Product Description

Jovana was held captive by her gypsy boyfriend for seven years, and when he abandons her she returns to her parents' home in Macedonia. Her brother Bojan introduces her to faith and offers her a new life in Arizona.

While in Arizona, she stays with her future sister-in-law, but as her brother's wedding approaches he is concerned that she will be unsafe staying alone. Her brother has his close friend, her boss Randy, stay with her while they are away to protect her, only she objects to being treated like a child. A handsome stranger is pursuing her and she likes it, but she has no idea his intentions are for her destruction.

On the other hand her boss, Randy, is a wholesome, good man who even speaks her language. She can't imagine a nice man like him wanting a woman with her history, so she pursues the dangerous man, but she gets in way over her head. At the same time she discovers a surprising attraction to Randy developing, and because she is afraid of her feelings toward him, she does everything she can think of to scare him off. But he's tough to shake loose, which is, of course, exactly what she needs to heal.

Jovana's story after reading Danger at the Door could not have been a better addition! I loved every moment of watching her struggle, survive and conquer with the help of a man she didn't expect to love-once again, Michelle has shown how God's love can lead you through anything and make it better. I absolutely recommend this book!

This review is from: In Plain Sight (Kindle Edition)

In Plain Sight is the story of Jovana, a beautiful immigrant from Macedonia trying to escape a troubled past and start over. As a new Christian, she is determined to do the right thing, but can she trust either of the men who seem to have fallen for her? More importantly, can she trust herself? In this book, author Michelle Sutton continues to write from a heart of passion. Her treatment of sexual issues within a Christian context are bold, realistic and refreshing, while the strong redemptive message in this book comes across loud and clear without being `preachy'. Well done! There is definitely plenty of heat, but it is always tasteful and honest. Any less would have been weak, especially considering the background of the main characters.
Although there are certainly elements of suspense in this book, I would have to say that it is still best categorized as straight-up romance. For me, suspense is all about the unexpected, and there really were no surprises. However, it seemed as though Sutton did this quite consciously. Even though the plot was quite predictable, this was not necessarily a bad thing. Not only do we see the story from the point of view of both the female heroine and male hero, but we are actually allowed into the mind of the psychotic antagonist, Kurt. Right from the opening paragraph we know that he is bad news. For me, the tension came from my own silent pleas with the heroine, Jovana, to NOT be so easily manipulated.
The real strength of this novel, in my opinion, is the rich message of God's grace and redemption that is so beautifully presented. Jovana is a complex character with a very mottled past. Sometimes her actions seem almost irrational, but this was part of what I appreciated about the book. In reality, people who have suffered deep trauma often act in unpredictable ways. Jovana is a classic case and just because she gave her heart to Christ, she still needed time and help with the mending process.
In Plain Sight is well written, engaging, sensual, and most of all, a wonderful example of Christ's redeeming love. The message that God has can redeem even the vilest of sinners comes across with eloquence and impact, while at the same time never overshadowing the warmth of the romance. I give In Plain Sight 4 ½ stars.

Michelle Sutton is the bomb! The woman knows how to tell a great story! She never disappoints. I thoroughly enjoyed In Plain Sight. Loved it even more than the first one, Danger At The Door. In Plain Sight is my favorite novel out of all of Michelle's. I loved the suspense! How she kept me hooked. Wanting to know what happens next. Her characters in this novel are great! You really feel the pain that Jovana and Randy have gone through in their pasts. You get to see the healing process that they go through. I like how she tied in the story of Hosea and Gomer. All and all another wonderful read! The only complaint I have is that she has a tendency of keeping me up until four or five in the morning when I'm reading one of her books. Lol You know I love you, girl!
