Once Jack learns Harper&#8217;s secrets he convinces her to return to Maryland with him to face the police with the truth before Derrick catches up to them.<\/p>\n<p>Well-developed characters and plot made this series one that I didn&#8217;t want to put down but I was grateful to have copies of all three books so that I didn&#8217;t have to wait to find out what happened next. Jack and Harper faced more than enough danger along their journey back because in addition to Derrick, an unidentified killer also wants them dead. Unexpected twists and surprises kept me in suspense until the very end.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed this skillful blend of drama, suspense, romance, and faith. I am glad I had the opportunity to review this series and recommend it to those who enjoy Christian suspense novels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by Just Read Tours.

Her books are often set in New England, where she grew up. She creates strong, protective heroes and intelligent, courageous heroines.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from her family and her Savior, Robin Patchen has two loves\u2014writing and traveling. If she could combine them, she\u2019d spend a lot of time sitting in front of her laptop at sidewalk cafes and ski lodges and beachside burger joints. She\u2019d visit every place in the entire world\u2014twice, if possible\u2014and craft stories and tell people about her Savior. Alas, time is too short and money is too scarce for Robin to traipse all over the globe, even if her husband and kids wanted to go with her. So she stays in Oklahoma, shares the Good News when she can, and writes to illustrate the unending grace of God through the power and magic of story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MY REVIEW: Beauty in Battle is the suspense-filled conclusion to Robin Patchen&#8217;s Beauty in Flight trilogy.
