Acceptable Risk

GIVEAWAY


EASON, LYNETTE
ACCEPTABLE RISK

Sarah Denning is a military journalist with the Army in the Middle East when her convoy is attacked and she's taken hostage. When former Army Ranger Gavin Black is asked by his old unit commander -- Sarah's imposing father -- to plan an extremely risky rescue, he reluctantly agrees and successfully executes it.

Back in the US, Sarah is livid when she's discharged on a false psychiatric evaluation and vows to return to the Army. Until she learns her brother's suicide.  Unable to believe her brother would do such a thing, she puts her plans on hold and enlists Gavin to help her discover the truth. What they uncover may be the biggest story of Sarah's career -- if she can survive long enough to write it.

My Review:

A gripping plot with so many twists and turns even a compass wouldn't be able to keep a reader on a straight course to the end. Complex layers that include betrayal and the worst kind of villainy kept me in speed reading mode all the way through. And all the while enchanted with the developing romance. 

Sarah and Gavin had dated before...until Sarah retreated after the third date. The way Gavin patiently works his way through her reluctance (downright fear, really) showcases his gentle, tender and respectful nature. Happy toe-curling sigh. This is the kind of hero that brings life to a story. And aptly matched in grit and determination by Sarah when it comes to finding answers in their investigation.

This is the second book in Eason's Danger Never Sleeps series but it reads very well as a standalone. I actually read the books out of order, one, three and now, finally, two and had no problem. I love the camaraderie of girlfriends who bonded during their service overseas and the way they continue to have each others' backs stateside.

Another unputdownable book by one of my fave romantic suspense authors.

  11. Love it when books may interlock but can be read independently. That way us that don't quite make it on the books before and still enjoy a wonderful romantic suspense book. :)

    As an old Army brat, you know I'm going to be drawn to Gavin. Can't wait for the opportunity to read "ACCEPTABLE RISK".

    Thank you for the chance to win a copy!
