A little girl in peril…
And a killer in pursuit
Accepting help from Jack Moretta is widow Ava Colburn’s last chance after her late husband’s killers track her down and target her little girl. But after years on the run, it’s hard to trust anyone else with their lives—and even harder to trust Jack with her secrets. Could he be just what this little family needs to put the deadly past behind them?
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
Shielding the Tiny Target by Deena Alexander is a fast-moving inspirational mystery filled with suspense, romance, and finding a family.
Will Ava allow Jack to help her save her daughter?
Ava/Angelina
Our heroine is Ava (her assumed name); she has a little girl Missy, who is filled with curiosity and finds trouble. Ava has been running from the people that murdered her husband. However, she doesn’t know who or why they are after her other than her husband’s proof of an arsonist before he was murdered. Life has not been kind to Ava, but she copes by keeping her faith and caring for her daughter.
I like that she is trying to give her daughter a good life with friends and a good home. She is a good mom with lots of patience as Missy is quite a troublemaker. Ava is working to buy a business and has made her rental a home. However, she hasn’t dealt with her past. So, when the past comes calling, she doesn’t know how to stop it. Ava has great compassion and respect for others.
Fireman Jack
Jack is our hero. He has his own trust issues but seems to be working through them. Jack is back in Seaport to take care of his mother after she fell down the stairs. It’s funny that he calls it home but thinks he doesn’t belong there anymore. Jack is a fireman, and Seaport’s fire department is a volunteer-only firehouse, so that it wouldn’t be his profession. Since Jack was a kid, he has always wanted to be a fireman like his dad. He has worked hard to be one in New York City.
I like Jack. He is a nice guy. His faith has been tested this past few years, but he seems to be dealing with it, for the most part. He is a perfect small town character with good values. He, Ava, and Missy are all cute together.
Four Stars
The story is good and enjoyable. A couple of things didn’t make sense, but it wasn’t enough to take me out of the story. My rating for Shielding the Tiny Target by Deena Alexander is four stars. If you enjoy inspirational romance with some suspense, I recommend this one.
