Fatal Frost

Defenders of Justice, Book 1

De: Nancy Mehl

Narrado por: Carly Robins

Mercy Brennan followed in her father's footsteps in a law enforcement career, but she has no interest in any other connection to him. A US Marshal in St. Louis, Missouri, she's assigned to a joint task force with the St. Louis PD that puts her back into contact with her father and in the sights of St. Louis's most powerful gang.

When the gang has reason to believe Mercy has possession of some highly sensitive and incriminating information, her boss assigns Mark St. Laurent - a Deputy US Marshal and Mercy's ex-boyfriend - to get her out of town until they can guarantee her safety.

Initially unaware of the danger she's in and uncomfortable working with Mark, Mercy's frustration escalates when she discovers the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her in the dark. It isn't until a freak ice storm hits, stranding them at a remote location and out of contact with the district office, that the full severity of their situation becomes clear. As the storm worsens, the forces of nature combine with a deadly enemy closing in to put their lives at imminent risk. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive - if help is even coming at all?

Good overall

I did not like the narration of characters voices. Flow is a bit slow but I enjoyed the overall story.

Surprises

Nancy Mehl must be a Christian and I like that. I’m used to the “down and do” crime stories. This book was a good one.

fantastic book

loved it. can't wait to read the rest of the series. I know they will be as good.

good story

kind of took the long way around the plot, but it was a good story. not up to the same level as her other series

Saving Mercy

As a US Marshal Mercy Brennan is used to finding herself in the line of fire when protecting witnesses. But when her father is killed she finds that she is the one in need of protection.

A deadly cartel teams up with St. Louis's most powerful gang to retrieve a flash drive they think she has in her possession. Her boss assigns Deputy US Marshal Mark St. Lauren, her ex-boyfriend along with her best friend with the task of getting her to safety.

The task of guarding her is complicated by secrets and lies, unresolved feelings, a mole in the Marshals and a freak ice storm stranding them at a remote location.

As the storm worsens and a deadly enemy closes it may take an act of god to save Mercy.

I enjoyed listening to this romantic suspense for free with Audible Escape. My only complaint would be that imo there was a bit to much God in the book. Fortunately it did not detract from the interesting characters and exciting plot.
