I bought this book when I met the author at the North Texas Book Festival in Denton, Texas. Rita is a retired accountant and avid fiction reader. When she found the current novels too graphic for her tastes, she challenged herself to write an exciting story without the graphic details. In my opinion, she succeeded. The little bad language there is in her books is not gratuitous and sex is held private between husband and wife.

Joe walked into Jack's office whistling the wedding march. Jack's unit had spent a year in El Paso helping the INS Border Patrol combat a significant surge in illegal activity. The traffic had slowed down to a normal level and management was sending the borrowed units back to their home offices.

"Better get your best suit pressed, Jack," he said. "You've got a bride to give away back in Boston."

He froze when he saw the somber look on Jack's face.
"We're not going back yet," Jack said. "You've been selected for a special undercover assignment."

"What assignment?" Joe asked.

"A highly organized group is smuggling young women into the country and selling them as sex slaves," Jack said.

So starts Rita Dear's Preacher Man, the first in the series that follows an undercover INS agent and his team as they investigate a sex slave smuggling ring in a small town in New Mexico. Each book leads to another investigative adventure in which the team uses stealth and cunning to bring it to a conclusion.

I recommend this series for some very thrilling reading. The detailed and intricate plot lines have excitement, suspense, romance and more; so much so that it makes you want to have the next book ready as soon as you finish the last page of the one in your hand.
