Hostile Intent by Lynette Eason brings the action and suspense. Book four of the Danger Never Sleep Series focuses on Ava Jackson’s story. She’s dealing with her father’s death and her mother’s failing health. But things take a turn when someone tries to kidnap her. FBI Special Agent Caden Denning’s case intersects with Ava’s attack when her father’s job is linked to a series of murders. Ava (literally) has to put together the pieces to figure out the details of her father’s super-secret life.

This is one of my favorite series, but book four has to be the most intense and action-packed of them all.  I love stories about strong woman, and Ava knows how to defend herself. She isn’t a damsel in distress, but Caden has a knack for showing up at the exact right time. The two make a great team. But the action takes center stage in this book. Lots of life-or-death situations mix with an intriguing plotline to create this non-stop thrill ride.

You don’t have to read the books in this series in order, but I recommend it. The entire series is fantastic, with action, suspense, and a bit of romance.

The only downside is that I didn’t want the book to end. Here’s to hoping for a Hostile Intent sequel or spin off series.

Overall Rating:
5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)

Suspense Rating:

Active Defense had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole novel. From start to finish, I had no idea who the bad guys were or why anyone would want to kill surgeon Heather Fontaine. Yet the attacks continue and Travis Walker steps in to help keep her secure.

I love the plot twists in this story! So much action and suspense kept me flipping pages. But there were some great relationship moments too. Heather’s rough childhood made her shut out others, giving way to her self-reliant nature. She struggles to ask for help, but changes her tune as her friends intervene to save her life. Travis sticks by her side and she begins to realize that she needs others.

The ending was intense and unexpected. I definitely recommend this to all of the suspense-loving, adrenaline-junkies out there looking for a fast-paced and exciting novel. Check out the latest in the Danger Never Sleeps series. I am so excited that there is a fourth novel coming out next August!

Overall: 5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)

Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason should come with a warning label. “You might lose sleep when you can’t put this book down.” This story had me hooked from start to finish, with intriguing characters and a complex, action-packed plot.

This is book two in the Danger Never Sleeps series, but can definitely be read as a stand alone. Sarah Denning is a military journalist who gets discharged and sent state side after being injured during a kidnapping. Gavin Black is put in charge of her security, even though she doesn’t know her overbearing father arranged it. But Sarah stumbles headfirst into danger through a variety of circumstances. She meets a strange and disturbed woman in the hospital who disappears. Her brother commits suicide but the facts surrounding it don’t add up. And then several attempts are made on her life. It all adds up to one intense and suspense-filled novel.

Sarah’s strength shines through the story as she fights for justice for her brother and others. The plot twists are endless and the bad guys are pure evil. Gavin realizes his place isn’t “knight in shining armor” and wrestles with how to protect Sarah but give her the freedom she craves.

All suspense fans should move Acceptable Risk to the number one spot on your TBR lists. You won’t want to miss this.

Overall: 5 stars (I loved it, couldn’t put it down)

For fans of military, suspense and action

Collateral Damage brings action and suspense in the form of a military drama. Brooke Adams is an Army psychologist who is discharged after a bombing. Asher James is seeking answers after his friend dies in the same explosion while accused of treason. Meanwhile, someone is out to get Brooke.

The story is intriguing and will suck you in from the start. Lots of chase scenes and mystery keep the story line fast-paced, while the characters are strong and relatable. Brooke is a counselor who struggles with her own form of PTSD after the explosion and I enjoyed watching her discover her own inner strength but also her ability to put aside her own issues to help others. The romance didn’t distract from the story, and seemed more realistic/not staged than other novels in the “romantic suspense” category.  

If you are a fan of military stories as well as action, look no further than Collateral Damage. I’m a fan of Lynette Eason, and this is a great start to a new series.

Overall Rating: 5 Stars (I loved it)
Suspense Rating: 5 Stars (lots of action and intrigue)
