Review: Wounded Heroes Book Three: Betrayal
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 5, 2013
This is the third book in the Wounded Heroes series, and my favorite! It stands alone, you don't have to read the first two books.  But I really recommend that you do.  Number one, they're great books! Number two, because Anne ties in some of the characters from the first two books of the series.I love Anne Patrick's books.  Her books are not just a romance and they're not just a mystery.  She combines a true mystery, a whodunit, and then adds romance and faith.  It works!!!I mentioned that Betrayal was my favorite of the series so far. I'm not sure if it was the characters that kept me picking my Kindle back up or the mystery itself.Sergeant Drew Presley is just out of the military and is trying to solve his wife's murder and raise his little boy. Trudy Walsh is his little boy's teacher and is in a relationship that is going nowhere. Trudy was also Drew's wife's best friend. Together Drew and Trudy unravel the mystery and fall in love.  But it's so much more than that!Sometimes a faith based romance glosses over the relationship between the two lead characters. Anne gave Trudy and Drew strong personalities and a wonderful romance.  I was cheering them on all the way!The setting for the story is Dauphine Island which is off the coast of Maine.  The characters, the pizza parlor, the church, all made the village come alive. I could almost smell the pizza!!!Near the end of the book I realized I didn't want the story to end. I wanted more of the island and it's people. So I was so excited when I saw that book 4 is coming out in November!!! I can't wait!Drew's and Trudy's story touched my heart, I feel that Betrayal is one of Anne's best works to date.  If you're thinking about starting a new book, this is the one to read. I think you'll love Dauphine Island and it's people as much as I do.
