Conrad by Susan May WarrenMy rating: 💛💛💛💛💛
Danger, steaming emotions, unresolved issues and secrets resulted in a can’t-put-down-read.
Firstly, start with book one, Jack, since Penelope and Conrad's story starts there. Their chemistry is obvious to everyone but them, both of them struggling with letting go of guilt and insecurity from past events. Forgiveness and trust was a main theme in this story.
“You don’t need to unravel everything—you just need to put your reputation and your actions into God’s hands and follow His voice. Learn, yes, but don’t keep looking behind. Let mercy abound.”
I loved Conrad and Penelope together. They were cute together but strong as a team and supportive of one another. Even in times where Penelope's decisions placed them both in danger.
“Forgiveness doesn’t have to be earned. It just has to be accepted.”
The mystery plot kept me guessing. I did not have an idea who was behind everything right till the end.
There is also a side plot which started in book one with a spy and her search for a program. Everything seems connected in this book but also not. I really want to know what will happen next and if Declan Stone is good or bad!
