Lantern Beach Blackout: The Complete Series Boxed Set
All four books in the Lantern Beach Blackout series are now available in one set!
Dark Water
A FORMER NAVY SEAL HAUNTED BY HIS PAST
Colton Locke can’t forget the black op that went terribly wrong. Desperate for a new start, he moves to Lantern Beach, North Carolina, and forms Blackout, a private security firm. Despite his hero status, he can’t erase the mistakes he’s made.
A WIDOW WITH SECRETS
For the past year, Elise Oliver hasn’t been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to her husband’s death than she was told. When she finds a hidden box of his personal possessions, more questions—and suspicions—arise. The only person she trusts to help her is her husband’s best friend, Colton Locke.
THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
Someone wants Elise dead. Is it because she knows too much? Or is it to keep her from finding the truth? The Blackout team must uncover dark secrets hiding beneath seemingly still waters. But those very secrets might just tear the team apart.
Safe Harbor
A JOB AS EASY AS SUNDAY MORNING
Guilt over past mistakes haunts former Navy SEAL Dez Rodriguez. When he’s asked to guard a pop star during a music festival on Lantern Beach, he’s all set for what he hopes is a breezy assignment.
UNTIL HE MEETS BREE JORDAN
Bree hasn’t found fame to be nearly as fulfilling as she dreamed. Instead, she’s more like a carefully crafted character living out a pre-scripted story. When a stalker’s threats become deadly, her life—and career—are turned upside down.
DANGER RISES UP THE CHARTS
From the start, Bree sees her temporary bodyguard as a player, and Dez sees Bree as a spoiled rich girl. But when they’re thrown together in a fight for survival, both must learn to trust. Can Dez protect Bree—and his carefully guarded heart? Or will their safe harbor ultimately become their death trap?
Ripple Effect
A CHOICE THAT HAUNTS HIM
Griff McIntyre never expected his ex-wife and three-year-old daughter to come to Lantern Beach. After an abduction attempt, they’re desperate for safety. Now Griff’s not letting either of them out of his sight.
A DESPERATION THAT BINDS THEM
Bethany knows Griff is the only one who can protect them, despite the fact that he broke her heart. But she’ll do anything to keep her daughter safe—even if it means playing nicely with a man she can’t stand.
A DANGER THAT PULLS THEM APART
As peril ripples through their lives, Griff and Bethany must work together to protect their daughter. But an unseen enemy wants something from them . . . and will stop at nothing to get it. When disaster strikes, can Griff keep his family safe? Or will past mistakes bring the ultimate failure?
Rising Tide
A FORMER SEAL UNDER SCRUTINY
Benjamin James knows there’s a traitor within his former command. The rest of his team might even think it’s him. As danger closes in, he must clear himself and stop a deadly plot by a dangerous terrorist group.
A WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
All CJ Compton wanted was a new start after her career ended under suspicion. Working as the house manager for private security group Blackout seems perfect. But there’s more trouble here than what she left behind.

Lantern Beach Blackout: The Complete Series Boxed Set by Christy Barritt is the perfect gift set. I have read each and every book in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed each one. Ms. Barritt is the master of constant suspense and romance, all in a clean, fun to read format. My only complaint about this series is that I wish I had waited to read them all at once in this set! These are the books you want to take with you to the beach or on vacation. They are all solid reads that you can depend on. I received digital copies of the books from the author with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Danger, Mystery, and Intrigue abound in this set of Lantern Beach Blackout Mysteries! Former Seals come together on Lantern Beach to make up a very talented security team. Get to know the four SEALS -- Colton, Griff, Ben, and Dez -- as they rescue the endangered, solve murders, and protect the innocent. I loved this set and hated to see it end. Each of the men has emotional baggage from their time overseas, and has to deal with it once out of the military but together they form an elite team that can get the job done!

After referencing the Blackout Security team in the Lantern Beach series, Christy Barritt gives fans what they've asked for: a spin-off with individual books for the original group. The mysteries and situations are gripping and the endings are fulfilling. Spend several evenings with the crew and learn why readers asked for more!
I received a complimentary copy of the series without obligation. This review is my opinion.

Another excellent series.
Really enjoyed another series from Lantern Beach. Glad to read the Blackout guys find romance and save Lantern Beach. Also glad to see the other characters from some of the other series in this series especially Cassidy. She's my favorite character. Now to read the next series with Cassidy and Ty. This series stressed trust among friends when they think there's a traitor in their midst. Another winner series by Christy Barritt.

WOW! Awesome action!
Really liked reading the books. I will have to confess that I was always anxious for my downtime to get back into it. Sometimes I even “borrowed” a little work time to read these exciting novels🥴
I have read others very similar and put these right with the best!
Thank you for your time in writing the books and I’m looking forward to reading more from the same author👍

Another Lantern Beach Universe Series Read
Another Lantern Beach Universe Series Read. I love reading especially from Christian authors that show creativity and faith in God. I found the first book in Lantern Beach Universe just a few months ago and have enjoyed every bit. I love suspense and solving mysteries. These beautifully created characters are captivating as well as the story lines are an enjoyment to read through.

I had an Advance Readers Copies of each of the books in this set, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Christy Barritt is a great storyteller! She uses varied plots, and interesting characters in each of her books, who have real problems. Each book holds your interest with a bit of romance and intrigue. I highly recommend reading this set.

Adrenaline Rush!
Follow these former Navy Seals on dangerous missions. These stories are filled with page turning suspense! Loved the characters on the Blackout team. You will want to read these in order as the main storyline continues throughout the series. There were definitely a few surprises at the end!

Lantern Beach Blackout Series
Christy Barrier is one of my favorite authors. This was another great series on Lantern Beach Island and it lived up to her reputation for great characters, intriguing mysteries, and some romantic tension while giving glory to God and staying clean. Loved it!!!

Exciting espionage
This series is fast paced military espionage/ mysteries galore with surprising twists and turns! You're not sure who to trust as the story unfolds. Somewhat formulaic with the predictable romance but a great read!

All the Key Elements
This boxed set was fun to read. It was my introduction to Christy Barritt as an author. An idyllic island community, former Navy Seals, strong and beautiful women, terrorists and evil politicians…everything needed for interesting stories.

Started of good...however
Started off good with Cassidy and her undercover role from Seattle to lantern beach, however as the story continued into different stories for each couple it became very predictable and very mundane and kind of fizzled out towards the end.

Excellent reading!
You will not want to put the book down. Humorous, heart wrenching, suspenseful just to name a few emotions you will experience. So good.

clean and well written!
I love that these stories focus on what’s happening and less on the physical connection. Clean books that any age group can read!

DARK. WATERS
Questioning her husband’s death, though knew the risk when he was a Seal. When a home invasion caused her to run. The person she thought of was Colton. And he now was in Lantern Beach. There are more attempts made, while his agency, the former Seals try to figure out why. Good to see the different members and what is going on in their lives.
SAFE. HARBOR
Bree a well known pop star, coming to Lantern Beach for a concert. This was a smaller event than her others, and then she would have some down town. Before the concert ended shots were fired, and that was the start of Bree learning what her Business manager was really like. The endless list of people he had unpaid and mismanagement of funds for his own gain. Who was her real friends, she could think of one or two maybe, family said good bye to when when she left to follow her dream.
The plot was good, got to be a little long before winding it up. Staying here in Lantern Beach will give Dez and her time to get to know one another.
Good story giving a look into the life of a singer.
RIPPLE. EFFECT
Griff thinks walking away from his wife and little girl will protect them. Being a Seal and the black op’s they do, yet unable to share them, causes a lot of tension. A year separation, till he gets a call from her, her and Ada were in trouble. Bringing them to Lantern Beach for all around protection, didn’t happen. Who ever was out there knew there moves, and it was deadly. A story of the closeness of these Seals and their loved ones.
Got to be long at the end, overall a good story.
RISING TIDE
The banter continues between CJ and. Benjamin, pretending to be a couple as they work a case. In following a man and the meeting he was now at.
When the town of LB has a total black out. .Benjamin wonders if Bree and what they uncovered with the company she worked with The Savages are behind this. Trying to get answer that this team wanted was not coming forth. Overall a good series as we meet each of them. Will Daniel get the proper burial due him, and the evidence against him and this team cleared.

Enjoyed this series. The author keeps you interested in the plot of the story. I like the suspicion of the characters, and how they eventually prove themselves to be trusted. I will be reading more of Christys books, as she knows how to keep me “turning the pages”
