After the Thaw

Frozen Footprints, Book 2

By: Therese Heckenkamp

Narrated by: Em Eldridge

Some wounds heal. Others leave scars.

Four years ago, Charlene Perigard survived a brutal kidnapping. Now, at 22, she's put that trauma behind her for a promising future with handsome firefighter Ben Jorgensen. But when new trauma strikes, a new nightmare begins.

Sinister threats, a midnight attack, and a deathbed promise drive Charlene to the little town of Creekside, where she encounters a man from her past whom she has long struggled to forget: Clay Morrow - ex-convict and brother of her kidnapper. He's also the man who once helped save her life.

Despite the odds, Charlene and Clay forge a tentative friendship, unaware of a brooding, mounting danger that seeks to destroy them both. Charlene's wounded heart must choose between her fiance and the man whose past is more scarred than her own. But in choosing, she may just lose everything.

Story line

I enjoyed this book very much. I enjoyed how the story line unfolded. I am not a fan of this author.

OMGosh.

Again with the nonstop action, suspense, and even more violence than the first book.

I admit I had to finish the two books but during the epilogue I stop the recording and a prayer of thanks for the happy ending to the story as I was about to go to bed. After my night time prayer I listened to end.
I won’t be reading anymore from this author. It’s just to secular as far as all violence, and crazy hate of so many of the characters. So very many hating enemies. It’s just too much for me. I don’t like filling my mind with that kind of thing. It made me feel as if the author was trying to work through some horrible evils done to her.

Thank you for the constant prayer references and the Bible verses throughout the two volumes.
God bless.
