Book Review - Deception

National Park Service ISB Ranger Madison Thorn shifted her focus to white collar crime after a trafficking investigation turned personal and ended with her killing the man she loved in an act of self defense. That was four years ago and personal vendettas are the last thing on her mind as she returns to Natchez, but things get very personal when she learns that she is fighting for her life in a local hospital. Who is this person who is a dead ringer for Madison, who shot her, and how does she fit in the bigger picture?

NPS Agent Clayton Bradshaw wrote a warning to Madison for speeding on the Natchez Trace in the morning, anonymously paid for her supper that evening, and was called to investigate her attack that night. He remembers her from summers she spent with her grandfather during their childhood and can’t seem to help how familiar he wants to be with her now, except that he can’t treat her the way he has treated women in the past. Oh yes, and they are working together on an investigation, which means she is off-limits.

Patricia Bradley focuses on forgiveness and redemption in Deception, the fourth installment in her Natchez Trace Park Rangers series, and she does it in a powerful way. There are enough red herrings to make a meal and they go together swimmingly to leave the reader completely satisfied.

Book Review - Crossfire

Though her job has high stakes, FBI Special Agent Juliana Jameson knows how to talk down a hostage taker and has never lost a hostage. Only one incident gets under her skin, one that happened before her career began, but was very personal. As the fifteenth anniversary of this incident approaches, lines between work and home begin to blur when someone begins playing cat and mouse games with Jules. As the situation escalates, it becomes clear that someone is out for blood, and not just a little.

School Resource Officer Clay Fox wastes no time getting to the scene when his sister texts that she has been taken hostage. With Reese stuck in a courtroom, at the mercy of a hostage taker with nothing left to lose, Clay turns his phone over to the beautiful negotiator. After the crisis passes, he finds that there is another one brewing. Juliana makes him want things he doesn’t believe he’s worthy of; how will she ever forgive what he has done when he cannot.

Lynette Eason brings the Extreme Measures crew back together in this second installment as Penny, Grace, and Raina to the support of their good friend, Juliana. With her trademark excitement and multiple storylines, Eason weaves together an unforgettable story and leaves us chomping at the bit for our next look at the crew she has knit together for this series.
