Get ready for triple the excitement, intrigue, and romance with three heart-stopping stories from your favorite romantic suspense authors!
In On the Run, Lynette Eason introduces you to IT Specialist Daria Nevsky, a highly skilled FBI agent with the ability to hack any computer. She must go on the run to find out who wants her dead–and Dr. Ryker Donahue refuses to let her do it alone.
In Deadly Objective, Lynn H. Blackburn throws physical therapist Emily Dixon and Secret Service Agent Liam Harper into an impossible situation. They don’t know why the vice president’s son seems to be in the crosshairs of a killer, but they’ll sacrifice anything to keep him safe.
In Caught in the Crosshairs, Natalie Walters pits former Army PSYOPS officer Ari Blackman against his colleague, CIA officer Claudia Gallegos, when Claudia is implicated in the murder of a Saudi prince. Can he prevent a coup that would put America at risk?

I have read books by all three of these authors, and they never disappoint. This is true with this new book which includes three novellas that tie to other series that they write. I am always impressed by authors that can pack action and romance into a shorter story that doesn’t leave you wanting more. Ok, well, sometimes you want more, but everything is nicely wrapped up within that novella.
All three stories are action-packed from start to finish and feature strong women who know how to get the job done. All three feature different branches of the government – CIA, FBI, and Secret Service – and it is intriguing to see how they all act and react the same, yet sometimes differently, too. Love can be found right under their noses, and despite trying to fight it, reality sinks in, and each woman accepts that the man in front of her is the right one for her.
While I don’t want to play favorites, I think my favorite story was Deadly Objective by Lynn Blackburn. Something about this pairing of a physical therapist and Secret Service agent and the tense situations they endured touched me. Perhaps it was the teen that they were protecting from himself and others.
That isn’t to say that On the Run by Lynette Eason didn’t grab my attention, with Ryker expanding his patient care beyond the hospital walls. Daria was a smart cookie on top of that, and despite her upbringing with a mob father, she runs the straight and narrow.
Caught in the Crosshairs has a swoony analyst, Ari, who has women fawning all over him no matter where they go. Perhaps that is why he has the playboy and James Bond nicknames. That doesn’t stop Claudia from getting her man, both in the field and in love.
These are perfect for reading over lunch or before you turn out the light…but you might have difficulty putting the book down!
We give this book 5 paws up.

I also do not want to play favorites, but if forced, Deadly Objective is also my fav in the collection!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this review and can’t wait to read this — for exactly why you said: quick lunchtime reading, fully developed stories, endings wrapped up neatly. (And suspense!!) Thanks for a great review to kick off the tour.
