Beautiful Imperfection

It wasn't until I started reading that I realized that this book was a Christian fiction novel as due to the content it was quite an edgy read. The book starts with our main character Teddy going out on a blind date with her friends as she has finally been cleared and in remission from her breast cancer after she had a mastectomy. Her friends believe this is what she needs to make herself feel beautiful again. Unfortunately, the night will end in disaster and tragedy as the club they picked ends up being the scene of a mass shooting. Her friend Linda's husband ends up being among the casualties. Teddy and a fellow Marine have been hailed as heroes as they managed to stop the shooter Jack Sprague. It is here that Teddy will meet a blast from her past - Detective Sloan Michaels who was Teddy's first love and the guy whom she never got over after he dumped her without explanation. Sloan has never stopped loving Teddy and sees this as his second chance. However, he will have to make sure she can survive first as during the majority of the book - the remaining witnesses, the ones who were going to testify are being killed one by one and it looks like Teddy is next on the hit list. Can Sloan and his partner Raven figure out who is behind the hit list and why the killing spree happened in the first place as turns out Jack Sprague is just another random hired gunman? I have to admit for me this is where the book fell short, the reasoning behind all the senseless murders especially the way the book ended in terms of the killings that happened. Will Teddy after all this finally get her HEA that she deserves or will her life be cut short by a killer? Cancer couldn't kill her but will a gun? Find out in Kathryn J. Bain's Edgy Romantic Suspense / Christian Fiction "Beautiful Imperfection".
