Deadly Force by Jorgia Yates Book Review

About the Book:


Threats don’t shake him...
She’s a different story.

When a terrified whistleblower reaches out to journalist Brooke, she’s thrown into a deadly race to expose the truth. Then her source vanishes. Her car’s sabotaged. And someone clearly wants her story buried—permanently.

The last thing she expects is Caleb—a brooding, ex-Green Beret turned bodyguard—showing up on her doorstep.

She doesn’t want protection.
He’s not asking for permission.


But when her source turns up dead, the danger gets personal—and Brooke becomes the next target.

The threat is real.
The stakes are lethal.
Caleb’s locked, loaded, and ready to do whatever it takes.


Because when the mission goes off the rails, and the woman you’re protecting becomes everything—

Rules don’t matter.
Survival does.

My Review:

This novel is a good addition to the series. It has plenty of action and a solid hero. Caleb is like a brick. He is a rock hard fellow and his character development reflected his dedicated attitude toward protecting Brooke. He does show his soft heart with respect to a mistreated elderly person in a care facility, however. As disciplined as Caleb is, Brooke is a free spirit and gets herself into more trouble than Caleb can keep up with. That a romance might develop between them seems an impossibility.

Part of the plot involves an abortion clinic so potential readers should be aware of that possible trigger situation.

Yates' novel has strong characters, lots of action, a very strong faith message and a surprising bit of humor. I recommend it to readers who like inspirational romantic suspense. While it can be read on its own, the previous novels do give character background information to better enjoy this one.

My rating: 4/5 stars.


About the Author:

Jorgia Yates writes swoony Christian Romantic Suspense with protective heroes and courageous heroines who constantly find themselves in sticky situations they need to shoot or smooch their way out of.

After meeting as two awkward teenagers in the nineties, Jorgia married the man her soul loved, and they have been blessed with two cherished children on the spectrum.

Due to pesky physical disabilities, Jorgia is limited in what she can do outside the home, so she lives vicariously through her characters' exciting adventures.

Jorgia Yates, 330 pages.
