Review: Without Warning by Lynette Eason

Without Warning by Lynette Eason

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Katie Singleton, a partner with the Elite Guardians Protection Agency, stumbles upon her next assignment quite by accident. Spotting blue lights at a familiar restaurant, she stops to investigate, only to discover that owner Daniel Matthews has become the target of someone who will go to any lengths to put him out of business.

Daniel might be concerned, but he's not convinced that a bodyguard--and a female one at that--is necessary. A new attack and his niece's urgings are enough to make him reconsider. He and Katie must figure out who's behind the intimidation and threats--before a would-be killer strikes again.

Witty dialogue and a simmering attraction will have readers flying through this tension-laced thriller. Eason exercises complete control of her readers' emotions as they race through the pages to discover the truth.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The bodyguards of Elite Guardians Agency have more than just skill and prowess in common--they're also all women. When it becomes clear that popular psychiatrist and radio personality Wade Savage has a stalker, his father secretly hires Elite Guardians in order to protect his son.

But when Wade's bodyguard is attacked and nearly killed, agency owner Olivia Edwards must step in and fill the gap. Olivia's skills are about to be tested to the limit as Wade's stalker moves from leaving innocent gifts at his door to threatening those closest to him. Olivia has the feeling that she's next on the list. And to complicate things even further, she realizes that her heart may be in as much danger as her client.

MY REVIEW

Lynette Eason is one of my favorite suspense writers and this book definitely lived up to my expectations.  I really enjoyed this book!

First off, I love that the Elite Guardians are all women!  Some of my favorite characters in crime shows on TV are female.  :)  They do pull in help from other agencies though once the danger increases.  And I liked how Olivia's backstory plays into why she started the Elite Guardians Agency.
There was no lack of edge of your seat suspense!   When the first bodyguard is attacked and nearly killed, you find out really quick that this stalker has planned and knows what they are doing.  As the story moved along I had my ideas as to who the stalker was but there were plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing.   The story moves along at a fast pace with lots of highly suspenseful action scenes.

You also get your behind the scenes romance with Olivia and Wade.   They struggle to keep their feelings for one another from growing for more than one reason.  But as they learn to know one another and draw on each others strengths to try to find this stalker and protect Wade and his family, they can't help but fall in love.  They also help each other strengthen/renew their relationships with God.

No Place to Hide by Lynette Eason

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It's not every day you see your childhood friend and one-time crush on national news. Jackie Sellers just wishes it were under different circumstances. She can't believe that Ian Lockwood is wanted in connection with a terrorist plot, and she's determined to find him and help him clear his name. But she's not the only one looking. The FBI wants him captured. The bad guys want him dead. Ian just wants to stay alive long enough to save thousands of innocent lives.

Lynette Eason masterfully weaves a gripping, suspenseful story in this third book in her newest (Hidden Identity) series. Jackie gets pulled into danger when she goes to find out from Ian why he's being connected with a terrorist plot. They are forced to go on the run in order to prove Ian's innocence. As their family and friends get drawn into the danger, they struggle to stay one step ahead of everyone!

I love the way Jackie believes in Ian and how Jackie's team believes in her! I also like the slow background romance that builds between them but doesn't detract from the suspense.

Lynette Eason is the bestselling author of the Women of Justice series and the Deadly Reunions series, as well as No One to Trust and Nowhere to Turn. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Romance Writers of America. She has a master's degree in education from Converse College, and she lives in South Carolina.

Review: Nowhere to Turn (Hidden Identity Book #2): A Novel

Nowhere to Turn (Hidden Identity Book #2): A Novel by Lynette Eason

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



The day Danielle Harding takes her 11-year-old son, Simon, and flees from her abusive husband, is the same day he, Kurt Harding, dies. A relieved Dani believes she and her son are finally safe--but in reality, the danger has just begun. When Kurt was alive, he took something that was important to a mysterious person. That person wants the item back and believes Dani now has it. As she and her son run for their lives, they have nowhere to turn, until she hires Adam Buchanan of Operation Refuge and goes into hiding. Unfortunately, she won't be able to hide for long . . .

I like all three of the main characters and thought they were very well developed in the book. Dani has made the mistake of staying in an abusive relationship for 12 years and finally makes the decision to leave. Then, after thinking she's safe when her husband is killed, she ends up on the run again after someone tries to kill her. For the most part she manages to stay strong for her deaf son. She also has to learn to let herself trust a man again. Adam is still overcoming the mistakes from his past and has to make difficult personal decisions to try to help keep Dani and her son safe. And Simon, Dani's son, is deaf and has lived with the abuse of his father for years. He also has to learn to trust again.

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat! Adam and his team are trying their best to keep Dani and her son safe but they are being tracked somehow. I just cringed every time they were found until they figured out how they were being discovered. The fact that the main villains were badge carrying FBI agents made it harder for them to hide. There is plenty of action and lots of suspense to keep your attention! There were also some twists to the story that I definitely didn't see coming. All in all, a very good book!

Review: No One to Trust

No One to Trust by Lynette Eason

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Wow! This book starts off with a bang and doesn't let up on the tension! It was great! :D

Summer Abernathy wakes up one morning to find her husband missing, three men in her home intent on finding him, and the life she's been living based on a lie. Which Kyle Abernathy did she marry? The computer programmer she met in line at the bank? Or the one who was apparently using that image as a cover story?

Summer is on the run with the man she married but doesn't really know. Her new-found faith is put to the test and she has to learn to trust God and her husband all over again.

This is a great book with edge of your seat suspense and plenty of emotion to keep you engaged all the way to the end.
