In this suspense-filled novel, Mills wraps in romance, a solid dose of character faith, and more than one plot twist.
Paige Rogers is the librarian in a small town in Oklahoma. On the surface, she’s a smart, caring, Christian with good friends and the romantic interest of the high school’s football coach. Underneath it all is a past no one would have expected. Once a former CIA agent, Paige was living her life in the fast lane until a covert mission went wrong and she nearly died. She was betrayed by their leader, threatened, and forced to start her life over. But new news surfaces about her past and she begins to wonder if her decision was the right one. Now she must confront the past and potentially lose everything she’s worked so hard for in her new home. And she’s tested to keep safe the ones she loves and unravel the clues that will expose the man behind the betrayal.
For my first Diann Mills book, I was impressed with her technique and the seamless flow of the story. It was a quick read and kept me interested.

A great plot; interesting people; a bit of a page-turner. . . and it could have been a great book, if it hadn’t degenerated into an infomercial for a conservative religion.
The Disney dialogue was unrealistically scrubbed of credibility. It’s too bad; the book had real potential.
I tried to stick with it, but after a while this book, like so many others here, got to be too much of a sales pitch for a conservative brand of Christianity.
I feel Amazon should warn readers before they spend their time and money for these religion-sponsored books that their underlying purpose is to sell the view of a particular religious belief.

Breach of Trust is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It is an excellent, pulse-pounding suspense novel with interesting characters.
The pacing and tension levels were excellent, drawing me to read on when I really should have been turning off the light to go to sleep. While there was tension from several fronts (like her growing relationship with Miles, the local high school football coach, and the conflicts he had to deal with), the main tension was between Paige and Keary.
The characters were all interesting, varied, and engaging. They acted in realistic ways. To me, the heroine felt distant at times. While it was in-character for her to hold people at arm’s length, it also meant I didn’t bond to her struggles–mainly the romantic ones–as much as I might have. But this may have just been me.
Both Paige and Miles are Christians who live out their faith. In this book, Paige struggles with how to reconcile her Christian principles with the deception required in her current circumstances.
Paige’s reasons for not immediately dating Miles were valid and came from past betrayals as well as the constraints of her current circumstances. However, I was never really in doubt about their future together considering how the hero was introduced.
The world-building details were good. There was no sex. I don’t recall any cussing. Overall, it was good, clean fun.

This book is just another in a long line of religious, holier-than-thou, Christian manifestos, that have been permeating the Kindle free book lists. They are getting sneakier about writing their book descriptions so that you don’t find out that this is what they are until you have read a chapter or two. It started out interesting enough, but soon devolved into the typical “God has a plan for me if only I can be strong enough, yada yada, yada. ”
I really wish that you Christian authors would have the guts to state up front that you are writing a religious manifesto disguised as secular escapist pleasure reading. Either decide to write a secular thriller/mystery/romance/whatever or let the readers know up front your book is really pushing religious smut. I don’t mind that you have a particular type of material. But I don’t read slasher novels, or horror novels, or things that I know up front that I won’t enjoy. And I resent filling up my Kindle with your trivial writings. Just stop writing book descriptions that hide what you are doing. If you are so god-proud of what you are writing – have the decency to say so.

BREACH OF TURST by DiAnn Mills is an incredible page-turner. For those of you who like action and suspense along with your romance, this book is for you.
Paige Rogers, an ex-CIA operative, now lives as the Librarian in the small town of Split Creek, Oklahoma . . . but not by choice. Her choices were removed eight years ago by a mission gone wrong and an operative gone bad. Today, she does all she can to keep the regrets that haunt her at bay while carrying on a mild manner existence.
Miles Laird, football coach for the Split Creek Bobcats, knows there is more to Paige than meets the eye, and continues his plan to wear her down and make her admit she is as interested in him as he is in her.
When a stranger in town harasses Paige, she realizes the sleeping dog from her past has raised his ugly head again. Everyone around her will soon be a target unless she can smoke out her adversary and force him to make a wrong move. In the meantime, her heart is not cooperating. Her feelings for Miles run deep . . . deep enough to hurt him when he finds out the truth.
I can’t even begin to touch on all the twists and turns in BREACH OF TRUST. It is a captivating story with suspense, intrigue, romance, and a pulling at your heart at the decisions Paige must make to keep those she loves safe. I anxiously await BREACH OF SECURITY in the Spring of 2010.
