By Kelly Bridgewater
FBI special agent Julianna James is a top-notch
negotiator who has never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of
her much younger sister, Dottie, who showed up unannounced to live with
Julianna while she finished her senior year of high school.
A former sniper with the 75th Ranger Regiment,
Clay Snyder left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Now
he's working as a high school resource officer until he can figure out what to
do with the rest of his life.
Their paths cross when Julianna is called in to
negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister. Impressed and
a bit intimidated by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes,
Clay invites her to speak at his school. Dottie's school.
But as the anniversary of a school shooting
from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is
about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't
figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and
Julianna just might be one of them.
This intense story of revenge and redemption
from bestselling author and master of suspense Lynette Eason will have you up
all night as you race toward the explosive finish.
My
Thoughts:
Crossfire
by Lynette Eason is a sweet revenge story sprinkled
with romance and sisterly love. Right from the opening chapter, Eason draws
readers into the action with a court scene and the explosive power of
everything going wrong. From then on, Eason keeps her foot on the gas, putting
her characters through harrowing events after events. Anything to keep the pace
of the novel on the rocks. Just the way I enjoy my suspense novels. As for the
romance, it really does not take away from the suspense, it just happens on the
sidelines of the plot, which is the way that I like my romance in a novel. As
for the characters, Julianna cares a lot about her little sister. Even enough
that she allows her little sister to move in with her to remove herself from
the disastrous environment of her home life. A nice quality in a character to
have. A heart that puts others before herself. As for the hero, he also has
something from his past, which hero really does not, that affects his present
day world. As for the story, it was a little different with a harrowing feat of
heroics, but overall, it lines right up with what fans are expecting from Eason.
Nothing but a non-stop thrill ride. Overall, Crossfire by Lynette Eason
will delight romantic suspense fans and keep readers guessing to the climactic
explosive ending.
