Sandra Robbins (–2018)

Within the first few pages of this exceptionally well written book, I could feel my heart pumping. As Lainey feels the presence of someone in the house, she knew trouble was close by. I literally sat on the edge of my seat as the scene played out. The writing is so intense and detailed that I began to feel like I was there watching everything in real time. It is not easy to write at that caliber, but the author has brilliantly delivered a first rate action packed thriller .

Ash is as tough as show more they come. He has been part of The Firebrand. It is a group of the very best of trained men to undertake assignments from the American government . Their assignments are dangerous but rewarding. Now it seems that the group is being taken in a new direction and Ash has to decide if he wants to train others to continue the work that Firebrand is famous for. As Ash sits at the diner, he notices how empty it is. When the waitress cones over, his guard is up as she calls him by name. How did she know his name? What message was written on the ticket the waitress left at the table?

Lainey has kept a secret from Ash that will take him by surprise. Will this secret put people in danger? As Ash is called home he can feel the tension in the air between him and Lainey. I loved the chemistry between them. They have a lot of emotions to work through. The author does an incredible job of bringing two people together as they sort through forgiveness, deceit, danger and a bit of romance that makes the book so powerful. Be prepared for action at the highest level in this fast paced story that delivers twists that you don't see coming. I loved the first installment of this series and can't wait to purchase the next one when it is available. I have found a new author that writes with great depth, keeps readers guessing and a story that will have you on pins and needles.

Heroine Cheyenne Cassidy moves to the Smoky Mountains from Wyoming for a fresh start after the stalker (who was after her) killed her parents and later committed suicide. But suddenly, she starts getting text messages from, what it looks like, her stalker again. Is he dead, or isn’t he? The hero (deputy sheriff Luke Conrad) tries to help Cheyenne find some answers…

This was a really terrific read! It had a horrible, slippery villain who kept getting away from the police. I really liked show more the main couple. The heroine was very sweet and vulnerable, I felt bad for her and everything she had to go through with this villain. I really did like her profession, a trick rider. (She was performing at the Smoky Mountain Wild Wild West Show). It was interesting and different. She had a lovely horse she worked with called Patches. The hero was great, kind and protective, with his blue eyes and southern drawl. This story takes place around Christmastime.

A lively and exciting read! show less

TARGETED BY SANDRA ROBBINS
Wanted to read this book because of the action and adventure. It's so much more than that.
Starts out with Lainey and her son Max who are being threatened to get her brother in law to come back to the house.
Ash has been working out of CO when he gets a note to call home-he follows the waitress and finds the dead diner owner and the waitress and no sign of the woman who handed him the note. He alerts the authorities and calls Lainey and when he hears what she has to show more say he informs her he'll be home soon.
He arrives with help from Firebrand friends, a military trained group who sometimes help the US government out of sticky situations.
I have read other books along the same premise and the reads are action packed and fast paced, as is this one. You learn a lot just sitting back taking it all in-they tend to cover all the angles.
Threat of bombs, more death threats and Ash is handed a personal note from the lawyer from his dead brother...He's learning a few new things about Lainey and she's not as bad as he had feared-keeping everything for herself but for her son.
They know who the threats are coming from and try to anticipate what will happen next as Ash tries to keep Lainey and Max safe. Also chapters from the cartel with their plans.
He has a big decision to make: stay with Firebrand or go about his own business and/or stay to help with Max. He asks God for help and doesn't get a feel that he's there...
SO many twists and turns, the plot really keeps you interested in reading what's gonna happen next. good surprise ending, didn't see it going down that way.
Excerpt from the next book in the series in included at the end. Didn't read the prequel book but I didn't feel I was in the dark as some things are discussed from the past.
