Ratings and reviews have been overwhelmingly good so far and as I am very partial to a good thriller, 'With Our Blessing' has been added to my list.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and I hope that you are 'enjoying' the book so far :)<br /><br />Yvonne.Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244120655204824043.post-13596408867661398282016-01-23T17:57:04.225+02:002016-01-23T17:57:04.225+02:00It sounds highly suspenseful.
