Jeanne's Cyberspot for Reading Response: The Chase

The Chase

by Susan Wales and Robin Shope
lent to me by Kim Enfield
paperback, 363 pages

Interesting thriller / romance
My favorite part was the last section when all the pieces started coming together. Some of it was a bit over-wrought and almost melodramatic. It was also hard to conceive of someone who was a hard-hitting investigative reporter deciding she was ready for a small-town sedate life so quickly. I liked the character of Craig, of course. I'm a sucker for the handsome, wonderful man who happens to be a faithful believer. I also loved the scene when Jill decided to surrender her life to the Lord. Christmas is a great time to get to know Christ!
