My Review - Critical Alliance by Elizabeth Goddard

4 out of 5 stars

CRITICAL ALLIANCE is an intellectual suspense novel with intensity and chemistry. 

Mackenzie Hanson is trying to work away her demons. An expert at cybersecurity, she is now using her skills to try and protect her father’s tech company. However, her past is catching up with her. 

Secret Service Agent Alex Knight is home, mentally trying to process a difficult mission. When he bumps into Mackenzie, a computer expert he met years ago, he’s immediately intrigued. Intrigue turns to concern when he finds out she’s in danger. Concern turns to action when he finds out her very life is at risk. 

While Alex works with Mackenzie, personal interest becomes the catalyst to keep her safe. And even though Mackenzie is afraid her past is going to jeopardize Alex’s future, she can’t help but be drawn to the man who sees the woman she is, not the kid she used to be.

CRITICAL ALLIANCE was fast-paced action, but if you’re not a computer person, some of the techie language could leave confused. I had a little problem with MacKenzie’s character. She showed little emotion when one of her siblings dies, and other than Alex, she doesn’t seem to have much of an emotional investment in the other characters in the story. Alex on the other hand is very likable, not the stuff shirt you think of when you hear the title secret service. 

Overall, I liked CRITICAL ALLIANCE, it just didn’t have the same punch as the other two books in the series. 

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Baker Publishing but was under no obligation to give a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
