Review – Active Defense

April 19, 2021 By The Suspense Zone

From the back cover:

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 thoughts: ACTIVE DEFENSE is the third book in  the series, but it stands alone. The book starts slow, but the relationships and the backstory is necessary as you attempt to figure out who-dun-it and why before all is revealed.

I’m an avid romantic suspense reader and I was kept guessing  as I read. I did figure it out before the end.

I couldn’t put this book down. The best in the series, so far.
