ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
REVIEW: Beau Hunt and Christine Knowles were lovers when they were teens. At that time Christine had no idea that her father was a criminal. Beau and Christine would meet in secrets to keep her crime lord father from finding out because Beau was basically the hired help. Her father found out anyway and ordered Beau to be killed. Later Christine testified against her father for his criminal activities and was placed in witness protection. For the last decade she has been safe. Until now. Someone breaks into her house and leaves a clue to inform her that her being safe is no longer true. She contacts her assigned marshal in witness protection and additional marshals are assigned to her protection detail. When the marshals arrive, Christine comes face to face with the man she thought was dead for the last thirteen years. 

Beau is a US deputy marshal, which is a long way from his younger days as a driver for a crime lord. His present assignment is to protect a witness whose secure location has been comprised. Christine is in witness protection for her safety after her testimony helped to send her father, Luther Knowles, to prison. Her new name has been Kirsten Spears for the last decade.

RECKONING WITH THE MARSHAL is a criminal story involving racketeering, extortion, distribution, and murder. For the two main characters, Beau Hunt and Christine Knowles, it is a story that began thirteen years ago when they were teens in love. They were separated by her father and never thought they would see each other again. Ms. Sims has crafted an amazing story to bring them full circle. It is well-written, fast-paced, has lots of interesting characters and enough drama and danger to keep readers turning those pages. 

RECKONING WITH THE MARSHAL is a good read; a story that will keep you entertained for hours and rooting for beau and Christine to reconnect to have the life they always wanted.
