3.5 stars (rating shown may vary depending on whether site allows half star ratings)--definitely not my favorite of the series, but it was decent. There was discussion about God allowing bad things to happen and about trusting God/blaming God--so a bit more spiritual stuff than sometimes shows up in this genre.

Ron's group seems the only constant through the series. If Jackie was in one of the other books, she didn't make enough of an impression on me for me to remember her when she shows up here.

It's a bit alarming to see how easy it is to frame an innocent man (well, he did see something he wasn't supposed to see, but he definitely was innocent of what he was accused of in the media). I'm glad he had a friend who believed in his innocence and the wherewithal to help him. ( )

Whew! Can you say plot twist? Times ten!

No Place to Hide
Lynette Eason

Book Summary: In the latest novel in her Hidden Identity series, Lynette Eason throws listeners right into the action from the very beginning, propelling them along a dangerous road and asking the provocative question of how far we'd be willing to go if we were up against a wall. It's not every day you see your childhood friend and one-time crush on national news. Jackie Sellers just wishes that it were under different circumstances. She can't believe that Ian Lockwood is wanted in connection with a terrorist plot, and she's determined to find him and help him clear his name. But she's not the only one looking. The FBI wants him captured. The bad guys want him dead. Ian just wants to stay alive long enough to save thousands of innocent lives.

Review: This is one heart pounding book. From the start it has my head spinning and my heart pounding. Is it questionable to try to save and old friend from a treason charge. False charges or real is the question. Jackie was convinced Ian was innocent. Loved seeing how they were hounded and in the midst of all this they have no idea how they were being tracked. Some of the timing seemed off, but the tension and mystery was pulse pounding. Lynette Eason books have taught me to expect anything. I think this book is no exception. I was sitting at the edge of my seat to the end. I will admit that I have put the book down just to take a breath!
I would like to thank Net Galley and Revell for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone. ( )

If you are looking for suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat to devour the book’s pages like your life depends on it, look no further than No Place to Hide by award-winning author Lynette Eason. Toss in a sweet romance, characters who feel like friends, and gentle nudges of faith and you have the recipe for the perfect read.

It’s not every day you see your childhood friend and onetime crush on national news. It’s also not every day that your reunion with said childhood friend debuts with you breaking into his house and defending yourself against his martial arts skills. For Jackie Sellers and Ian Lockwood, this is just the beginning of the nonstop action. Ian has been named in connection with a terrorist plot, and Jackie believes his promise of innocence. Using her skills as an operative with Operation Refuge, Jackie helps Ian run for his life. In the stay-up-all-night-until-you-finish-this pages to follow, the reunited pair dodge not only the FBI on their heels but also the bad guys who want to make sure Ian doesn’t survive long enough to tell the right people what he knows. And while they flee, Ian and Jackie must also scramble to decode the email that got Ian into this mess in the first place – but will they figure it out in time to stop the terrorist’s plot?

I loved getting acquainted with the Operation Refuge folks again, friends we met in the first two books of the Hidden Identity series – No One To Trust & Nowhere To Turn. Especially Ron. I adore Ron, and I’m so very glad we got more of his back story in this final book of the series. (*wail* Why does it have to be over??? I don’t like saying goodbye!) No Place To Hide may make more sense in parts if you read the other two books first, but it isn’t absolutely necessary – it can certainly be read as a stand-alone.

As I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for stories about best friends who fall in love. I’ve been married to mine for 15 years :) Jackie and Ian have a history that stretches all the way back to childhood, and it was such a delight to watch them together even in the high stress situations. The depth of their affection for each other left room for humor and comfort and shared strength in the midst of life being turned upside down. And Ian… *dreamy sigh*

(I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review.)
