Book Blurb

A stalker who wants to finish what he started. A US Marshal who’s vowed to protect his charge. And one woman who is determined to put the past to in the past.

Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it’s hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people’s lives, but because her stalker was never found, she’s never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up.

US Marshal Vincent Corelli’s job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs–whether it’s his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina’s past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn’t live long enough to do it.

My Thoughts

I have devoured this series like it’s my favorite cake. And then I sat on my hands impatiently while I waited to read Raina’s story.

Boy, was it was worth the wait!

Countdown is action-packed, as Lynette’s stories usually are. I was hooked from the beginning. But I have to mention the hunky US marshal. I love a good, protective man who is also good at communicating. Raina is a root-worthy character too. I love her drive and her resolve to face her past in order to protect innocent lives.

This novel had plenty of twists and turns that kept me hooked. And Eason delivers on a great conclusion not only to the story but to the series as a whole.

Overall, Countdown is a thrilling story with a beautiful romance that romantic suspense fans don’t want to miss.
