Synopsis:
Book 2 of J. A. Dennam's Captive series:
Melanie Parker's life takes a gut-wrenching turn when she wakes up in a
crumbling, unfamiliar environment. Even worse, her small child is in the arms
of a certifiable killer, but Rena Hellberg isn't the only immediate threat.
Melanie's abductor lurks in the shadows, a quiet, hooded stranger who's calling
the shots. When she refuses to play the meek hostage, he reveals his darkest
secrets in order to gain her cooperation.
Though he can barely trust himself, he can't deny his feelings for a woman he
should have left alone. It wasn't his intention to bring her into a world he's
trying to break free of, but he refuses to let it destroy her. The formidable
legion of enforcers who took him and made him one of their own won't tolerate
rebellion of any kind. But they've never dealt with such a stubborn
recruit...or one with so much to live for.
You really NEED to read Book 1 to understand this book!!
Sunny's Review:
Ok...so you have to read Truth and Humility before you can read Faith and Fear. It is necessary so that you are not totally lost. Plus, you fall in love with all the characters in the first book. Truth and Humility starts out explaining the family fued and is awesome. It took me less than a day on each of these books because they held my attention. At first I was not looking forward to Melanie's book. I don't want to do a spoiler so I can't really tell you why but I was VERY happy with how the book went. I was really happy to see how she had changed from the first book. I mean being a party girl is all good and everything but I was happy to see she had grown up. The guy is FREAKING AWESOME!!! I really liked him in the first book and I just kept on in this one. LOVE IT.
Please do yourself a favor and go get these books. They are really good. I am giving this book 4.4 stars out of 5. I love that there was some mystery and action in it. I love a good fairytale but I also love some action.
Go Buy The Book!!!!

EXCERPT (just in case you are not convinced by my review):
Melanie’s cooperation was too important. Her child presented a problem
he hadn’t counted on.
Something had to change, as this was no longer a simple plan.
Sensing her eyes on him, he turned, regarded her with doubt. Should he?
It was never supposed to happen. He shouldn’t put her through that kind of
turmoil; it wasn’t fair to her.
But life had handed him a shit-ton of unfair.
Since he’d sent the dog downstairs to keep an eye on Rena, they were
alone. Expelling a heavy breath, he moved barefoot over the debris, knowing if
she were to close her eyes, she’d never know he approached.
She sat up, her slender shoulders stiff with expectation. He lowered
himself before her, mirroring her position with his knees to the floor. They
were close. She didn’t budge. The questions must have been compiling in her
beautiful head since he’d ordered her to sit down because she whispered…
“You kissed me.”
She remembered. “Yes,” he answered truthfully.
After a moment’s hesitation, she nodded. “It was… familiar.”
Aw, hell. “Just familiar?”
He could hear her frantic heartbeat. It pounded beneath the light
cotton of her t-shirt as she hesitantly raised her hands. If he let her do
this, there would be no turning back. His dark, possibly limited existence
would put a stain on the comfortable life she'd found without him. But, much to
his dismay, the decision had been made the moment he took her.
He bowed his head… and waited.
About J. A. Dennam:
J. A. Dennam, an award winning author and member of Romance Writers of
America, resides in a small Kansas town with her husband and four
children. Besides her great love for literary arts, her passions
include fine art, culinary art and music.
Storytelling has been a part of her life since childhood, when insomnia
forced a young girl of six into counting popcorn on the ceiling in the dead of
night. Confessing her problem to her older sister, the two girls decided
to tell each other stories to entice sleep; however, the inevitable snore
always tore through her sister’s nose before she could utter the words ‘Once
Upon A Time.’ So, the stories began to flow in silence, her imagination
taking her to quiet, private places so enthralling, the trick was suddenly to
stay awake. Each night, she went to bed anticipating the continuation of
the adventure that had been interrupted by sleep the previous night.
Soon, insomnia was no longer a problem and the stories would sometimes take
months to complete.
Those habits carried on to adulthood until the need to purge her
stories demanded she put them in print. Her fascination with romance,
fast cars and adventure films is what structures her stories today, making
Romantic Suspense the genre she was simply born to write.
For over twenty years, Ms. Dennam has been ensconced in her career as a
painter of Western art. In the meantime, however, she managed to complete
three novels: FLESH OF ANGELS, FLESH OF THE FATHER, and TRUTH AND
HUMILITY. The recent decision to forgo her fine art career in lieu of her
writing career was a simple one. Her passion for writing far outshines
all other passions and she has only just begun to build her list of
achievements by entering writing contests, joining local writer’s groups and
stocking local bookstores with her titles.
Ms Dennam is proud to announce that she is now
represented by Marisa A. Corvisiero, Esq. with the Corvisiero Literary Agency.

I'm supposed to share interesting
details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no
particular order: I'm an natural redhead even though I haven't seen my real
hair color in years, I'm a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either
arm and various other pieces all over the place, I've been in the bar industry
since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how
men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I
live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I
could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so
there is that.
