Although I’m an author myself, I’m not sure I can explain how I felt the moment I started reading Burning Hearts, Book One in her Sanctuary Point Series). I was not born yet when our soldiers came home from WW2, but her characters, the plot, and her words drew me in and I was in my great-grandmother’s kitchen, saw my grandmother’s dresses, and heart my uncle in one of the men’s voices.I understood Erika’s attraction to the handsome war hero, Lorne and his Harley. It was easy to get involved enough to hope for them to heal from their wounds and find happiness. And her bad guys, are bad enough the only hope I felt for them was that they’d get caught.In Burning Hearts the author combines romance, mystery, tension, with a touch of authentic faith.Nike Chillemi writes the way a good Benny Goodman tune sounds . . . there is swing, beat, and a distinct melody that stays with the reader long after the book ends.I’m looking forward to Perilous Shadows, book two in the series.
