Book Review: Double Take by Lynette Eason

 


Double Take by Lynette Eason - 5 Stars - Book 1 in the Lake City Heroes Series

I loved this story! A great start to a new Christian Romantic Suspense series! 

- Fast paced suspense story
- The best friend's brother trope
- Nice faith thread
- Crazy storyline of being stalked by your ex-fiancé that you thought was dead 

In this story, we have detective James Cross who works with the Lake City Police Department. He has a lot of crazy family dynamics going on so he's rooming with his friend and partner Cole. Cut to Physician Assistant Lanie Jackson who is 18 months post her attempted murder by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the gun and shoot him. He's been dead this whole time....or so she thought......is he back to finish the job? Crazy things start to happen where they are questioning if he is alive or dead and James steps in to help solve the case and protect Lanie. 

I loved this because James knew Lanie for most of his life as her best friends brother and the connection they had was great. I loved seeing them reconnect and the romance threads grow throughout the suspense. I definitely want to read the next book in the series! Bonus for a great narrator via audiobook.

Trigger warnings: Domestic violence, stalking, PTSD, panic attacks.

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope. Left uncertain of their future paths, Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide grapple with the ramifications of Arthur's will and the looming uncertainty surrounding their family's estate. As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story. I was very invested in the audiobook narration and learning about Sylvia and Junietta's past. We see the beauty of the Gospel in this story several times as our characters grapple with their past decisions, mi
