About the book:

     EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is used to high stress situations, but being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient—and a serial killer on the loose—tests her skills and her nerve to the limit. She survives with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield’s help. But she’s not out of the woods yet.

     In the ensuing days, Penny finds herself under attack. And when news reaches that he may not have gotten his man after all, it will take all he and Penny have to catch a killer—before he catches one of them.

My review:

     This is a heart-pounding romantic suspense novel!

     I love both of the main characters. Both Penny and Holt have things from their pasts that they don’t like talking about. As the stories come out it is completely understandable though. With Penny’s past it is very easy to understand her career choice and the emotional strength that she has to deal with the current situation. They have a number of very strong people surrounding them and helping them to stay safe and find the serial killer.

     The plot is incredibly well developed and kept me on the edge of my seat. I stayed up much later than I should have because I needed to get them out of danger. I was kept guessing about who was helping the bad guy out until the very end.

     The narrator is one of the very best that I have ever heard. She had so many different voices that she used that I could actually see the different people interacting with each other. Their emotions could be felt just by listening to the narrator.

     I’m giving this wonderful book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it for the story itself. If you listen to audiobooks I truly think that listening to it is the way to go though. The cover for the audiobook is slightly different.

Moving Target (Elite Guardians #3) by Lynette Eason

Title: Moving Target (Elite Guardians #3)

Author: Lynette Eason

Pages: 336

Release Date: January 31, 2017

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Publisher: Revell

Format: Paperback (also available in eBook)

Note: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. I have chosen to write this review to express my personal opinion.

About the book:

     Intensity. Skill. Tenacity. The bodyguards of Elite Guardians Agency have it all.

     When Maddy McKay and Quinn Holcombe don’t show up for Quinn’s birthday party, his friends know that something is very wrong. Their search turns up little beyond evidence that Quinn and Maddy have vanished. And it soon becomes apparent that they did not leave of their own accord.

     Maddy awakens in a cement room with no idea where she is. But it’s not long before she realizes she’s in the clutches of a madman who exacts revenge through games—hunting games. His prey of choice? Humans. Now Maddy and Quinn must run for their lives and outwit their killer when their game begins.

     Because if they don’t win this game . . . they die.

My review:

     Heart-pounding romantic suspense at its best!

     This is a stand-alone story within a series. A number of the characters from the previous books have support roles in this one though.

     The two main characters, Maddy and Quinn, are so well developed that I connected with both of them really quickly after starting this book. They each have their own emotional baggage that keeps rearing its ugly head and getting in the way of moving on with their lives. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how they slowly faced up to it and figured out the steps they needed to take to work through it.

     This all takes place in the midst of being targeted by a madman who wants to kill both of them. The key though is that he wants to play some games and mess with their heads first. The plot is crafted so ingeniously that it really kept me guessing. In fact when the actual mastermind behind all the games is revealed I found that I had made a number of wrong guesses along the way.

     I have read and loved both of the previous books in this series. This one is no exception. It is fabulous and I’m highly recommending it! It gets a rating of 5 stars from me.
