MoonglotexasActive Defense, by Lynette Eason, is the third in the Danger Never Sleeps series but, whilst I loved the previous two, it works as a standalone novel too. Our leading lady is a military doctor home after a traumatic incident. Quickly she realises she’s attracted a stalker and, to protect her friends, she disappears to a “safe” location. Our leading man and friend to Heather, Travis, uses his resources in private security as well as his friendships with law enforcement to find and protect Heather.
Soon, the two find themselves fighting against more than a one man stalker and trying to ascertain what the motive behind it all is. As in every Lynette Eason, this is a fast-paced action-orientated story but I love the heart she built into Heather, she has created a woman who is easy to relate to and caring toward all those who the stumble across in their journey.
Backed by Travis’ team, their investigation takes many unexpected and interesting turns before it’s satisfying ending! Whilst I pieced some of it together, as I love to do, I didn’t get all of it! I so enjoyed this adventure and highly recommend it! It’s a five out of five on the enJOYment scale!
From the back cover:
As a former field surgeon in Afghanistan, Heather Fontaine is used to life-or-death situations. She just didn’t expect them to follow her home. When she returns from a party to find that someone has broken into her house–and threatened her friends–she assumes it is the stalker who has been following her and creeping her out. She hopes to find safety and peace of mind by leaving the city and hiding out in a small town. But trouble has followed her even there.
Luckily, a stalker isn’t the only one watching Heather. Travis Walker has been secretly watching out for her for weeks. As owner of his own security agency, it’s what he does. Together, Travis and Heather must figure out who wants her dead–and why–before it’s too late.
Bestselling and award-winning author Lynette Eason will have you looking over your shoulder as you dive into this fast-paced, suspense-filled story about losing control and finding something even better.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from Revell through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
