About this ebook

Mackenzie Hanson's special set of skills opened the door to a successful career as a professor of cybersecurity at a Michigan university, allowing her to put her criminal past behind her. But when a long-ago partner in crime delivers a cryptic message about her father's tech company being under cyberattack, she heads for Montana to secure exposed assets, close security breaches, and hopefully save lives.

Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight is back home in Montana to decompress from a mission gone wrong. But even as he's trying to relax, he's drawn into another mystery, complete with suspicious deaths, lethal threats, and whispers of espionage that all have one thing in common--a beautiful cybersecurity expert with a dark past.

When the situation turns deadly, Alex and Mackenzie will have to work together to find the answers they need--before someone silences Mackenzie for good.

USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard weaves a tangled web of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping romance in this fast-paced conclusion to her Rocky Mountain Courage series.

Ratings and reviews

Critical Alliance is a well-written romantic suspense novel. The main characters have interesting back stories that make their actions believable. I found Alex and Mackenzie to both be very likable. The dialogue seemed natural for the characters and the situations that they were in. I was happy to see them get their HEA. The plot is tight and twisty, and I really didn't see the end coming like it did. There is nail-biting action.

Critical Alliance is book 3 in Elizabeth Goddard's Rocky Mountain Courage series, and it finishes out the series nicely. Although we get to hang out some with the characters from other books, this book mainly features Mackenzie, a former cybercriminal who is trying to help her sister save their family's company, and Alex, a special agent who is in Montana with family after a difficult mission. They have great interaction...even if they aren't quite as open with each other at the beginning....until there's no choice but to work together closely and honestly. Critical Alliance is a fast-paced, page-turning Christain romantic suspense. There's danger, intrigue, cyber criminals, interesting characters, and an intriguing storyline. It's scary to think some of the cyber crimes mentioned could actually happen. I highly recommend this book and the whole series. Many thanks to Revell and NetGalley for advance copies of this book (both ebook and trade size paperback). My thoughts and opinion

This is book three in the Rocky Mountain Courage series, however this is a stand alone book. You will miss the history of some of the characters (plus some good reads) but will not be lost, if this is your first book in the series to read. Alex Knight we met in previous books but this one we focus more on him. When he runs into Mackenzie Hanson he can't believe his luck. Mackenzie and Alex must work together to try and solve a cyber crime and stay alive. This book is full of mystery, drama, wit
