~ for the kickoff of the US golf season. Not that I enjoy watching golf, I don’t. But hubby does. So you know what that means. I enjoyed an afternoon kicking back in my recliner with a great book! Mmm…
~ sausage and pineapple pizza. Yummy! 
~ that second when the sun glides up over the horizon, hurling the darkness away and ushering light in, feeling that sense of awe, realizing I didn’t have a thing to do with it. How great is our God?
~ North Carolina. The land flowing with milk and honey. And Carolina blue skies…

My Review of AFTER THE FIRE by Clare Revell

/ Dora Hiers / 10 Comments

What a wild ride in After The Fire!
Meet Freddie Flynn, a maverick Private Investigator battling bitterness and blaming God for her broken relationship, and Jason Bryant, an ex-missionary pilot who takes a position working in “Uncle” Edwin’s private investigative firm.
Ms. Revell did a great job setting up the conflict between Freddie and Jason. Shocked to see a file showing Freddie’s name linked with betrayal and corruption within the private investigative firm, Jason determines to prove her innocence. Freddie is not thrilled that Jason is now her boss, but she likes it even less when Jason forces her to work with him on a case.
Ms. Revell created a sweet romance within a beautiful setting, but don’t let that fool you. There’s plenty of action in this book as Freddie and Jason work to uncover the truth. Just when you think you’re near “The End,” Ms. Revell pulls out a few more surprises. Five stars for After The Fire!

After The Fire releases with White Rose Publishing on February 17th.
