Amazing! 'Unknown Threat' - Defend and Protect 1 - by Lynn H. Blackburn

 


About the book:

US Secret Service Special Agent Luke Powell is lucky to be alive. Three of his fellow agents have died in unusual circumstances in the past ten weeks. Luke is devastated by the loss of his friends and colleagues, and his inability to locate the killer feels like a personal failure. He and his team are experts at shielding others, but now the protectors are in need of protection.

FBI Special Agent Faith Malone is driven to succeed and confident in her ability to solve every case she's assigned. She's been put in charge of the investigation into the unprecedented attacks, and with Luke's life in danger, the stakes have never been higher. But it's hard to know how to fight back when you don't know who the enemy is.

Luke has teamed up with Faith before, but he's not convinced she's up for the job and she's not convinced he's telling her everything he knows. As more agents are targeted, Luke and Faith will have to learn to trust each other and work together to bring a killer to justice and prevent any more names from joining their fallen brothers and sisters on the Secret Service Wall of Honor.

My review:

This was such a wonderful story, full of non-stop action and likeable characters and a great romance to boot!  There was one crazy situation after another so it was incredibly suspenseful but I also loved the interactions between the Secret Service agents and with Faith.  They were funny and had such a close bond with each other and I loved that they were people of faith.  Both Luke and Faith dealt with unforgiveness towards people in their past and grew in their faith throughout the story.  The romance was written well with Luke and Faith being attracted to each other but since they're colleagues they're trying to maintain professionalism and also work through issues that would stand in the way of a relationship.  There were some very sweet moments between them.  I liked that the characters seemed real, like Faith having an obsession with Cherry Coke and how they butted heads at the beginning of the investigation.  It was also great to see characters from Lynn's other series show up here.  I can't wait for the next story.  I highly recommend it!

I received this book free from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
