Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

You can’t watch your own back. 

Private Investigator Avery Reynolds leads the charge to expose Tampa's supposedly “extinct” mob. The crime boss responsible for her foster brother’s death is within her grasp—until she hits a wall in the form of Ethan Bridger, a Coast Guard veteran who unknowingly derails her sting operation. When the elusive “Big Eddie” comes out of hiding, he targets their mutual friends about to tie the knot. 

Avery sets aside her angst toward Ethan to focus on ending the crime boss’s reign of terror. But working together exposes her trust issues and his PTSD stemming from a comrade's tragedy. When Avery goes solo into a prisoner exchange operation, she discovers her vulnerability too late—and must lean on Ethan and the God she thought had abandoned her. But will that help reach her in time?  

 Romantic Suspense novels are a favorite genre of mine. Watch Your Back by Kristen Hogrefe Parnell is Book 3 in the Crossroads Suspense series. I have read the other books in this series and I was excited to see that Book 3 in now available. 

WOW, this storyline is probably my favorite in the series. The 2 main charcters in this book are Avery Reynolds and Ethan Bridger. Avery is a Private Investigator and she has been trying to solve the case of her Foster Brother's death. She almost has "Big Eddie" but her case takes a turn when "Big Eddie" kidnaps Avery's godchild, the young son of her friends. Ethan, who is a Coast Guard Veteran steps in to help get the young boy back and to protect Avery and the friends. I really LOVE how protective Ethan is and how he wants to make sure everyone remains saft throughout the ordeal. The relationship between Avery and Ethan is interesting. They both have some "baggage" that needs to be addressed and they rely on their faith and God to get them through. I really LOVE that Ethan is very strong in his faith and helps Avery come back to the faith. I was absolutely thrilled with this book and encouraged by the faith in this book. The book has many twists and turn that also keep me intrigued to keep reading. The book is packed full of Action, Romance, Mystery, and Faith. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Romantic Suspense Novels! AMAZING BOOK!
