From Library Journal
When detective Larry Millsaps is called in to investigate a rape, he finds enough evidence to convince him that he has an open-and-shut case. He soon discovers, however, that rape victim Melissa Nelson may have planted the evidence in a vengeful plot to convict the rapist, who killed her sister. Although Millsaps cannot condone what Melissa has done, neither can he avoid emotional entanglement with her. Former ABA romance writer Blackstock (Cornerstone, Zondervan, 1995) spins a suspenseful tale of God's mercy and love. Recommended for most libraries.

Customer Reviews

A great read
How does one cope with grief after the tragic loss of a loved one? In Melissa's case, REVENGE. Blackstock does a great job of showing that Christians are human and have to deal with the problems of life like anyone else. The difference is how a Christian, like Detective Larry Millsaps, deals with those problems. Not only is the story great, but also having a great Christian law enforcement officer as the protagonist was wonderful--not a lot of writers could carry that off the way that Blackstock can. The only thing lacking in this story is that it has not yet been made a movie of the week!

Back sliding? Not for long after reading this book!
Of the four books in this series, this book had the most impact on me. Sad to say that my Christian walk was not up to what it should be, but after reading this book, and watching Larry and Melissa struggle and wrestle with the Lord, I became convicted. I feel this book was brought to my attention to make me realize that Christ needs to be the center of my life again, and his grace is truely amazing. Thank you Terri for writing such a great eye opening book!

Fast Paced and Exciting
I could not put this book down. Very fast paced, suspenceful, and plenty of great Christian lessons that we can all learn. Liked the romance in the book and love having characters in this story from the previous book. It is fun to see the characters again, see how they are doing. I feel like I know the characters that Terri just brings to life.
