Danger around every corner。
Jason makes it his mission to keep Addison safe， but keeping her out of his heart proves impossible。 As the threats increase， there’s no room for mistakes。 Will his calculated risk pay off or will it end in tragedy？

Christian romance， suspense， actionThis book features Jason and Addison who both have broken parts to their lives。 Someone is trying to kill Addison and Jason and his friends work to save her。 It is sprinkled with a Christian message which I enjoyed。 I didn't like the way it jumped from the dramatic scene at the end to 3 weeks later without showing a few pages of the aftermath of the "battle。" It is an enjoyable book and of course I loved the dog。 Christian romance， suspense， actionThis book features Jason and Addison who both have broken parts to their lives。 Someone is trying to kill Addison and Jason and his friends work to save her。 It is sprinkled with a Christian message which I enjoyed。 I didn't like the way it jumped from the dramatic scene at the end to 3 weeks later without showing a few pages of the aftermath of the "battle。" It is an enjoyable book and of course I loved the dog。 。。。more

The first book in the Triumph Over Adversity series a well written story that kept me turning pages。 Addison Foster and Jason Gonzalez come together when he comes to her aid， two very damaged people that need each other to heal。 I want to read the next book。 I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

4。5 stars。This is book one in the Triumph over Adversity series and if the rest of the series is as good as this， then it's going to be a really good series indeed。 The plot is well thought out with twists and turns to hold your interest， it had me guessing and second guessing in places。 I loved the relationships between Addy， Jason and their pets， the friendships shown in this and the way that their faith was simple a part of them。 They both had pasts that shaped who they were but were brave en 4。5 stars。This is book one in the Triumph over Adversity series and if the rest of the series is as good as this， then it's going to be a really good series indeed。 The plot is well thought out with twists and turns to hold your interest， it had me guessing and second guessing in places。 I loved the relationships between Addy， Jason and their pets， the friendships shown in this and the way that their faith was simple a part of them。 They both had pasts that shaped who they were but were brave enough to trust in God and to form good， strong relationships with good and strong people。I liked seeing Addy and Jason's relationship develop and grow， I liked seeing the faith， trust and strength they had in each other， a foundation to build a good， strong and loving relationship on。 When I got to the end I wanted to spend more time with them and see what happens next， I hope I get to see some of this in the rest of the series。 I am very much looking forward to reading book two now。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This is a well written action packed story with strong characters and an entertaining story line。 The author pulled me in right from the start and had me glued to the pages up to the last page with all the twists and steamy romance。 She moves the story fluidly with her descriptive writing painting her scenes perfectly。 I enjoyed reading their story。I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 All opinions in this review are my own and freely given。

First of all—I wouldn’t recommend starting this book if you can’t plot down to read it for a bit。 I totally got myself caught up in it and had a hard time getting back to work。 There is action from start to finish and some great twists that will definitely leave you guessing。 You get two souls who have at one point had the weight of the world on their shoulders （and still do sometimes）， but whom have the purest hearts。 I really enjoyed this bookI received a free copy of this book via Booksprout First of all—I wouldn’t recommend starting this book if you can’t plot down to read it for a bit。 I totally got myself caught up in it and had a hard time getting back to work。 There is action from start to finish and some great twists that will definitely leave you guessing。 You get two souls who have at one point had the weight of the world on their shoulders （and still do sometimes）， but whom have the purest hearts。 I really enjoyed this bookI received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

After downloading this book to my kindle， I realized the author tagged it as an inspirational romance。 Being an atheist， I debated what to do and decided to give it a try anyway because how bad could it be。 The story does have the characters praying and looking to a god for answers。 That being said， those small parts were easy to skip over as the author doesn't try to convert anyone with in your face preaching。 Religion aside， the book still rates four stars with plenty of action and suspense。Ad After downloading this book to my kindle， I realized the author tagged it as an inspirational romance。 Being an atheist， I debated what to do and decided to give it a try anyway because how bad could it be。 The story does have the characters praying and looking to a god for answers。 That being said， those small parts were easy to skip over as the author doesn't try to convert anyone with in your face preaching。 Religion aside， the book still rates four stars with plenty of action and suspense。Addy was once a victim of domestic violence and now is an attorney helping others in a similar situation。 The author doesn't hide why she is being targeted， but does give the reader pause as to how and who is actually carrying out the continued assaults。 Jason has designated himself as her protector， but is dealing with his own history of violence in the form of PTSD。 Both characters are strong for each other and the suspense keeps the story moving at a fast pace to their HEA。 。。。more

I loved that this book was action packed suspense from start to finish。 Two heart hurt people find purpose with life through God and life and death situations。 I also love that Ms。 Shannon incorporated God and religion in a body of work in which I think a lot of people try to steer away from。 If your ok with hearing a little bit about God and purpose in your reading， being entertained from start to finish then check this out-get it。😉Happy reading 🙋🏽♀️

Sweet yet suspenseful:The mystery and suspense drew me in from the very beginning and I was kept engaged by the many twists and turns。 Danger abounded and there was quite a lot of violence， yet it was told in such a way that this still felt like a sweet， happy book。Both Jason and Addison were likeable characters and my heart went out to them as they had suffered much in their lives。 I was so happy to see them find healing and restoration。I liked the message about trusting God and leaning on Him Sweet yet suspenseful:The mystery and suspense drew me in from the very beginning and I was kept engaged by the many twists and turns。 Danger abounded and there was quite a lot of violence， yet it was told in such a way that this still felt like a sweet， happy book。Both Jason and Addison were likeable characters and my heart went out to them as they had suffered much in their lives。 I was so happy to see them find healing and restoration。I liked the message about trusting God and leaning on Him during the healing process and being willing to open oneself up to what He may have in store for you。 Overall this was a fabulous book and I look forward to reading upcoming books in this new and exciting series。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Jason has a lot of love to give， but he needs to give some to himself first and let go and forgive。 Addison is a great match for him。 This is a fast paced mystery suspense that keeps you wondering what will happen next。
