REVIEW: EXPIRED RETURN by Lisa Phillips

Marji Laine, here! 

I spent a delightful Saturday evening with a riveting, non-stop suspense by Lisa Phillips. Lisa is an icon in the Christian fiction industry as a USA Today and top ten Publishers Weekly bestselling author. So I was so excited to settle down with the first book of her “Last Chance Fire and Rescue” series.

And I was NOT disappointed. EXPIRED RETURN begins with a quick ramp up of tension when Pepper Miller visits the police department to make a report. It was quickly obvious that the officers there had a deep dislike for her. So much so, that she almost couldn’t request help in finding her missing sister.

That is, until the man whose heart she’d broken arrived. Can you say, “amping up the tension?”

From there, the action, the twists, and the suspense (and the romance!) just don’t stop. I chuckled many times through this and certainly shed tears. I have to tell you, Pepper’s niece, Victory, becomes the darling of the story. Spunky and clever, the child is adorable! And I could also tell that it is a spin off from another series that I will definitely be looking into!

I highly recommend this book for suspense lovers! However, I don’t whole-heartedly recommend the audible recording. The narrator isn’t bad, but there were a few issues with the book that were a bit annoying. Thankfully, it didn’t hurt the story one little bit!

Here’s the description of EXPIRED RETURN:

Fire. Family. Faith.

A wounded hero. A woman in danger. Forced proximity protection and a family they both need…But can he keep them safe?

She’ll give everything to protect her family.

Pepper Miller is a veterinary tech living a peaceful life in Last Chance County. However, when her sister becomes involved in a dangerous drug deal and her niece's safety is at risk, Pepper will stop at nothing to protect the people she loves…even if it costs her most precious secret.

He always knew she was the one.

Fire Department liaison Allen Frees might be in a wheelchair, but he’s putting his life back together…the only thing missing is the woman he loves. When she needs his help, he’s not going to blow this second chance…No matter the sacrifice.

But when are the sacrifices too high?

A romantic suspense with a found family, a woman in danger, forced proximity, a protector hero and a sacrificial love that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
