CFBA: Fatal Loyalty by Sue Duffy

MY TAKE:

Sue's book hooked me right away. The plot is unique and compelling and the characters are so well formed. Agent Vic cracked me up, I love the idea of a semi-retired agent whose house boarders on hording and she lives in crazy house dresses, yet still has the grit to whip out her gun and take down the bad guys. All with heart and Christian insight too. And she's not even the main character.

In addition to great characters, her description of Florida was great. I've never been south of Mississippi, so it was like taking the ultimate vacation and reading a great suspense at the same time. I could see the colors and the crazy characters, smell the flowers and breathe the muggy air. It was so real. Great read.



ABOUT THE BOOK:

Where do you run when you know you cannot hide?

Andie Ryborg has nowhere else to go. Her father's campaign for governor and his aggressive war on drugs has chased her from their family home. Drawn to Miami's exotic Coconut Grove, Andie hopes to find a quiet refuge where she can discover herself apart from the public eye. But even in that seclusion, even with an officer assigned to protect her, Andie's privacy has been violated. Someone is watching

Evan Markham's entire life has been a tug-of-war between what is and what could be. He is drawn to a life that is beyond his reach and emotions have clouded his judgment. Evan knows that earning someone's trust isn't easy, especially when he plans to break it. But in the secret corridors of the criminal underworld, he knows what must be done, and he is determined to see it through. Whatever the cost

When enemies close in, a sudden turn of events leaves them both questioning. Where is God in all of this? Who is this enigmatic stranger who offers to help? They both know their lives are in danger. But what about their hearts?

April, I wish I could take you on a tour of Miami myself. You seem to appreciate the setting so much. Thanks for such a glowing review of my book. Look for the sequel next year and another unrelated novel coming out in Fall 2011. Also my Web site: sueduffybooks.com.
Thanks again,
Sue Duffy

A sequel, that's fantastic, Sue. I can't wait. I'd love to see the Miami area. Except for the snakes. Those ya'll can keep. Otherwise, it sounds amazing. :)
