Book Summary

Her enemy will stop at nothing for control...she will risk everything for freedom.

A horrific crime shatters Lisa Harper's idyllic childhood. Her father is dead and her desperate mother, Annie, quickly marries Dutch Hauk, an abusive monster who soon reveals his hatred for Lisa. To protect her, Annie defies her ruthless husband and forfeits custody to a trusted friend. Enraged, Dutch vows to keep Annie and Lisa apart--and he does. Years later, though keenly aware of Dutch's evil intent, Lisa and her mother seize a chance to be a family, safe in a home where love dwells. But they fail to fathom how far Dutch will go to keep his vow.

Determined to control his women, Dutch proves resourceful. His associates in crime are feared at the highest levels across the globe--and for Lisa they plan a fate worse than death. Yet she too has formidable connections, including former Special Operations Officer Mark Taylor. Burdened by his own traumatic past, Mark has loved Lisa from afar. Now, for Lisa and her mother to survive, Mark must risk his life--and even more difficult for him, he must trust God. All as one question haunts them: Can Mark and Lisa untangle these deadly ties before it's too late?

My Review

This book was right up my alley; excitement to the very end of the book. Deadly Ties is a suspenseful story with a ton of faith messages hidden and unhidden throughout for the characters as well as the reader. A cast of loving and evil characters all intertwined into one edge-of-your-seat story about a young girl's life of pain and loss that she makes herself forget, but is forced to remember in her adult life. Living a life with a tormenting step-father who keeps her from her mother much of her entire life. The terror of this man and his contacts are way too much for one woman to handle. Can she better the future for herself and her mother by reliving the past? I would definitely suggest this book to anyone who loves the kind of book that you just can't put down!
