Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a
tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts
her. Rumor is, she didn't get the position because of what she could do but
because of who she knew. Which means she has to work harder and longer than
anyone else to prove herself.
Cole Garrison is a man with deep faith who is
finally ready to settle down and build a family of his own--if he can find the
right person, that is. Kenzie sure has set off his interest meter, but trouble
seems to follow in her wake. Since she joined the team, someone has begun to
ambush and pick off team members, one by one.
It's all hands-on deck to discover the culprit
and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work
together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a
sniper's bullet?
As you've come to expect from bestselling author
Lynette Eason's stories, this tightly wound plot unfurls at breakneck speed and
will leave you breathless.
My Thoughts:
Target Acquired
by Lynette Eason is a non-stop action thrill ride. I love how she put Kenzie
and Cole in the line of fire roughly every 30 pages. As for the setting, I love
the idea of a mental hospital and the idea of what went on in these places long
time ago does add some suspense and intrigue to the plot element. Readers will
understand why Eason put the flashback to these moments in the story, but I
really wanted more. It was pretty vague. Then she tied these past moments to
the present with word of mouth or a journal. I was intrigued, so I wanted more
of this storyline. On the other hand, there is a little bit of romance between
the two main characters. It really does not take over the plot line until the
end. Just the way I like it. Even though this story is marketed toward the
Christian readers who enjoy a clean romance with action, there really is
nothing that spiritual about the plot that non-Christian could not enjoy. The
discovery for the villain was a little twisty as Eason kept moving the focus
around from what the characters wanted you to think was the bad guy to who the
bad guy was when revealed. I didn’t figure it out, which is a nice change. Overall,
Target Acquired by Lynette Eason captured my attention, and enjoyed
flipping through the pages of this story.
I received a complimentary copy of Target
Acquired by Lynette Eason from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated
are all my own.
