For one journalist, the story of a lifetime is hitting too close to home

Sarah Denning is a military journalist with the Army in the Middle East when her convoy is attacked and she's taken hostage. When former Army Ranger Gavin Black is asked by his old unit commander--Sarah's imposing father--to plan an extremely risky rescue, he reluctantly agrees and successfully executes it.

Back in the US, Sarah is livid when she's discharged on a false psychiatric evaluation and vows to return to the Army. Until she learns of her brother's suicide. Unable to believe her brother would do such a thing, she puts her plans on hold and enlists Gavin to help her discover the truth. What they uncover may be the biggest story of Sarah's career--if she can survive long enough to write it.

Strap in for another breakneck nail-biter from bestselling romantic suspense author Lynette Eason that will have you up turning pages long into the night.

My thoughts (lvh):   Eason is one of my favorite romantic suspense writers, and her writing was  top-notch.  My beef with this book is not with the writing, but the characters.

Sarah is a very strong military woman whose goal in life is simply to antagonize dad. She is so hateful and annoying.  Gavin is a sweetheart, but more interested in mollifying Sarah than being a man.

The who-dun-it was well done, though, I had a vague idea and I was right.

If you like super strong military women and more gentle men, you might enjoy ACCEPTABLE RISK.  This book wasn't my favorite but I will read book 3.

I was given a copy free. AIl opinions are my own.
