..Joe had looked him in the eye and asked a simple question that had cleared everything up for him. It was actually a very simple question. He’d asked, “Do you believe that God is sovereign and knows what is best for His children?”
Jordan had been quick to answer yes and Joe had in his quiet way asked, “Then why do you wonder if you could have changed what was already God’s will? If God hadn’t wanted Lance to come home, to be with Him, then Lance would...more

Ashley Dawn’s Christian suspense novel, Shadows from the Past, tells the present predicament of a young LAPD officer investigating a drug lord while absorbed in the lonely search for her brother’s killer.

The fiancé works for the FBI and his brother’s in the CIA. They’ll all work and pray together with various partners and friends before the story’s done...more
This was an interesting story that got bogged down by pacing, side stories and side characters. The mystery of the drug-dealer and of Lance's murder were captivating, but that story kinda got lost in the middle two thirds of the book. There was a lot of emphasis on Aurora's relationship with God and her quick re-courtship with Jordan that didn't keep the plot moving at all. When there was action, it was well written and exciting - it just didn't seem to have a good enough pace to keep going. The...more

Aurora Kavvan, an LAPD officer, shuts herself off from everyone that loves and cares about her. She blames herself for her brothers death. She has even stopped praying and talking to God. How could God let this happen to her brother? It is like she has no right for happiness or forgiveness. Everyone must blame her. That is what she is thinking and instead of facing them with her feelings and opening her heart to God she puts up a wall. It is harder to forgive oneself than it is to forgive others...more
I loved the banter between Aurora and Jordan, they were so adorable together, but I think that their romance rekindled very quickly - almost too quickly. However, I thought that Joe, Alex, Kami, & Cassie were wonderful characters - they helped to make the story enjoyable.
The way that the traitor was kept a secret until the last possible moment seemed a bit much to me. It really didn't matter who the traitor was, because this person wasn't mentioned all that much and so I didn't care who it w...more

I enjoyed this book very much! It was really well written .. good suspense .. made you keep moving forward because you needed to know the explanation! It also had a very positive message woven throughout! It was nice that it had some romance & chemistry but done very cleanly & respectfully! But there was no denying the connection which was great!! I look forward to finishing the second book to learn even more about this amazing family! Thanks!
A very enjoyable book with a great love story and a great tale of returning to God as well as a great action/ crime story was just amazing! a little disapointed the next one isn't about the same main charecters as i have got to know these main charecter and would have loved to know more of their story but over all a great book for 13+.
this book is awesome I loved it from the start I was looking around and found it can't wait to find out about the next one really hope it is out
