****I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, NetGalley, book tours, and/or authors. A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****

His mind is a steel trap. He didn’t know it could trap him.

Robert Weston became a psychiatrist to heal people’s minds. He can’t lose his. But if the strange occurrences of forgetfulness and confusion continue, he may not be able to hide the truth much longer. When his psychological issues put his life in danger, he must face the reality that the genetic nightmare he fears inheriting has seized him.

Attorney Monty Montgomery doesn’t trust Robert Weston. His expert testimony once ruined her client’s case. She didn’t realize the psychiatrist isn’t only wrong but also completely unreliable. How can she defend him against a malpractice suit for the insurance company that hired her when he’s clearly incompetent?

Robert and Monty have bigger problems than they know. Someone has a mission. A mission that won’t be stopped until somebody ends up dead.

Is everyone a pawn in the lethal game, or is Robert’s failing mind playing tricks on him? Even with the help of the Weston siblings, Robert and Monty may need a mind smarter than theirs—the mind of God—to escape this twisted game alive.

My Review

Wow, Jerusha Agen does it again! I have loved every single book I've read by this author, and she truly knows how to write romantic suspense. Watched completely gripped me, and I honestly couldn't put it down. This book really knows how to keep readers fully engaged.

The story follows a psychiatrist named Robert who starts having these scary memory gaps and vision issues. He's terrified he's losing his mind, and on top of that, he's dealing with a massive lawsuit. Then there's Monty, the sharp attorney who comes in to defend him. They actually have a bit of a rough past, so watching them have to work together is so fun.

The danger gets real so fast. Someone is playing a seriously twisted game with Robert, and soon Monty is in the crosshairs, too. The author throws in so many clever red herrings that I kept pointing fingers at the wrong people, and the final reveal completely caught me off guard!

Even with all the crazy danger, the romance between Robert and Monty is so sweet and feels completely real. Plus, getting to see the awesome Montgomery family and the Weston siblings again added so much warmth and fun banter to the story.

What I love most about Jerusha's books is how she brings in faith. Monty's trust in God throughout all the chaos is such a beautiful reminder of His care, and it really sticks with you.

I haven't stopped thinking about this book since I finished it, and I'm already excited to see what this family gets into next.
