About this eBook

As a former field surgeon in Afghanistan, Heather Fontaine is used to life-or-death situations. She just didn't expect them to follow her home. When she returns from a party to find that someone has broken into her house--and threatened her friends--she assumes it is the stalker who has been following her and creeping her out. She hopes to find safety and peace of mind by leaving the city and hiding out in a small town. But trouble has followed her even there.

Luckily, a stalker isn't the only one watching Heather. Travis Walker has been secretly watching out for her for weeks. As owner of his own security agency, it's what he does. Together, Travis and Heather must figure out who wants her dead--and why--before it's too late.

Ratings and reviews

This is book three in the Danger Never Sleeps series. I feel it is a stand alone, however you will miss history of some of the characters in this book, if you do not read book one (Collateral Damage) or two (Acceptable Risk) first. Not enough to leave you wandering what is going on, but enough you will probably want to read them all. I love the writing style of Lynette Eason, she does a great job developing her characters, and their circumstances. This book is full of mystery, suspense, friendship, and of course romance. We reconnect with characters we met in previous books and learn more about them. Heather Fontaine has a lot to overcome and when she reluctantly must ask for help from her friends, she wonders if she has asked to much. Without giving anything away I absolutely loved the ending, I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion.

Active Defense Danger Never Sleeps #3 By Lynette Eason Heather Fontaine is haunted by her past - her childhood and the death of an Afghani teen. And now she is being stalked. But she has no idea who or why. But Heather being Heather refuses to ask for or accept help from her friends. Now those who mean the most to her are being threatened and she knows she has to disappear if she wants to keep everyone safe. When Heather disappears after a party, her friends aren't about to wait around for her reappear. And Travis Walker, who wants more than friendship with her, is going to put his skills as a security expert to good use. But with few clues to go on, keeping Heather safe is going to test them all. Active Defense is an intense read that gives nothing away so that the reader, like the characters, is kept in the dark as to just who is behind all the unrest in Heather's life. As the layers, in this case, are slowly revealed more questions than answers come to light. Can they find the link that will tie everything together before it is too late? That is a question you will have to answer for yourself, but I will say you won't regret the time spent discovering it. This is the third book in the Danger Never Sleeps series but if you haven't read the previous books that isn't a problem as each can be read as a standalone book. The book is well-paced, the characters fully developed, and the storyline attention-grabbing. If you like Romantic Suspense this book is one you will want to add to your 2021 to-be-read list. So sit back, curl up in your favorite corner, and escape into the pages of this book. I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

A quick-paced and explosively good book! Hannah Fontaine has returned from the battlefields of Afghanistan where she was a compassionate and caring surgeon. Unfortunately, the war seems to have followed her back to the states since her life is increasingly in danger as the plot progresses. With kidnapping, bombs, threats to friends and total chaos in her life, Hannah accepts the help of Travis Walker, a man who owns his own security company and who is determined to keep Hannah safe. With characters from previous books in the series playing key roles in this one, it was like seeing old friends again. I really enjoyed the intricacies of the plot and the “jump off the page” realism of the characters. I felt as though I was right there in the story with Hannah, with my heart pumping and my feet running. This book was a journey into the dark world of lack of forgiveness and revenge, with a stunning reveal of the villains at the end. My favorite character was a teen named Ryker, a young man with a hard life and a big heart. The author did a masterful job of creating a story that is compelling and riveting from the first page all the way to the end. Fans of romantic suspense mixed with a thriller will really enjoy this book. It can definitely be read as a standalone, but I enjoyed the entire series.
