Compelling storyline, explosive action and suspense fill the pages of this well-written Romantic Suspense story.
Beyond Power by Connie Mann is the second book in her Florida Wildlife Warriors series.
Delilah Paige is in Ocala, Florida to do a study on the rhesus macaque monkeys in the area for her master’s program in anthropology at Florida State University. Covertly as her name is really Delilah Paige Atwood she is there to rescue her younger sister from a forced marriage when she turns sixteen. Delilah grew up in the area with her survivalist, anti-government family. She escaped the family and the man her father was forcing her to marry when she was sixteen. She really only returned to save her sister. As Delilah was searching for her sister Mary and setting up their escape she saw things she shouldn’t have seen including a dead body. From that point on Delilah encountered danger everywhere. Fortunately Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Josh Tanner stepped up to help and protect her. At first Delilah wasn’t sure she could trust Josh as she was raised to trust nobody in government, especially law enforcement. But not only did she come to trust Josh, she found herself falling for him. She had to get her feelings under control because she couldn’t stay in Ocala.
Josh Tanner takes his job with FFWC very seriously. Along with his family who mostly have jobs in law enforcement they does their best to do their duty. Lately he has been a little distracted by the presence in town of Delilah Paige. He enjoys stopping by the Corner Cafe in the morning to have a cup of coffee with Delilah and engage in some friendly conversation with a side of flirtation. When Josh hears about Delilah’s troubles he is determined to help and protect her. She opens up to him a little when he goes to her little green camper to ask her about the body she saw. Little by little as the days pass Delilah tells Josh her whole story since the attempts on her life have really scared her. Josh knows he is falling for Delilah so will keep her safe.
This is a super suspenseful story. The action is non-stop. I had a hard time putting this book down because I couldn’t wait to read about what would happen next. Reading about the anti-government groups was quite interesting. I’m sure I wouldn’t be happy living off the grid like they do. I look forward to the next book in the series.
