More from Mary

When I first heard of the title for my latest Love Inspired Suspense, I smiled. Dangerous Amish Showdown reminds me of the old westerns where the good guys face off with the bad guys and always win. As a child I loved watching them, mostly because my dad loved them so much, and yes, a big draw for me besides sharing the time with him, was seeing the good guys win. It’s what I try to put into every single book I write, and it’s exactly what happens in Dangerous Amish Showdown.

Lately, I find myself reminiscing a lot about childhood things such as watching old westerns with my dad, and smiling at those simpler times.

In Dangerous Amish Showdown, it takes coming back to his simple childhood Amish community for Mason Shetler to realize how special that life once was for him. Through the courage found in a little girl who has lost everything, and the strength of a woman whose future is uncertain, Mason discovered what he had been searching for all along.

I truly hope you enjoy Mason and Willa’s fight to protect young Samantha and the love they find along the way. And I hope their happy ending leaves you with a smile on your face, and maybe takes you back to a simpler time in your life.

Blessings always,

Mary Alford

My Thoughts

Dangerous Amish Showdown is written by Mary Alford. This is part of the Love Inspired Suspense Series. I have read several books by this author and she always writes such great, suspenseful stories. She will keep you on the edge of your seat.

In this story, we see Amish Willa Lambright and former Amish US Marshal Mason Shetler crossing paths. Mason and his partner Erik are on the move with their charge, six year old Samantha King. Samantha witnessed her parents murdered by Lucian Bartelli - a powerful weapons dealer. Samantha can identify some powerful people and the Bartelli clan does not like that. Somehow everytime they move Samantha their location is compromised.

Mason heads toward his former Amish community, West Kootenai. On the way there they are ambushed. Erik and Mason are both injured and it's a game of cat and mouse. He manages to navigate through the woods and ends up at his Amish classmates house, Willa. Willa is surprised to see Mason, Samantha and Erik. She welcomes them with open arms, tends to their wounds. Then they are all, including Willa's disabled mother, fighting for their lives.

This book is action packed. Bartelli will stop at nothing to make sure that the mess is cleaned up even if that means harming innocent women in the meantime. Mason and Willa have to make amends with each other, and their pasts in order to try and stay alive. Mason has strayed from his faith, from God, from his family. What will happen being back in the community. If they can survive what will he do?

Well written characters, suspenseful storyline, great Biblical message. This might be my favorite book by Mary Alford yet.
