Crossfire (Extreme Measures #2) by Lynette Eason

 

Crossfire by Lynette Eason
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This read will keep your attention! Just when you think things will calm down a bit, more drama ensues.

Julianna, an FBI Special Agent, is an excellent hostage negotiator and most are surprised to learn that's the career path she's chosen. She's so good at it, she's never lost a hostage.

Clay is a high school resource officer after leaving the military. Clay happens to work at the same school that Julianna's younger sister Dottie attends.

Things heat up a bit when, during a career day, Julianna and Clay have to work to save students from a crazed fanatic who is looking to make amends for an incident that happened several years ago. It just so happens that this specific day is the anniversary of that incident. The people involved turn out to be a bit surprising to Julianna and she has to face some things from her past to get through this event.

If I were ever in need of a hostage negotiator, I'd want someone like Julianna. She has a way with people that speaks to their conscience and allows for a successful situation.

There is a bit of a romance between Julianna and Clay but nothing vulgar or unbecoming at all. There are also spiritual elements within this book, mostly the changes in Clay's heart.

This is a great book and I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I did listen to the audio version of this and enjoyed the narrator's clear and concise voice. This book can be read as a standalone.

Protective Custody by Lynette Eason

 

Protective Custody by Lynette Eason
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great suspenseful mystery with a small amount of romance scattered throughout.

Carly Masterson is a US Marshall who has been assigned a new duty station. She isn't thrilled when she sees that she is responsible for guarding Judge Nick Floyd. He let a murderer go who then in turn murdered Carly's partner. Can she keep her personal feelings for Nick out of this assignment?

I figured out pretty quick who the main person involved in all the activity was going to be. There were not so subtle clues throughout that led me to that conclusion. It didn't stop me from reading the book though, as I wanted to see how it all played out.

Overall, an enjoyable read!

Life Flight by Lynette Eason

 

Life Flight by Lynette Eason
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Penny is a helicopter pilot who works for the local EMS services. Many people rely on her flying skills to get them the medical help they need quickly and safely. Penny is one of the best out there and she has a great team to work with as well!

A call comes in that will change Penny's life forever. The weather is atrocious and she argues with her director that it's not safe to fly. The director doesn't give her an option (well, he does but it involves her losing her job) so she flies out to the site to pick up the victim. On the way to the hospital, things start to fail on the "bird" and Penny has to make an emergency landing. Little does she know that she's landed on a mountain top and that a serial killer is loose in the same area. With no way to communicate with base, Penny leaves her team caring for the patient and she begins to walk to find someone that can help her. She finally is able to secure a satellite phone and call in for help. On her way back to the bird, however, she encounters who she believes to be the serial killer. Life gets a lot more interesting then and so does this story!

We follow Penny throughout her ordeal with Rabun and the many ways he tries to come after her and those she loves. With the help of FBI Special Agent Holt, is it possible that Penny and her team can put an end to all the killings?

This is a very fast-paced read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Don't eat while reading this though as there are some gruesome scenes described that might turn your tummy! I am looking forward to reading even more in this series!
