Great read, May 16 2011

Carly Masterson, a deputy U.S. marshal, has been ordered to guard the judge that let a criminal go free, a criminal who murdered her mentor right after being released. Can she put away her anger to protect Nick, who she has a strange attraction to despite his role in her mentor's death?
I enjoy Lynette's books, and this one is no exception. The plot is interesting and well-developed. 'The characters are unique and likeable. Carly is a strong character who battles between her heart and her duty, which is a conflict a lot of women face. The idea of judges being paid off for a verdict or even threatened for a verdict is an interesting one, and I have to wonder how many cases are influenced by outside sources. What I like about the Love Inspired Suspense books is that the romance is not the main storyline. It is a nice bonus, but solving the mystery drives the story.
If you enjoy Christian suspense with a little kick of romance, check out all of Lynette Eason's books.

Mystery Romance and Murder, Jan 28 2012

This review is from: Protective Custody (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a wonderful story with some interesting twists and turns. Maybe not my favorite Lynette Eason books, it does have merit. Carly the marshal assigned to protect the judge is not only holds the judge responsible for her mentor's death but she's angry with God. Throughout the story she struggles with her feelings toward the judge as well as her feelings toward God. The judge is not perfect either as he struggles to trust God to protect his nephew knowing they are dealing with cold blooded killers who killed his wife and sister just a couple years earlier.

Boring, Nov 30 2011

Boring, that's the only way I can describe this book. I never finished it. When I put it down, I didn't care if all of the characters just disappeared. The plot was just so over the top and the lead character too manly for my taste.
