Fatal Frost (Defenders of Justice Book #1) Kindle Edition
Mercy Brennan followed in her father's footsteps in a law enforcement career, but she has no interest in any other connection to him. A U.S. Marshal in St. Louis, Missouri, she's assigned to a joint task force with the St. Louis PD that puts her back into contact with her father and in the sights of St. Louis's most powerful gang.
When the gang has reason to believe Mercy has possession of some highly sensitive and incriminating information, her boss assigns Mark St. Laurent--a Deputy U.S. Marshal and Mercy's ex-boyfriend--to get her out of town until they can guarantee her safety.
Initially unaware of the danger she's in and uncomfortable working with Mark, Mercy's frustration escalates when she discovers the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her in the dark. It isn't until a freak ice storm hits, stranding them at a remote location and out of contact with the district office, that the full severity of their situation becomes clear. As the storm worsens, the forces of nature combine with a deadly enemy closing in to put their lives at imminent risk. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive--if help is even coming at all?

Review
"A out-of-control roller coaster of a romantic suspense novel! The first book in the Defenders of Justice series has something for every fan of the genre, like secrets, lies, and people who pretend to be something they aren't. The characters are smart, cunning, and know how to use their wits to get them out of tight situations. The plot is fast paced and is not standard or run of the mill. Nancy Mehl has raised the bar with her new series."

As the storm worsens, the forces of nature combine with a deadly enemy to put them in great danger. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive--if help is even coming at all?

About the author
Nancy Mehl lives in Missouri, with her husband Norman, and her puggle, Watson. She's authored over fifty books and is currently at work on a new FBI suspense series for Bethany House Publishing.
All of Nancy's novels have an added touch - something for your spirit as well as your soul. "I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing," Nancy says. "It's a part of me and of everything I think or do. God is number one in my life. I wouldn't be writing at all if I didn't believe that this is what He's called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan especially for your life, and there is nothing you can't overcome with His help."

In a tale of danger, suspense and unending battles, the flavor of a great suspenseful tale is revealed. The author does more than simply write a good book; she draws her audience into the adventure of the story and keeps them engaged as the plot unfolds. At times, when I least expected, Nancy Mehl would bring a sudden change into the tale that would ramp up my heartbeat!
Nancy Mehl has written many books in her career and I have enjoyed reading her novels. Now, in her Defenders series, I was even more engrossed in the plot, the lives of her characters and the suspense that didn’t let up till the very end. Personally, I cannot wait until the next story of the series comes out so I can see where Mercy is as well as some of the supporting cast. Keep up the great storytelling Nancy!
Realistic premise, lots of action, and a thread of faith woven into this Christian mystery novel makes for an engaging story. Mercy is likeable and I loved her Godfather references. The romance doesn't overpower the rest of the story, but instead adds flavor to the relationship between characters. I felt like there was enough left unsaid until the end that it kept the suspense going while still ultimately wrapping things up before all was said and done.
I especially appreciate U.S. Deputy Marshal Mercy Brennan, an imperfect heroine who grows and changes during the novel. Many can relate to her changing relationship to God. These characters are so realistic that I had to remind myself that this is fiction, not a news story.
Fasten your seatbelts before reading this excellent first book in Nancy Mehl’s Defenders of Justice series, and then look forward to more books which follow.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Fatal Frost, and recommend it highly.
I received a complimentary copy of Fatal Frost and was under no obligation to post a review.
Where the book could have been better was the action and sequence of events. Agree with a few folks that you have to stretch reality a bit when it came to injuries and it seemed like they were constantly being ambushed or caught off-guard. I would like to think that an operation such as this would have been better planned and folks a bit more savvy, otherwise the witness protection program is in serious trouble.
Nevertheless, while the book was not gold, it was enjoyable and I would read another from this author. 3.5 rounded up.

Great, complex protagonists with real issues that really resonated with me, especially Mercy. While I figured out certain plotlines midway, this didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story. I recommend this book and will definitely continue to follow this author's work.
