Crossfire

by Jodie Bailey

A DANGEROUS REUNION. After he couldn't save her brother, Army First Sergeant Josh Walker isn't about to let anything happen to Andrea Donovan. Josh may have saved her from one attack, but drug smugglers are desperate to get information about one of Andrea’s patients—a patient who’s disappeared without a trace. Despite the danger, the beautiful counselor refuses to hand over confidential files. Now Josh and Andrea have no choice but to battle on for their lives—and their love—or they'll be the latest casualty to get caught in the crossfire.

Andrea Donovan became a counselor for soldiers who were addicted and has PSTD in an effort to atone for not seeing the addiction her brother had. She tries through her work to lessen the guilt she feels over his death. Josh Walker, Army first sergeant, feels his own guilt over Andrea's brother's death and is determined that Andrea will not be harmed as he tries to figure out why one of his men is involved with men who are now trying to kill Andrea. He and Andrea fight for their lives as they try to solve the mystery. The more involved in the mystery they become, the move involved with each other they become.

This great story about Andrea and Josh kept me guessing and had some wonderful twists. Andrea is being threatened and pursued by mystery murderers and she and Josh have to figure out why before its too late. The suspense combined with a strong heroine and a handsome, conflicted hero, made for a killer romance set against the backdrop of a Georgia military base. I stayed up way too late reading because I couldn't put it down!

I liked the history and relationship between Andrea and Josh, although their reconnection after 17 years seemed overly convenient. I appreciated that the duo did involve the police throughout the investigation and did not go lone wolf, like teams sometimes do. I liked how they overcame their individual guilt complexes, but the story itself was hard to get into.

Fourth novel I've read by Jodie Bailey, and she's becoming one of my favorite authors. This one is excellent at leaving you wondering which of the supporting characters are to be trusted and which not so much. The consistent action keeps you at the edge of your seat.

An awesome read by a new-to-me author!

This is one of the most well-constructed, clever plots in this genre that I've ever read.

This book is completely clean in language and content.

I borrowed this book from the local pubic library.

Crossfire was a action packed book you find your self being the victim of drug dealers who are out for blood. Follow Dr. Andrea Donovan as she try's to help a patient who is trying to help keep her safe and the First Sergeant Josh Walker as he try to put the past behind him were he blames himself for his friends ( Donovan's Brother ) died of a drug overdose and he first sergeant for the death of a girlfriend too. And yet he and Andrea are pulled together by all of what is happening to them both. They both knew that God has plans for all of us.

I was into the beginning of this story, but as I kept reading this story didn't hold my interest.

Another new-to-me author, I read his book as part of a set and I loved it. I will be seeking more of her works in the future.

[John Hanscom · Rating 3 out of 5]

3½ at the outside. This was a romance novel by recipe. What turned me off was the female protagonist, a combat veteran, was unable to care for herself and needed to be rescued until the very end of the book. Would she have shown that spunk earlier.

"TOP PICK! Bailey skillfully addresses the stigma associated with mental health services and the military. As a military wife, Bailey generates characters and a plot that are multi-layered and wonderfully unpredictable (RT Book Reviews)". 4 1/2 stars

[Britney · Rating 4 out of 5]

Crossfire is a great blend of suspense and romance! Jodie Bailey tackles real-life issues in this fast-paced storyline. I enjoyed the interesting characters and the escalating danger and intrigue kept me turning the pages in anticipation!

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought the beginning and end were really good. The middle was a little slow but otherwise it's definitely a book worth buying. Enjoy reading!

The twist in this story made it an enjoyable book to read.
