A stalker who wants to finish what he
started. A US Marshal who’s vowed to protect his charge. And one woman who is
determined to put the past in the past.
Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it's hard to stop. To escape
a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life
with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her
energies into saving people's lives, but because her stalker was never found,
she's never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far
before the past finally catches up.
US Marshal Vincent Corelli's job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those
who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he
vows to protect her at all costs--whether it's his job or not. Together they
work to solve the mystery of Raina's past. But someone is out to make sure
Raina doesn't live long enough to do it.
Countdown is the breathless
conclusion to USA Today bestselling
author Lynette Eason's thrilling Extreme Measures series.
My Thoughts:
Countdown
by Lynette Eason features a past that comes back to haunt the main heroine,
Raina. With plenty of twists and turns, Eason throws her readers and characters
under the bus by tightening the noose tighter and tighter as the story moves
along. There were moments of high energy and downtime to allow the readers to
get to know Raina and Vincent. As for an Eason novel, this one was not my
favorite. The romance seemed a little unbelievable. They meet, and Raina shares
all her past secrets with Vincent. Things she did not even share with the other
three girls that she had worked with for a couple of years. I found it weird
that Vincent would drop everything in his life to help her solve her past
mystery that has come back to haunt her. Overall, Countdown by Lynette Eason
was okay at best. I needed more action and believability for the romance.
I received a complimentary copy of Countdown
by Lynette Eason from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my
own.
My Rating: 3.5 out of
5 stars
Purchase Countdown
