Happy Friday, fellow readers! I hope you had a great week, and that you will find plenty of time for reading this weekend 🙂 Today I’m linking up with First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books, and sharing the first line and my review of Protecting Tanner Hollow by Lynette Eason.
“Bad things happened in the dark.”
Protecting Tanner Hollow by Lynette Eason
The Basics
Title: Protecting Tanner Hollow: Four Romantic Suspense Novellas
Author: Lynette Eason
Genre: Christian romantic suspense
My Rating: 3.5/5 stars
From the Back Cover:
Lethal Homecoming
Nolan Tanner never got over Kallie Ainsworth’s sudden, unexplained departure. Now when he comes to her rescue after an attempt on her life, all the old feelings come rushing back.
Lethal Conspiracy
When professional fundraiser Lillian Maloney sees her father’s campaign manager commit murder, she goes on the run from the men he hires to kill her. A close call brings firefighter Jason Tanner to the rescue, but the killer is closing in . . .Â
Lethal Secrets
Someone wants Honor McBride dead. When Eli Murphy helps her change a flat tire and discovers the danger Honor is in, he longs to help–but Eli has secrets of his own that could get them all killed.
Lethal Agenda
When Detective Derek St. John rescues a woman he’s met only once before–and has never been able to forget–he finds himself falling for her. But he’ll have to keep Claire Montgomery alive if they’re to have a future together.
My Thoughts
This is a collection of 4 novellas – honestly, I was mainly interested in the last one, since the Derek St. John was part of Lynette Eason’s last series 🙂 Usually I’m not much of a fan of novellas, since there isn’t as much time to weave a detailed plot or build the suspense. Even with those limitations, this was an enjoyable read! It was fun to see the unofficial conclusion to the Blue Justice series with Derek’s story, but I think my favorite novella was the third one. Honor and Eli were great characters, and I would love to read a full-length book about them!
If you’re a fan of Lynette Eason, you won’t want to miss Protecting Tanner Hollow!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Revell!
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Because of You” by Becky Wade:
“Maddie Winslow met the man of her dreams the same day that her friend Olivia introduced Maddie to her new boyfriend. Which would have been splendid, except that the man of Maddie’s dreams was Olivia’s new boyfriend.”
This week on my blog I shared the first line from Heart of a Royal by Hannah Currie. It’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from chapter 22 here: “The reception had been going on for hours–and no one seemed in any rush to end it.” Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
