I have been waiting a year to read DOUBLE CROSS by James
David Jordan.And can I say . . . It was
definitely worth the wait!
The sequel to FORSAKEN, DOUBLE CROSS continues the story of Taylor
Pasbury, ex-secret service turned private security agent.In FORSAKEN, Taylor is left devastated by the
death of Simon Mason, a televangelist she was hired to protect, but whose
relationship turned into so much more.In
DOUBLE CROSS, we see the incredible bond Taylor has forged with Mason's
daughter, Kacey.We also watch as Taylor
struggles with her new-found Christianity.In her heart or hearts she wants to live a redeemed life as a testament
to Mason's impact on her life.But old
habits die hard and she finds herself continuing to struggle with personal
choices.
Things quickly heat up when Elise Hovden, Simon's former top
assistant is found dead by apparent suicide.But it doesn't add up to Taylor.Yes, Elise was about to turn herself in for embezzlement, and was
emotionally distraught over Simon's death, but why would she arrange for a
meeting with Taylor if she was just going to off herself?Instinctively, Taylor does some digging.And what she finds out is more than she
bargained for.Add that together with
the reappearance of her mother that abandoned her at the age of nine, and
Taylor soon finds herself on overload with a killer close on her heels.
I don't know what it is about Jordan's writing that so thoroughly
captives me, but it does.Normally drawn
to the romance genre, I always wish for more to happen romantically in Taylor's
life, but I'm never disappointed with the story.FORSAKEN is a great novel for both the male
and female reader.Kudos to James David
Jordan.He's done it again!♥
