of child abuse and trafficking. It was emotional to read and upsetting at time, but nothing graphic. There were alot of emotions, heartache and drama.
I really liked getting to know Brooke and Cord and I liked that Brooke’s brothers made an appearance in this story as well. It was interesting to learn that sometimes even family members don’t know or understand what a sibling is going through. Things aren’t always as they appear.
I read this story  in one sitting because I had to find out what would happen to Brooke and the kids.  Steady pace that kept my interest from beginning to end. I can’t wait to read more from this series!!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
