A Time To Die

Well I'm feeling like an idiot because it turns out that this is a series but I'm guessing it is the first one. It doesn't seem like a series although I'll have to admit that I don't object to the idea. I just found Beverly by chance when I was in the B section of the library. Yes I actually was looking through the aisles. I was actually looking for something else but once again a name jumped out at me and it sounded interesting after I peeked at the back which I sometimes do if I've never heard of the author.

Lexie was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was a rookie reporter sent to Gadi to film the inauguration of a new president. What she had no clue about was a team of soldiers that were sent in to kill this dictator. She got caught in the crossfire. Now ten years have passed and she's gotten on with her life. Her past ends up catching up with her when she starts getting targeted by a mad bomber who feels she should have died that day. I'm proud to announce that I was able to figure out who it was. Go me.

I've never seen romantic suspense although I'll admit to not always looking at the spine to see what it says. So it is a romance which I really don't read but it adds in the suspense element so it isn't all about Thor sticking his bulging shaft into Flora's maidenhood or whatever. The creepy thing is that this book while fiction could actually be non fiction because there are wackos like the bad guy in this book. He thinks he's on a holy mission for Allah. That just sucks for the non insanos that just happen to be that religion. So Lexie is targeted for a non reason which means she needs a bodyguard.

Helping Hands is Lexie's charity that she works at with Cara so when psycho strikes bodyguards are called in. Little does Lexie know that Deke is the man who shot her at least he thinks he did. Talk about a small world. Now it is a race against the clock to find the person before anyone else gets hurt not to mention the big plans the Majeed has for the town which isn't anything good obviously. I did enjoy the book and I'll be looking for the other books although I might have them. It just seems like these two were destined to meet and it is a bit romantic how the guy disobeyed orders to save the girl. I'm not sure if this is a series series or a series. Now scratch your head and wonder about what I just said.
