Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for a review.

I am a recent Lynette Eason convert and I love her stories. They are thrilling and fast paced with great characters and unique conflicts. Kenzie and Cole are great main characters in this book and I loved watching them trying to solve the case and deal with the heightened emotions of being SWAT team members and targeted by someone unhinged. The mentions of faith in this book are so well done and I relaly enjoyed the way Kenzie and their friend group talk about it together. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts her. Rumor is, she didn't get the position because of what she could do but because of who she knew. Which means she has to work harder and longer than anyone else to prove herself.
Cole Garrison is a man with deep faith who is finally ready to settle down and build a family of his own--if he can find the right person, that is. Kenzie sure has set off his interest meter, but trouble seems to follow in her wake. Since she joined the team, someone has begun to ambush and pick off team members, one by one.
It's all hands on deck to discover the culprit and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a sniper's bullet?

Another great book by Lynette Eason. Kenzie King has worked hard for her position as medic on the SWAT team but... Highly recommend this book if you like suspense and action. A little romance thrown in and a lot of action. This is an edge of your seat book and you can't figure out till the end who is the problem. Pre-order yours today.

Terrific romantic suspense. It kept me turning the pages and guessing to the end. Action packed and a few misty moments. I am eager to read the next one. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

How the different stories from different eras intertwined throughout this book kept me engaged. There were numerous times I felt for Kenzie as she struggled to understand if she was accepted in her SWAT unit and even in her own family.
To find out that Kenzie has more friends than she realized, warmed my heart.

I am enjoying this series very much and can not wait for the next installment.

I received a complimentary copy of the book from Revell through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Lynette Eason has done it again! This book caught my attention from the first page and all the way to the end. It had lots of action and twists and turns throughout. If you enjoy good, clean romantic suspense novels, I highly recommend this book.

I received an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Target Acquired was my first novel by Lynette Eason. I was excited to find a Christian based book that was a mystery/thriller and romance. I really appreciate the author for stepping into the genre because I find that a lot of Christian fiction is strictly romance.

All that being said I really wanted to like this book but in all honesty it fell a little short for me. I found the premise of the book was intriguing, however the execution with unbelievable. I wanted this to be a thrilling page turner and it just wasn’t for me. There were awkward moments in dialogue between characters that I didn’t think were needed. I did appreciate the thread of the characters Christian faith in the story.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bakers Publishing Group for the ARC for my honest review.

Kenzie King has finally got her dream job. Tactical medic on a SWAT team. Some of the team members don't think she belongs there. One of their friends applied for the job and she got it. Plus she's a woman. Cole Garrison is in charge of the SWAT team. He has to be careful not to cross any lines as he has known Kenzie for a long time. He also as feelings for her that he wants to hide. Things get worse when someone keeps trying to kill Kenzie and it doesn't seem to matter who gets in the way.

I like the action and how Cole and Kenzie worked out their feelings for each other. It kept me reading till the end.

I received this book from Revell Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

Kenzie King serves as a medic on the SWAT Team, having earned her place through hard work. Raised alongside her older brothers, she's as tough as any member of the team. The team leader, Cole Garrison, is intentionally maintaining a distance from Kenzie. It appears that someone is targeting their team, with Kenzie being the primary focus. Her father, once the police chief, was injured in an accident that claimed her mother's life, and he suspects it was no mere accident. As the perpetrator continues to target the team, bringing Kenzie and Cole closer, the team faces challenges.

3.5 stars I had an ARC from netGalley for this book and I appreciated them giving me a copy. This is the 2nd in the series and the characters are introduced in book 1 of the Lake City Heroes series. The action was good but I feel it was kind of over the top. The story was good. I guess I found it a little odd that a person who had gone through med school and became an MD would want to be on a SWAT team and push so hard to be a part of it. There is a dual timeline showing snippets of the lives of the grandparents of the two main characters. and it showed that there were ties to the two characters that went way back in time. The ending had a twist that I really didn't see coming so that is always a plus for me. A good, Christian, romantic suspense and a win for Eason. I was invested in the book from start to finish even though there were little parts that didn't quite ring true to me.

This was another intensely action packed book #2 in the Lake City Heroes series. It can, however, be read as a standalone too.

I was invested from the very beginning. Even when I wasn't able to sit and read, I couldn't wait to get back to the characters to see what was going to happen next.

Lynette Eason knows how to develop her characters in such a way that you find yourself cheering for them or infuriated with them. I went back and forth with who I thought the suspect was, but in the end, guessed correctly.

I look forward to continuing the series and getting to know more of the characters along the way.

I was graciously given an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Such a great book! I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series!

I received an ARC copy of this book and all opinions are my own.

I love this 2nd book in the Lake City Heroes series! It does have a little bit of split-time going on in this story, which I was not expecting... but thankfully, not a lot of the historical part, and both stories are good. I like both of the main characters, Kenzie and Cole, and the split-time part is about their ancestors. You will recognize some of the characters from the first book, if you have read it!
If you like romantic suspense, I think you will enjoy this book!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance e-copy of this book! All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Lynette Eason heads off in a new direction in Target Acquired, and it’s a winner! Written with a historical plotline that influences the present, this new novel is a double-header, and I love this new style.

I don’t know if there’s enough of that former arc to call it a dual-timeline story – probably not – but it is enough to make the historian in me sit up and take notice. I love the way that Eason added a mystery to the past, giving us more bad guys, more things to figure out, and a more intricate plot.

I loved both parts. I love the way the heroine in the past stood up for herself in a time when that wasn’t easy, and I love the way that Kenzie tried hard to do the right thing when everything was stacked against her. I enjoyed seeing how her personal past made who she is and also how she grew past the flaws inherent in that history. She’s a cool leading lady.

Eason has created a really fun cast of characters in this series. I love reading about courageous people who are all in for their friends, and this Lake City Heroes series is comprised of exactly that. Eason doesn’t usually include history in her books, but by doing so here, these enjoyable characters became even more real.

I didn’t think the Lake City Heroes series could possibly improve, but Target Acquired is even better than the first book – and that’s saying something. Don’t sit on this novel – it’s a great summer read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Another great book from Lynette Eason! If you enjoy suspense with a little romance too, you will enjoy this book. Target Acquired is the 2nd book in the Lake City Heroes Series but stands alone as well so you don't have to have read the first book. (Although it is likely you will want to).

Kenzie King's hard work to has gotten her to her dream job as a medic for the SWAT team finds herself in a struggle to accepted as an equal team member on the all male team. That becomes even more complicated when she finds herself the target of a killer that puts not only her, but the whole team in danger.

One of the things that I love about Lynette's books is the character development. They are real people with real struggles, real emotions, real relationships. People that I feel like I could be friends with.

I loved the dual storyline in this book and how the story of Kenzie and Cole's grandparents weaves into their present lives.

If you are like me, it's a hard to put down until you are finished, kind of book and you will enjoy every minute.

This book had me wanting to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next! I have to admit a the first chapter or two was a little slow and I was confused because it started a long time in the past. After the beginning couple chapters I loved it and I realized why it started in the past. I thought I had the book figured out then I kept reading and what I thought was incorrect. Once again Lynette Eason wrote a book I loved. I am so happy I was chosen to be one of the readers before the book was actually released! When this book is released I am sure everyone will love the book if they like any of Lynette Eason's other books!

I just finished reading Lynette Eason’s newest book from her Lake City Heroes series, Target Acquired, in 1 afternoon. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer because I loved these characters so much, I want to hang out with them forever!
It can be hard to find a good suspense thriller that is also in the Christian genre, and so when I found Eason’s books, I started devouring them immediately. I love the relationships she captures- I wish I could find such a wonderful group of friends in real life- but when you dive into her world, you feel like you’re a part of it. Eason writes strong, smart, enduring female leads and strong, capable men to be their counterparts. I thoroughly enjoy every book, but this Lake City Heroes series is by far my favorite and I cannot wait for the next one to come out.
I will admit that, especially in the beginning, I had a little trouble keeping all the characters straight in my head, but the character guide at the beginning helped with that. I noticed a few minor consistency issues (such as calling Nathan James’ new partner but then the next story has him working with an entirely different partner- a detail which could change prior to publication), but nothing that distracted me from the great storytelling, engaging writing, and fantastic characters and character development. Highly recommend anything by Lynette Eason, but especially this series!

I like it that Lynette Eason does not only have heroes but heroines, and sometimes they're the ones to save the day.
The case is suspenseful, intertwined with an old case and ancient family history. It couldn't get more personal.
The love story doesn't bring anything new. She has fallen for him years ago but believes he's out of reach. He was disappointed and now has trust issues. Working together, they both try to keep it friendly and professional.

Target Acquired
There is absolutely nothing better than reading another amazing mystery by Lynette Eason. "Target Acquired" is a must read! This is the second book in the "The Lake City Heroes" series. This could be read in order or it could stand alone.

Cole Garrison is the leader of Lake City swat team. He has a strong christian, whom was hurt in the past but is so ready to move on. Will that person be Kenzie King. He is very protective of Kenzie King and struggles with his feeling as her boss.

Kenzie is a strong woman that has to prove she is the best person for this all male swat team. Will she be able to continue to prove herself or will she give up because someone is trying to get her to throw in the towel.

The characters are well written and very likable. The storyline pulled me in from the very beginning and was hard to put down.

I highly recommend this book!

I received this advanced copy from the publisher company through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine and mine alone.

I am always ready to dive into another suspense book and Lynette Eason is a favorite of mine! Target Acquired had moments of action and danger that took me by surprise and kept the characters looking over their shoulders until the final pages. I struggled a bit with this book and here are a few of the reasons. Kenzie and Cole had a bit of an awkward dynamic that really didn’t draw me into the story, and I felt like there was absolutely no romance or chemistry between the two of them. I really didn’t love the split time or historical aspect of this book at all. I didn’t feel like the connection to the present day circumstances were plausible enough to devote that many pages of the book to things that happened in the past. Without giving spoilers it’s hard to explain that more thoroughly, but I felt like those sections really took me out of the story and slowed the pacing down. The conclusion was hard for me to accept realistically.
While this book wasn’t my favorite there were still plenty of moments of danger and suspense to keep things interesting and getting to know characters from past and future books is always fun! Looking forward to the next in this series!

Target Acquired is another fantastic book by Lynette Eason.

Kenzie and Cole's story is so exciting from beginning to end. Kenzie being targeted, plus trying to fit in with an all male swat team, is stressful enough. Coupled with her growing feelings for her boss, Cole makes for a lot of tension in her life.
Cole is also wrestling with his feelings for Kenzie, plus dealing with her being someone's target.
The story kept me guessing. Every time time I thought I knew who was targeting her, I was wrong. The ending really blew my mind. Was not ready for that.
