Wow! Another great adventure from Lynette Eason! I think I held my breath through the entire book!
Sarah Denning, a military journalist, is on emotional
overload. Though she is thankful to be alive after surviving a hostage situation,
she is angry her lieutenant general father is responsible for her freedom. She
is grateful for the covert team who rescued her, but coming face-to-face with team
leader, Gavin Black—a man she once had feelings for—scrambles her senses. Then,
when she finds out her brother who is suffering from PTSD has committed suicide,
along with a list of other Army veterans, she vows to figure out what is
causing recovering men and women to take their own lives.
Former Army Ranger Gavin Black is thankful Sarah Denning got
out of the Middle East in one piece, but his next obstacle is making sure she
stays that way. Needing to stay focused, he tries to put his feelings for Sarah
on the back burner, a task easier said than done. When it’s clear her life is
still in danger, he and Sarah must race against the clock to find out what is happening
to military veterans, and who wants Sarah dead.
ACCEPTABLE RISK was not just your run-of-the-mill romance/suspense.
It was suspense on steroids! The story was intricately woven together with different
threads from Sarah’s life, a life made up of many layers that were continually being
peeled away as the story intensified. And then there was Gavin, the reluctant
hero. Though he knew both he and Sarah were trying to process their past
feelings for each other, he also knew at any moment she could discover the
secret he was keeping from her and kick him to the curb. But no matter what
happened, he vowed to keep her safe, a promise he had no intention of breaking.
ACCEPTABLE RISK is a fast-pace story that kept me on the
edge of my seat. I can’t wait to read ACTIVE DEFENSE, book three in the Danger
Never Sleeps series.
Though an advance copy of this book was provided to me by
Revell, all opinions and comments are my own.
