Protagonist Learns to Trust By Conny Title: Desperate MeasuresAuthor: Sandra OrchardPublisher: RevellISBN: 978-0-8007-2224-1“All Tom wanted to do was keep me safe, and I was so focused on needing to find out amendoso’s secret that I was afraid to trust him. And God,” Kate admits in Sandra Orchard’s novel, Desperate Measures.The third book of the Port Aster series that can be read as a stand-alone story, this three hundred and sixty-eight page paperback targets those who enjoy Christian romantic mysteries. With no profanity, topics of abuse, murder, and death may not be appropriate for immature readers. The end of the book includes a food recipe, note from the author, acknowledgments, author’s biography, and advertisements. This reader wishes all pronouns of God were capitalized for reverence.In this fictional story in Port Aster, science researcher Kate Adams has secrets. Keeping a few of her father’s miracle plants after most were confiscated when her father disappeared, she is determined to find out their unique medicinal purpose.Feeling betrayed and abandoned by not only God but also Detective Tom Parker when she learns he is aware of what happened to her father, she constantly brushes him off, unable to trust him. Although she confides with many others, Kate is afraid to share her discoveries with the one man who loves her.When she befriends her wealthy assistant, she wonders if the girl’s boyfriend, the mayor’s son, is involved in searching for more miracle plants. With more people demanding answers, her life becomes endangered as she keeps her secrets to herself.Through a rush of poisonings, arson, a missing teen, and car problems, the plot twists and turns as Kate and Tom work opposite directions instead of together to find out if GPC Pharmaceuticals is behind the many so-called accidents.Although romantically predictable, the mystery circling the plants has a plethora of characters who get lost between the many scenes. With storyline duplication to remind the reader, a list of characters would be helpful in this story that ends on a happily-ever-after note.Winner of multiple awards, author Orchard keeps busy with writing inspirational romantic suspense and mystery novels, speaking at events, and teaching writing workshops. She and her husband of twenty-five years live in Canada.Thanks to Revell and the author for furnishing this complimentary book in exchange for a review based on the reader’s opinion.

I had never read anything by Sandra Orchard, but I love mysteries, so I jumped at the chance to read Desperate Measures when the opportunity came. Inside the dark and menacing covers lies a mystery filled with a mysterious heroine that set places in Port Aster.Desperate Measures does exactly what a third book in a series should do: it dives deeper into the overarching mystery and ties up loose ends that were presented in the first two books. I haven’t read the first two books, so I can’t comment on what happened in the first two books, but Orchard does allude to the climactic moments in the first two books, grabbing my curiosity even further. The mystery starts in the first chapter, grabbing my attention instantly. Orchard satisfies my love with enough action to hold my attention throughout the whole book. The conflict rang true, but I had a problem with the villain just appearing out of nowhere.Detective Tom Parker and Kate Adams, herbal research scientist, relationship is explored deeper as the story progresses. I felt more connected with Tom because we understood his struggles and emotions for Kate as the story moved along, but Kate tried to keep a secret from Tom, so Orchard wrote her, in my opinion, as standoffish to the audience. Kate was scared, nervous, and always looking over her shoulder. While Tom, as a detective, had a lot of cases on his plate, so he was juggling those while trying to fight his overpowering emotions for Kate. The romantic tension was one-sided. With the happily-ever-after resolution, I felt it was too fast for my taste.Orchard’s research into plant research appeared to be right on. It sounded natural for Kate and her friend, Patti, to discuss the care and product of the amendoso plant. All the technical terminology did not detract from the story; it flowed naturally, allowing me to lose myself in the action.Orchard created a beautiful, yet mysterious setting in Port Aster. Orchard explained the setting when it was needed to fill the audience in on what was happening, but there were times the scene left things to my imagination.Since this is a mystery, there is harrowing actions affecting Kate and those close to her, but there was nothing violent or graphically described. This book will appeal to fans of a good mystery with non-stop action and a little bit of romance like Christy Barritt, Lorena McCourtney, Margaret Daley. As for the spiritual content, Orchard really did not include much. I remember only one scene that mentioned God, and it wasn’t long at all. Nothing too preachy.In short, fans of mysteries will be swept up in the non-stop action in Sandra Orchard’s ending to her Port Aster trilogy. Desperate Measures has a hero who really shines in chivalry, exciting tension, and a familiar setting for those who have read the first two books in the series. Desperate Measures made me want to read the first two books in the series to catch up on what occurred to Tom and Kate before this volume.I received a complimentary copy of Desperate Measures from Revell Publishing and all the opinions stated are my own.

Yet someone else doesn't want her research into it to go any further than it already has. With Kate staying with her injured colleague, she hopes she's out of danger. And that's what detective Tom Parker hopes too. Yet a runaway case he's working keeps entwining with Kate's penchant for being in danger. Only this time, they seem to be related. Will Kate ever be safe?This is the conclusion to the Port Aster series. Trust me. This is a series that needs to be read in order.I thought that it was just ok really. First of all, I have read the prior books. And I enjoyed them. I enjoyed this one as well, but I felt that things got tied up too nicely. And too conveniently. I'd figured out about halfway through that one of the characters wasn't a suspect.But still, reading Kate's romance with Tom was pretty fun. And learning about some of the different plants and their antidotes was interesting. I thought that the epilogue was a nice touch.I'd say that those who enjoy cozy mysteries would really enjoy this book.I received the Kindle version of this book from Revell books via NetGalley for free for the purpose of reviewing. I was not required to like this book, only give my honest opinion. My thoughts and opinions are my own.Recommended to fans of cozy mysteries, Love Inspired Suspense, Lynette Eason, Irene HannonRating - 3.5 stars, which will be 3 stars
