Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Someone wants to kill her. She wants the killer to finish the job.

Spring Weston will do anything to rise in the ranks of pro cycling and prove she isn’t the one failure of the five Weston siblings. Anything except cheat. When she learns of doping on her cycling team, she’s determined to uncover the truth. But she can’t if she’s dead.

Sergeant Torin Cotter may not be the hero the public thinks he is, but he recognizes fear when he sees it. When he takes over the investigation of the collision that landed Spring in the hospital, he’s compelled to protect her from whatever danger she’s in, even though he knows he might fail. Again.

Spring’s faith in God isn’t enough to help her face the living nightmare she awakened to after the accident. But neither she nor the handsome sergeant see the greater threat that’s coming until it’s too late.

If they’re going to survive, Spring and Torin will not only have to confront their worst fears—they’ll have to find a reason to live.

Waylaid is the first installment in the thrilling Windy City Westons series that features five siblings who encounter danger and love in the city of Chicago.

Christian Romance Suspense is an intriguing genre. Waylaid by Jerusha Agen is Book 1 in the Windy City Westons series. I have read many of Jerusha Agen books and I am intrigued by this new series.

I have to say that one of the reasons I am very intrigued by this series is that it is set in Chicago. I am a Born, Raised and still live in Chicago area girl! I also like that the series will feature 5 Siblings and their encounters of LOVE and Danger in the City of Chicago.

WOW, this series certainly started off with an intriguing storyline. The 2 main characters in this book are Spring Weston and Sergeant Torin Cotter. Spring LOVES participating in the Pro Cycling circuit and wants to go further up the ranks. Spring wants to be honest in her racing, so when she discovers some of the other racers are part of a "doping circle", she wants to know the truth. Spring ends up in the Hospital due to a vehicle hitting her while out Cycling. The investigator assigned to her case is Sergeant Torin Cotter. He gets to know Spring and her situation and wants to protect her from further danger. I was truly in awe of Spring and Torin, as they grew a relationship outside of the Investigation. Spring's faith in God was struggling due to everything going on in life and the Cycling Community. Torin is struggling with life and PTSD due to seeing his wife being killed right in front of him. I LOVE that they both begin to rely on God to help them through the struggles and God uplifts them and the relationship. Torin never thought he could LOVE again and Spring definitely changed things. The book has many twists and turns, which kept me on the edge of my seat. The book is one of Mystery, Faith and LOVE. GREAT BOOK!
