"Lipstick and Gunpowder" by Jane Daly is the first book in the series and also the first book that I have read that she has written but it won't be the last. This book is full of action from the beginning to the end. I figured out the bad guy pretty quick but stilled enjoyed the read! This book shows that the characters have faith and rely on prayer to help them. I recommend this book if a reader wants suspense and a little romance in a clean read! This is also a fast read!

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own,
