The Stronghold

To be honest this book was hard to rate, It is not the typical Christian Romance novel. In fact some of the content may not be suitable for all ages and people. This novel deals with kidnaping of young girls, rape, murder, cutting and the after effects of them all, some things are given very detailed information. There is a lot about the American Indian culture and Mexican cartel as well. That being said this is a christian romance novel woven throughout all the drama and American Indian culture. It is not easy reading, in fact I was lost during the first part of this book. It does all come to light before the end of the book, but it is a bit confusing. There is surprise, mystery, heartache, secrets, forgiveness and love throughout this novel. Pilar To-Clanny has been through much in her life, while trying to solve a crime with the least expected man she ever expected to see again, she must learn to face her past to be able to embrace her future. Pilar is a very determined, strong willed Apache woman filled with heartache and secrets. She has been through more than anyone should have to face but will she have to endure more just to save the ones she loves? FBI Special Agent Alex Torres must come face to face with his past and help solve a crime all while trying to keep the one he loves the most safe. Will Pilar ever be able to forgive him and will he be the testimony that she needs or will his faith be tested more than he can endure. I was given a copy of this novel from net galley for my honest opinion.
