In the shadow of a threatening volcano, long-haul trucker Kit Garrido wakes up in her crashed big rig, unable to recall what happened or why she's suddenly in possession of someone's baby. Fiercely independent, she has to admit that perhaps this time she could use a little help.
As the threat of eruption grows, former cop Cullen Landry refuses to leave his cabin in the evacuation area, which is why he's the only one left who can help Kit escape the crumpled cab of her truck. He doesn't want to get tangled up in the mystery of the beautiful woman with an abandoned infant, but when he sees the bullet hole in the windshield and the bloody handprint on the interior, he realizes that he's in this thing, like it or not.
When two armed men with ill intent approach, the race is on to stay alive, discover the truth, and find the baby's missing mother--all while a deadly mountain rains fire from above.
Experience the explosive start to this nail-biting series from USA Today bestselling author Dana Mentink!

My Thoughts
This book had me at the edge of my seat turning the pages faster than I could read the words to find out what was going to happen!! Goodness, it felt like each new page was a new suspense element that just kept you reading. Cullen, Kit and Baby Tot's life was at stake and I definitely needed to know what was going to happen. In the midst of all this suspense there is plenty of romantic tension and the Cullen with baby Tot is completely swoon-worthy!
Dana Mentink did an excellent job with this story. It was the best balance of suspense, romance and faith that definitely kept wanting you long for more. I can't wait to continue the series and see the characters again but also hoping that we get to see more of Gideon and his story!

About the Book
Book: Target Acquired
Author: Lynette Eason
Genre: Romantic Suspense/ Dual Timeline
Series: Lake City Heroes, Book 2
Release Date: August 2024
Publisher: Revell
Cole Garrison is a man with deep faith who is finally ready to settle down and build a family of his own--if he can find the right person, that is. Kenzie sure has set off his interest meter, but trouble seems to follow in her wake. Since she joined the team, someone has begun to ambush and pick off team members, one by one.
It's all hands on deck to discover the culprit and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a sniper's bullet?
My Thoughts
This is a great second book for the Lake City Heroes series and it did not disappoint. The book has a dual time line which at first I wasn't sure how it would all tie in but boy did it come together nicely at the end. The historical timeline does add a depth to the story I didn't even know I needed. In the present time Ms. Eason had me at the edge of my seat with all the action and mystery that was happening and kept me turning the pages until I sadly came to the end and the book.
I really enjoyed Kenzie and Cole. It was great to see how their storylines and relationship developed. The SWAT team really came together for Kenzie after being so distant from her. The romance between Kenzie and Cole was a slow burn and although you may want it to move faster I think if flowed perfectly and made it more realistic.
Overall I thought this was a great story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and see some of these characters again.

My Thoughts
I always say that these Love Inspired Books though small are very mighty and this one is not exception. Immediately you are immersed into the nitty gritty of the story. This author does a great job at keeping you turning pages with all the action and twists she adds to her stories.
Here we meet Charlotte Walker who along with her K9 go on a rescue mission for a missing young woman. Things however go really bad. She stumbles into a trafficking ring that has been happening right on their "backyard" so to speak. Jonas who has his own past to deal with comes to help the ladies out and offers them refuge in a place he didn't think he would ever be returning.
I won't be giving you the whole book but overall I was definitely captivated and I was turning the pages with gusto trying to figure out how it was all going to end. If you like suspense books and need a quick read don't miss out on this one!

My Thoughts
This was a great start to the Undaunted Courage series! I was definitely captivated throughout the story and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. In this story we meet Bri and Marc. I really enjoyed both of these characters. They both had deep backstories that made their characters believable. Their romance was not fast but developed in a very sweet manner throughout the story.
We are also introduced to Bri's siblings which were delightful to get to know through the story and I am assuming that the other books on the series will be about them, at least I hope so because there is definitely more to their story.
The villain in the story was a bit predictable but that did not stop me from enjoying the story. There were so many other elements going on in the story that figuring out the villain right away was okay.
Overall I thought this was a good story and I can't wait to read the rest of the series! If you enjoy suspenseful stories with mystery then you may want to try this one out.

My Thoughts
If you have never read a Jaime Jo Wright book I honestly don't know what you are waiting for!! One book is all it took and I was hooked!! I mean if you like suspense/mystery novels with romance woven in and a dual timeline then you will totally love her books! I was SO excited to be part of her Influencer Team.. I may have had a total fangirl moment and squealed when I received the welcome email and the book! Here's the thing with her books you need to set some uninterrupted time aside because you are going to want to read it in one sitting oh and most of them you don't want to read in the dark, this one is one of them!
In this story we have two different timelines that intertwine beautifully. We meet Adria from the past timeline and Kailey from the present. Both women have gone through some traumatic experiences and are surrounded by secrets that lead to this manor house that is secluded and tucked away in the cliffs overlooking Lake Michigan. These two women, though centuries apart, are trying to solve the secrets surrounding the house and its inhabitants. I am not going to ruin the story or give anything away but let's just say that there is plenty of suspense, mystery and even a ghost?!
Oh, and let us not forget the leading men in this story!! The romance was totally there in a slow burn type that just keeps you reading and wanting to know more and how it will develop. The chemistry on the characters was done just right and the kisses!! SWOONY for sure!! The rest of the supporting characters were perfection especially Kailey's older brother who happens to be autistic. I thought that was a great addition to the story and written so well that he takes a place in your heart.
Overall I absolutely enjoyed the story and had me engaged the entire time. Jaime Jo Wright has such a way of weaving two storylines and making everything just click together. Nothing that she adds to the setting, characters or plot is by chance it all goes together to make one amazing story! Seriously go out and grab this book now!!
My Rating: 5 Stars/ LOVED IT!!
