FIRESTORM: A NOVEL

Reviewed by Kay Tire

Excitement, risk, romance, suspense, trauma, victory, and the potential to repeat it all – Jeanette Windle’s FIRESTORM covers time and distance, embracing the gamut of emotion. Sara can’t remember when she last felt safe – not since she’d discovered that her new family members were not entrepreneurs, but drug dealers; and her handsome husband, a murderer. Escaping her nightmare in Bolivia, Sara relies heavily on rescuer DEA agent Doug Bradford, until she realizes her need to heal and grow, tearing free from a would-be relationship. Could she ever consider a life with such an agent – with the fear of the unknown and his daily risks? After a vacation to the Pacific Northwest, a self-defense course, and a boost of confidence Sara settles in to what she thinks to be routine. Until she meets her enemy again, this time in her homeland. What motivates one to risk all for another? Where does Sara find the strength to go on? Windle gracefully weaves a storyline that draws the reader through terror, romance, travel, and right into the mind of a terrorist.
