Book Blurb

Dr. Ivy Collins, founder and CEO of Hedera, Inc., is ready to begin clinical trials of her company’s cutting-edge prosthetic. Her work has been heralded by government, medical, and advocacy groups and everyone hopes the device will be a success. Well, almost everyone. Someone is trying to sabotage Hedera and the launch, but to what purpose–and how far will they go to get what they want?

Meanwhile, U.S. Secret Service Agent Gil Dixon can’t believe he’s finally been reunited with Ivy, his childhood best friend. Now that he’s found her again, Gil intends to spend the rest of his life with her. But it will take all his skill to uncover the truth in time to save Ivy’s life’s work, her own life, and the innocent lives caught in the crossfire.

Perfectly balancing chilling suspense and uplifting romance, award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn delivers a story of revenge, greed, and overcoming that you won’t want to put down no matter how late it gets. 

My Thoughts

My love for Lynn H. Blackburn’s books is largely rooted in her fantastic characters. Put these characters in an interesting plot, and I will be up late with very little regrets the next morning.

Gil and Ivy captured my attention in Unknown Threat, so of course I needed their story. Blackburn exceeded my expectations. Gil is a hero worth rooting for, and Ivy is strong in her own right. Their story reminds me somewhat of Adam and Sabrina’s, a strong, dedicated man and a genius heroine who can’t be classified as a damsel in distress when she holds her own just as much.

Add the high stakes, sizzling chemistry, and a puzzling mystery, and you have a book that’s impossible to put down.

As for the faith element, there’s great discussion about relying on God and His protection. It definitely gives you something to think about.

Overall, Malicious Intent is a gripping romantic suspense with great characters and an engaging plot.
