Expired Return by Lisa PhillipsMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This is the first book I’ve read by Lisa Phillips. I enjoyed the suspense, action and relationship dynamics found in the story and also the way other characters were introduced, which intrigued me enough to want to read the coming books in the series.
There was a lot of characters from the Last Chance County series making appearances and it felt like Pepper and Allen story continued from that series, so I might have felt more up to date and in the know if I read that series. However, it did not take away from enjoying this first book in this spin of series (I just have a series to try and catch up now before book two releases).
If you enjoy fast-paced action and suspense with romance, you should pick up this book. I liked the fact that Allen and Pepper had a history, that Allen was not your everyday hero and the fire rescue scenes (big men acting like kids until they are called out – then all business) and the lesson that your family’s mistakes do not define you.

About the book:
She’ll give everything to protect her family.
He always knew she was the one.
Veterinary tech Pepper Miller lives a quiet life in Last Chance County. She’s watching her niece until her sister shows up…if she ever does. When Victory’s father demands he take over her care, Pepper knows something has gone wrong. With a new drug in town, and her sister embroiled in a dangerous bargain, it’s up to Pepper to protect the people she loves.
Even if it costs every secret she’s ever kept.
Fire Department liaison Allen Frees lives with the injuries he sustained as a police officer in a raid gone wrong. He’s put his life back together but getting the truck crew and engine squad to succeed might be his toughest assignment yet. When Victory is nearly kidnapped at a community event, Allen steps in to help Pepper keep her niece safe. The one thing he couldn’t fix was the love he lost, but he isn’t going to let Pepper walk away this time.
No matter what walls he has to break down.
Last Chance County returns in this blazing new series from Sunrise Publishing.

About the Author:
A British ex-pat who grew up an hour outside of London, Lisa attended Calvary Chapel Bible College where
she met her husband. He's from California, but nobody's perfect. It wasn't until her Bible College graduation that she figured out she was a writer (someone told her). Since then she's taken the Apprentice and Journeyman writing courses with the Christian Writers Guild, and discovered a penchant for high-stakes stories of mayhem and disaster where you can find made-for-each-other love that always ends in happily ever after.
Lisa can be found in Idaho wearing either flip-flops or cowgirl boots, depending on the season. She leads worship with her husband at their local church. Together they have two children--a sparkly Little Princess and a Mini Daddy--and two bunny rabbits.
