Review – Active Defense

She’s used to life-or-death situations.
She just didn’t expect them to follow her home.

When former field surgeon Heather Fontaine returns from a party to find that someone has broken into her house–and threatened her friends–she assumes it is the stalker who has been creeping her out. She hopes to find safety and peace of mind by leaving the city and hiding out in a small town. But trouble follows her even there.

Luckily, a stalker isn’t the only one observing Heather. Travis Walker has been secretly watching out for her for weeks. As owner of his own security agency, it’s what he does. Together, Travis and Heather must figure out who wants her dead–and why–before it’s too late.

My Take: This is book three in the Danger Never Sleeps series. I feel it is a stand alone, however you will miss history of some of the characters in this book, if you do not read book one (Collateral Damage) or two (Acceptable Risk) first. Not enough to leave you wondering what is going on, but enough you will probably want to read them all.

I love the writing style of Lynette Eason. She does a great job developing her characters, and their circumstances. This book is full of mystery, suspense, friendship, and of course romance. We reconnect with characters we met in previous books and learn more about them. Heather Fontaine has a lot to overcome and when she reluctantly must ask for help from her friends, she wonders if she has asked to much. Without giving anything away I absolutely loved the ending,
