Double Take by Lynette Eason

 



Back Cover:

Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army Criminal Investigation Division due to wounds sustained when an IED blew up near him. Now with the Lake City Police Department, he's rooming with this good buddy and partner, Cole, while he figures out his family dynamics.

Physician Assistant Lainie Jackson is eighteen months out from an attempted murder perpetrated by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the weapon and shoot him. When he appears to have survived and is back to finish the job he started, Lainie insists it's not possible. But someone keeps trying to kill her, and she keeps seeing his face.

Together, Lainie and James must work together to find out who, exactly, is after her and why he wants her dead. And failure is not an option.


Review: If you are looking for: a fierce protector, a gutsy heroine who refuses to be the victim, a twisted crime, a plot rife with questions and false leads - then Double Take is for you. 

If you read my reviews, you know I like my sleep. A lot. For me, the mark of an excellent book is one that hooks me on page one and keeps me up until I read the last page. This one totally did that. To be honest, I'm not sure what I wanted most - Lainie and James to solve the crime or... to finally kiss! I'm happy to report *spoiler* I was not dissapointed on either front.

This book has a strong faith message (Christianity), and the heros do their best to live in a manner that honours God despite being bombarded with darkness. A great story and I'm looking forward to book #2. Thank-you to Revell Reads for choosing me as one of your reviewers for "Double Take".
