Suspense-filled, action-packed, richly detailed in FBI procedure, and yet romantic—how can one book pack so much while ratchetting tension with every page? Add to that the honest struggle to maintain faith in God through journeys of deep grief and learning to give and receive forgiveness under the most excruciating circumstances. Set within a heart-wrenching investigation to stop the buying and selling of newborns, Facing the Enemy is a heart stopping read. It should come with this warning: Don’t begin reading at bedtime. You’ll be up all night!

I loved this book! The story flowed smoothly, and the characters were well-developed. The love story between Risa and Gage unfolded perfectly. DiAnn Mills spins masterful stories and knows how to keep just the right amount of suspense. I highly recommend this book.

Another great read from DiAnn Mills. Loved the characters and the mystery. This book grips you from the start and I had a hard time putting it down. I would recommend this book to romantic suspense readers.

I have enjoyed all the novels I have read by DIANN MILLS and FACING THE ENEMY is no exception. This brilliant romantic thriller is also inspirational as the author deals with such topics as unconditional love, forgiveness, courage, and the importance of never separating oneself from God, who is the “only source of life and healing.” I particularly like the way we are given insight into the characters’ emotions as they battle with grief, guilt and sometimes confusion, as is the case with Carson Lowell, one of Risa’s most talented students.
On the dark side there is murder, human trafficking and the abduction and selling of babies, with crooked lawyers and adoption agencies taking advantage of the most vulnerable.
Risa Jacobs and Gage Patterson are special agents and partners in the Houston FBI but when Risa’s brother Trenton is killed in a hit and run, after pushing her to safety, she feels guilty and leaves the FBI and works as an English professor, pulling away from Gage and her parents to keep them safe…….
There is a great deal more to the story but I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Tyndale House Publishers. The opinions in this reiew are completely my own.

:"Facing the Enemy" is another great thriller by DiAnn Mills. This book hooked me from the first page. I had a hard time putting this one down! I loved the main characters, Risa and Gage's chemistry. This book had a twist I never saw coming. I highly recommend this novel. It is a good, clean, romantic suspense.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This is a new standalone novel written by Diann Mills. It is filled with suspense, mystery, romance and a gruesome scenario! Fortunately the author doesn't go into too much detail on that one@

The novel is written in first person, If I'm honest, I find that sort of perspective harder to get into but that is personal preference and it shouldn't stop you reading the novel. I did like the plot twists I have to say and the concurrent cases. I liked how they interweaved with the overall story. It was well done.

I receive complimentary books for various sources including, Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation.

A brother she hadn’t heard from in years, a call to meet.
Was it just the need of his FBI sister to bail him out again.
Her faith, and her dream he was on the right track.
She didn’t notice the car, her training and her faith was it now lost.
Gage the comfort he gave her and others in the office.
A note saying to resign, why was she the one someone wanted.
A chilling plot, seeking justice, yet someone wanted revenge instead.
A winner for readers of this author not to be missed.
