MALICIOUS INTENT was great! Lynn H. Blackburn is quickly
becoming a new favorite author of mine.
Dr. Ivy Collins is on the cusp of a breakthrough in prosthetic
technology. All she must do is stay alive long enough to bring her dream to fruition,
but someone is going out of their way to mastermind roadblocks of the deadly
kind.
Secret Service Agent Gil Dixon is shocked when his work
crosses Ivy’s path. Once childhood friends, Ivy and he were inseparable. Until
they weren’t. Now that they’re in each other’s worlds again, he wants answers
for why she disappeared without a backwards glance. All he has to do is keep
Ivy alive long enough for her to explain her vanishing act when they were just
teenagers.
MALICOUS INTENT checks all the boxes in this excellent
romance-suspense novel. The action is constant. Twists and turns abound. Any
the chemistry between Ivy and Gil is goosebump worthy. MALICIOUS INTENT is book
two in the Defend and Protect series, so we get to check in on Luke and Faith
from book one, along with the rest of the band of brothers we came to love.
However, MALICIOUS INTENT can be read as a standalone novel. The comradery between
Gil, his co-workers, and their significant others really adds depth to the story.
I can’t wait to see who is highlighted in the next installment.
I definitely recommend MACLIOUS INTENT and Lynn H. Blackburn
to anyone who enjoys Lynette Eason, Janice Cantore, Dani Pettrey, Ronie Kendig,
etc.
