Summary and book review of Frame of Reference, author Amber Gabriel

By Mary Pat Johns

Summary: One down, two to go.

The prima ballerina with the Grand Kyiv Ballet, Iryna is excited for her American tour—and the chance to reconnect with the brown-eyed American she hasn’t seen since childhood. Her trip is just beginning when tragedy strikes, resulting in a close friend’s mysterious death and a fear that she might be next.

Rick Carter wasn’t looking to fall in love, but the moment he laid eyes on his sister’s childhood friend all grown up, he fell hard. Their courtship, however, is haunted by unsettling threats and near-misses. Is someone hunting him and Iryna? And if so why?

As their newfound love deepens, so does the danger surrounding them. To survive they’ll need all their wits but also their faith.

My review: I enjoyed this romantic suspense novel! The world of ballet provided a lovely setting for the story, and the international intrigue added to the suspense. The chemistry between Rick and Iryna was both sweet and realistic, and the spiritual thread was woven through with a deft hand. A salvation message unfolded in a natural way. Looking forward to more from this author.
