GIVEAWAY

EASON, LYNETTE

ACTIVE DEFENSE

As a former field surgeon in Afghanistan, Heather Fontaine is used to life-or-death situations. She just didn't expect them to follow her home. When she returns from a party to find that someone has broken into her house -- and threatened her friends -- she assumes it is the stalker who has been following her and creeping her out. She hopes to find safety and peace of mind by leaving the city and hiding out in a small town. But trouble has followed her even there.

Luckily, a stalker isn't the only one watching Heather. Travis Walker has been secretly watching out for her for weeks. As owner of his own security agency, it's what he does. Together, Travis and Heather must figure out who wants her dead -- and why -- before it's too late.

Bestselling and award-winning author Lynette Eason will have you looking over your shoulder as you dive into this fast-paced, suspense-filled story about losing control and finding something even better.

My Review:

I think I've lost the ability to adequately review/gush after voraciously listening (yay audible!!!) to this latest Eason masterpiece. I'm still reeling. Trying to wrestle my blood pressure into submission and get a handle on my racing heart beats. 

First off, this is the third book in the Danger Never Sleeps series. Ha -- love that title because readers won't sleep until they reach the end of each book. They are that unputdownable. I read the first book, missed the second and then dived into the third without any problem. There are recurring characters and a suspense link that's going to tie these books together by the end, I think, but each one can be read as a standalone with a fully resolved suspense (and romance) element.

Heather's story starts out on a creepy stalker vibe and morphs into something so much more complicated. The pacing is incredibly well done and the way the author fits the multitude of pieces together to reach that 'aha' moment towards the end. Let's just say I was stunned! Still reeling, actually.

Love the back stories -- especially Heather's -- and the way it messed with her perception of love and happily ever afters. And I love that Travis wasn't scared off. Respectful, but persistent and oh-so-dashingly protective. Be still my heart. 

(Funny random biblio trivia: I just finished reading another suspense before starting this one and the uber bad guy's name was Travis Walker who just happened to be a stalker! I mean, what are the fictional odds -- it took me a couple of chapters into Active Defense before I stopped cringing at the hero's name. Bwahahaha!)

Anyhow -- if you love romantic suspense fueled by faith and friendship this book (and the whole series) should definitely go on your TBR list.
