Lynette Eason

I was in the mood for an audiobook that would be (1) really easy to get drawn into, and (2) had a simple enough structure that I could listen in short stints without too much back-tracking required. And, Lynette Eason’s latest romantic suspense novel Double Take, delivered on both of those scores.

Lainie and James are both really down-to-earth characters with, quite refreshingly, nothing but good intentions. Each though, are scarred by traumatic experiences in their past, and so have a fair amount of emotional baggage to work through in parallel with trying to stay alive.

While the mystery underpinning Double Take kept me guessing, the chronological narrative is easy to follow and swiftly paced. Eason fills any down-time between thrilling action sequences with either cat-and-mouse psychological suspense or romantic tension between her lead characters.

I love the chance to learn more about a character that I've met briefly in another book! Alana Flores was a secondary character in a Christmas anthology and now she has her chance to shine! Alana's hired to protect a little girl who's become the target of kidnappers, and she's soon involved in a "don't forget to breathe" adventure filled with mystery and intrigue!

I've loved the previous Elite Guardians novels so I was excited to read about the protection agency that's located in Savannah, Georgia. Alana is an amazing bodyguard but she isn't immune from the doubts that often plague working mothers. Is she doing her best for her son Rocco? Author Kate Angelo paints a poignant picture of the bond shared by Alana and her diabetic son, along with the struggles of a widowed father and his autistic daughter. And then, there's the growing attraction between Alana and Cash. Is a blended family a possibility?

This is a great introduction to the Elite Guardians Savannah series! I recommend Vanishing Legacy to all who enjoy Christian romantic suspense.

Brooke is discharged from the army and returns home to set up her counselor practice, where she meets Asher. When Asher arrives, it is discovered that there is a body in the office and Brooke and Asher resolve to figure out what is happening.
As typical of a Lynette Eason book, this story is told with compelling prose that makes it difficult to put down. Eason also wove themes of faith in throughout the book well.
However, I felt like too many characters were introduced in a short time and as a result, the story was more difficult to understand.
Overall, this was not my favorite Lynette Eason book and I doubt that I'd visit the story again for a reread.

What a thrilling ride from the first page to the last! I love Lynette Eason’s books, so when she teamed up with Kate Angelo for Vanishing Legacy, the first book in new Elite Guardians: Savannah series, I had to read it. It was fantastic! The suspense was nonstop as Elite Guardian, former LAPD underwater dive detective, & single mom Alana Flores risks her life to protect a sweet little girl someone is bent on kidnapping.

Alana is looking for a new start with her eleven year old diabetic son Rocco. She believes Savannah, Georgia will provide a more stable environment. However when she finds a young autistic girl hiding in her shed, she and Rocco’s world is about to get turned upside down.

Dr. Cash Thomas is a former navy, trauma surgeon trying to manage his busy ER schedule with raising his special needs daughter Penny after his wife’s death. When he learns she’s missing in a traumatic way, he does everything he can to find her. Luckily, she’s found safe and sound with Alana Flores. But, Penny’s not out of danger yet and Cash turns to the attractive, sympathetic body guard to help keep his daughter safe.

From dangerous car chases, to thrilling hot air balloon rides, to underwater discoveries, this book is one suspenseful moment after another as Alana tries to discover who wants to kidnap Penny and why. I loved the chemistry between Cash and Alana. Both are fantastic single parents trying their best to raise children with complicated needs. Neither one was looking for love yet they’re a perfect match.

I loved the depth of their characters and how much Alana overcame in her past. Both have strong faith which was beautifully woven into the story. I loved Rocco and Penny and how well they’re written. Rocco becomes a kind of instant big brother to Penny & has the magic touch when it comes to knowing how to help her when she’s struggling to communicate.

The mystery kept me guessing with several moving parts and subplots that all come together for an exciting climax. The motives for Penny’s kidnapping were surprising and unique. It’s a must read for romantic suspense fans! I’m excited to read more about these strong Elite Guardian women! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author.
