Twilight Tactics

by Lynette Eason

FBI agent Collin Sullivan arrives at Broken Chains Ranch with Ollie Callahan--a foster teen and sole witness to a mob hit. The ranch, started by Collin's cousin to provide a trauma recovery facility for veterans, should be a place he can keep Ollie safe until the trial. But what was meant as a peaceful haven becomes a battleground when armed attackers surround the property.

Survival expert Elena Thompson teaches wilderness skills at the ranch and coaches Ollie in self-defense, but soon the series of attacks on the ranch escalates into a full siege. The question is, Who are the attackers after? Ollie, the young witness? Or Elena, with her mysterious past? Cut off from help by tech skills superior to their own, Collin and Elena fight to keep everyone alive as secrets and danger close in.

Reviews

[Anne Rogers · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy all of Lynette Eason's romantic suspense novels, and in this new series opener she ramps up the ante even more than usual.

Firstly, her romantic suspenses are quite light on the romance, which suits me as I'm more into the suspense bit than the romance. This one feels believable so far as the romance goes - apart from one moment which I won't give more details of here!

The story opens with a bang as FBI agent Collin 'Sully' Sullivan arrives at Broken Chains Ranch - just about! - with his agent partner Piper and Ollie, a teenager who is a vital witness in a murder trail. With their previous safehouses being found by those seeking to silence Ollie for good, Sully is worried about a leak in his team and he knows that Broken Chains Ranch, with its trusted staff and top notch security is their best hope for survival.

I really enjoyed this book, which is more suspense than cosy mystery. The pace barely lets up from the start and there are plenty of twists and turns. The 'prepper' community gives an unusal element to the story and is very well described. The two-story-in-one element gives plenty of 'bang for your buck' although I did ocassionally find myself getting a bit behind in the 'what, why, when, who' elements! Cleverly, although we open with one story (and that story is concluded within this book), it's the second strand which occupies much of this novel. I had my suspicions about one of the characters from early on, and although I ended up being right, this didn't diminsh the story in any way. Finding out why I was right took quite a bit longer!

Another top notch suspense romance from an author who consistently justifies her place at the top of the bestselling rankings.
