“Against the Wind” (Contemporary, MIRA, $7.99) by Kat Martin: After her abusive husband is murdered, Sarah Allen is looking for a safe place to raise her daughter Holly. Her husband may be gone, but his business associates keep calling, looking for an incriminating file they believe she has.At times, “Against the Wind” comes off as mechanical. It’s as if it was written from a formulated outline where details are filled in matter-of-factly, however, it isn’t enough to derail the story.
Author Kat Martin does an excellent job of painting Sarah’s vain and conceited past while showing how maturity and motherhood has changed her for the better. Holly is a cute kid who grounds both Sarah and Jackson, keeping their relationship convincing.
The author smoothly introduces
“Against the Fire,” the second Raines book, is scheduled for release in February.
