I just looked back and saw it’s been a whole year since I published a “Great Weekend Reads” post. I’ve read quite a few books, but have been holding out on you in the recommendation department. Well, now I’m making up for it–here is a three-fer, a series from the talented Kariss Lynch.
Book 1: Shaken. Recent college graduate Kaylan, marred by a tragic loss, wants safety more than anything–for herself and for everyone she cares about. But Nick, the man she’s growing to love, is a Navy SEAL. His team can never guarantee they will survive any given mission.
Book 2: Shadowed. Nick’s SEAL team is hot on the trail of a dangerous and slippery terrorist. But who’s chasing whom? And why does it seem Kaylan’s life is the one in peril?
Book 3: Surrendered. Kaylan really, really needs to learn to trust–challenging as that is, with Nick off on an extraordinarily dangerous mission just weeks before their wedding.
This whole series is remarkably captivating. I love the way the main characters hold strong faith, but struggle with tough emotions–no plastic smiles here. The mix of community, family, and romance in the story anchor us readers as we bite our nails through danger after danger. Altogether, Heart of a Warrior gets my enthusiastic recommendation as a Great Weekend Read — maybe even three weekends! You can pick up all three books via her website – click here to visit her!
Thanks for reading,
Jan

Where the Light Fell – Philip Yancey’s powerful memoir about growing up with an unstable and abusive (and conflicted) mother and a musical genius brother. It was a stark reminder that regardless of how far we’ve come, there are influences that will always impact us, one way or another.
