I’ve read several books by Lynette Eason and have always enjoyed them. This one was no different. It’s fast paced and easy to read and hard to put down at times. I highly recommend this book you won’t be disappointed.

What a read! This book was a race from page one and a great wrap up yet stood alone so well. Ava is connected to a serial killer somehow. And the race is on to figure out why and thwart the man’s plan. Laced with secrets and international intrigue, it has the trademark pacing and rich conflict (both external and internal I’ve come to love and expect from this author.

This book has it all: spies, car chases, secrets, romance, and returning characters from previous books, twists and turns and a surprise ending. Very fast paced action

This book was a thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning. Bodies are dropping like flies and Caden believes Ava might be the connection he needs to stop a killer. They join forces as clues lead to more clues. Can he keep Ava safe, or will his attraction to her get in the way?
I loved Ava’s complexities and Caden’s steadfast, stick-to-her-side determination, even when he finds she has the skills to take care of herself.
All of the characters are well written, believable, and atypical—no cookie cutter people here. They are written in a way that made me love or hate them, and even feel empathy for the villain. This is the mark of a great writer.
I highly recommend this book for romantic suspense lovers. You won’t be disappointed.
I received this book courtesy of Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group through NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I love this author and everything I've read of hers. She knows how to get the attention of the reader very quickly. I am amazed at how she keeps you on the edge of your seat, and makes the story flow so smoothly. The best part is that it's all done with integrity and nothing vulgar! I always recommend this author to everyone.
Thanks for another great book!!

Lynette Eason is back! I have been reading her books for years and haven’t been as intrigued by the last few releases. However, all that has changed with Hostile Internet. I could not put this book down! Nonstop action and suspense fill every page, plus Caden and Ava’s relationship is worth rooting for throughout their narrow escapes. Great read!

Good characters, lots of action, part of of a series, but can be read all by itself. What more can you ask for?

ava is taking care of her mother she was in the Navy but got an early discharge because they do not give her long to live. now someone is killing people all over the country. Caden is FBI and believes ave mey know something about it. and maybe her late father is the key. but can they outsmart the villian. if you like mysteries and romance you will want to read this story very well written and you get to meet some of the friends from other books. it will keep you wondering who else may be a bad guy or not. Ava has to try and remember what her father taught her in games and puzzles to survive and who can she trust. Caden is doing his best to help her he has been there helping with her mother and now in keeping her safe . i was given a copy of the book by netgalley but this is an honest review.

"Hostile Intent" is the fourth book in the "Danger Never Sleeps" series by Lynette Eason. I've never read a book by Eason, but I'm so excited to pick up the previous books in this series and was also glad that this book could even be read as a standalone novel. Eason is the author of many inspirational suspense/romance books, and sometimes inspirational authors can oversimplify the storyline. I didn't feel this way with Eason's book. The storyline was well constructed and it didn't feel like the typical inspirational novel. The main characters, Ava and Caden, must work together to discover why family murders are happening all over the country and how they're related to Ava's deceased (or is he?) father. I enjoyed the mystery, romance, and storyline of this novel.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Oh my.
Buckle up your seatbelt and hang on for the ride through the fast-paced, fully leaded reader experience of Hostile Intent, by Lynette Eason. This is the most exciting book of the series and I could not put it down.

The story follows Ava and Caden, characters we’ve been introduced to before in the Danger Never Sleeps series. When a series of seemingly random murders happen across the US, FBI agent Caden Denning is on the case. Ava Jackson is grieving the loss of her father and trying to care for her dying mother. Caden and Ava’s lives will intersect, connecting them intimately to espionage, the former KGB, and the fight to uncover the truth about Ava’s father’s death.

This book has it all: car chases, shoot-outs, secrets, shocking discoveries, twists, and a surprise ending, all sprinkled with bits of romance. New characters are introduced (which I hope means more books in this series, or at least a spin-off series).

Readers are treated to updates on the previous heroes and heroines from books one through three. It’s possible to read this book as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the books leading up to this one. It will help understand the nuances of relationships.

I received an ecopy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

The fourth book in the danger never sleep series and definitely worth the read. It is jammed packed with action, mystery, a little bit of romance and friends from previous books in the series. I love Lynette Eason books!

This can be read as a stand-alone book but reading the previous books explains who the minor characters are (each of the couples had their own stories). I recommend reading the previous books for this reason.

I got this in exchange of an honest review. It's worth the money and I would happily buy it without regret.

Hostile Intent by Lynnette Eason is a rush through spies and Russian KGB. Suspense. Check. Hints of Romance between the heroine and hero. Check. Running for their lives. Check. Just what I want in a suspense novel. The action was definitely worth keeping an eye on. Like all of Eason's novels, the stories were well-written, and just the way I enjoy them. There is a scene with a drone. This is the first one I have encountered in a suspense novel, and I actually really enjoyed it. From the first chapter Ava and Caden were chasing the clues, hunting for the reality of why these families were dying. The romance was not over the top either. There were moments where the romance came to the front of the story, but I honestly, did not mind it. With Eason, I know this is not the whole storyline. The suspense is. Overall, Hostile Intent by Lynette Eason is a wonderful way to end this four book series. I can't honestly wait to see what she comes up with next.

I received a complimentary copy of Hostile Intent by Lynette Eason from Revell Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.
