She survived a murder plot and her attacker is dead--isn't he?

Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army's Criminal Investigation Division due to wounds sustained when an IED blew up near him. Now with the Lake City Police Department, he's rooming with his good buddy and partner, Cole, while he figures out his family dynamics.

Physician Assistant Lainie Jackson is eighteen months out from an attempted murder perpetrated by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the weapon and shoot him. When he appears to have survived and is back to finish the job he started, Lainie insists it's not possible. But someone keeps trying to kill her, and she keeps seeing his face.

Together, Lainie and James must work together to find out who exactly is after her and why he wants her dead. And failure is not an option.

Psychological Thriller

A great psychological thriller. Lainie is seeing a dead man, or is she? James is trying to protect her from whoever is after her and also figure out who is targeting her. This book is full of action and suspense from the very beginning. it pulls you in from the first page and doesn't let go. I think this is the best story yet from the author.

Nail-Biting Suspense

Double Take by Lynette Eason is the first book in her Lake City Heroes series. Lainie Jackson’s ex tried to murder her! Now, someone is trying to finish the job. This book was so intense! I was so tempted to just flip to the end to find out how it ended, just so I could get some relief from the stress and suspense! But, I didn’t. This story will take you on a nail-biting roller coaster ride! I received this book from the author for my honest review.

On the edge of your seat suspense

I received this book as an ARC with no expectation of a positive review. Double Take is the beginning of a new series for Ms. Eason. This is a story of Lanine who survived an attempted murder attack on her. She ended up killing him to save herself. Yet, eighteen months later, she is being gaslighted into questioning if he is really dead as attempts on her life start. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as well as keep you guessing until the end. It is a must read.

thrilling ride

Lynette Eason knows how to craft romantic suspense. The story starts out with a bang and keeps up the intensity and fast pace until the very end. James and Lainie are super cute together and I quite enjoyed the big brother of best friend trope. Both James and Lainie have dealt with major trauma in the past and this commonality brings them together, among many other things. I liked the villain's voice that pops up in the storyline, which added a different dimension to the plot. The thread of true forgiveness and unconditional love weaves throughout the interactions James and Lainie have with their respective families. The adrenaline-filled race to find the dangerous stalker had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. I loved the secondary characters and am totally invested in finding out what happens between Cole and Kenzie in the next book. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Revell and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
