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.

Book Review - Life Flight

“Today was not going to be the day they died…” Y’all know I love a strong opening line. This one leaves no doubt that Lynette Eason is going to take us on a thrill ride, so you better be situated securely and recall your crash safety protocol.

The rain and ice should have grounded the flight EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton had to sit down hard on the mountain, but that also should have been the hard part of getting their patient to the hospital. A cold hike to a nearby house should have been the second most difficult part of her shift. And an escaped serial killer on the mountain should not have been a factor in this rescue. Unfortunately, serial killers on the run don’t care about “should” and “should not,” and a run in with this one puts Penny on his list.

Penny’s youth is behind her, but the nightmares are not. Instead, they are exacerbated by her mountaintop life or death experience with an escaped serial killer who will not die. Especially when she starts to hear bumps in the night. She sees his face in the crowd as she responds to work calls. Shadows dance along the line between paranoia and reality. Penny is not the only one taking these oddities seriously, as she is surrounded by a fiercely loyal group of friends, one of whom is FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfied.

Holt and Penny have been flirting with more-than-friendship, but hectic schedules and mutual hesitation to share their deepest held tidbits of information hold them back from more. Now Holt’s work and personal lives collide as he chases an escapee who has set his sights on Penny. Will the chase prove fatal for their relationship hopes as their hidden things are revealed or will it prove to both of them that two are better than one? Life Flight kicks off Eason’s new Extreme Measures series with painstaking precision, including scenes that chill to the bone.
