About the book:
Caught in the
crosshairs!
Held hostage on a
train, ex-lawyer Morgan Thorsby finds her powers of persuasion failing her for
the first time. Former marine sniper Brady Owens is her only hope – but his
split-second hesitation on the trigger leaves her wounded. Yet when an obsessed
stalker threatens Morgan, Brady steps up. Protecting someone so tough and
beautiful is hardly a chore, but Brady pulls back every time they get close.
Morgan isn’t ready for the connection forming between them, either, but she
knows she needs his help. Can Brady capture the culprit in time for Christmas?
My review:
An absolutely
wonderful suspense novel!
The characters
are fantastic. I connected with them immediately. Taking center stage in this
novel are Morgan Thorsby and Brady Owens. Morgan is the only daughter of a
wealthy business owner who has become dissatisfied with that lifestyle and
wants to be independent. Brady is a former marine sniper and currently the
sniper for the First Responders Squad (FRS).
It was great to
get updated on all the other members of the FRS. I am thoroughly enjoying
getting to know each team member better when they are the focus of one of these
books.
The action in
each book is a stand-alone story. But there is so much interaction within the FRS
as they support, and work with, each other that it is important to read these
books in order.
The book starts
with an adrenaline rush, life threatening situation. Then once we have been
given a chance to catch our breath and meet the characters a secondary mystery
starts to appear. This mystery is built slowly with a fantastic balance of calm
and tension building. It is incredible at keeping the reader’s interest.
