Safe In His Arms (Life Unexpected, #1)

by Melanie D Snitker

[phyllish]

Safe in His Arms is a great romantic suspense story. Anastasia is running from a controlling and abusive ex-boyfriend (there are no details – this is not a violent story). Thinking she covered her tracks, she ends up in a small town looking for work in Joel’s diner. Joel is an orphan who lived in foster homes a good portion of his life.

The balance between romance and suspense was very well done. The pace of the story was steady and appropriate. And the characters were endearing, especially Epic, Anna’s Grand Pyrenees.

There are references to God and prayer in this story, so if you are offended by the least mention, this isn’t a story for you, but it is not preachy nor are the mentions prevalent.
