A FORMER NAVY SEAL HAUNTED BY HIS PAST

Colton Locke can’t forget the black op that went terribly wrong. Desperate for a new start, he moves to Lantern Beach, North Carolina, and forms Blackout, a private security firm. Despite his hero status, he can’t erase the mistakes he’s made.

A WIDOW WITH SECRETS

For the past year, Elise Oliver hasn’t been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to her husband’s death than she was told. When she finds a hidden box of his personal possessions, more questions—and suspicions—arise. The only person she trusts to help her is her husband’s best friend, Colton Locke.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

Someone wants Elise dead. Is it because she knows too much? Or is it to keep her from finding the truth? The Blackout team must uncover dark secrets hiding beneath seemingly still waters. But those very secrets might just tear the team apart.

My Review:

This story is quite suspenseful and my thoughts about the identity of the “bad guy” kept changing chapter-by-chapter.  I liked the characters in this book.  Although Elise had plenty of reason to be terrified, she kept her cool and bravely pushed on to try to help the Blackout team find the traitor. This story also focused on Colton, the leader of the team and his determination to keep Elise safe.  An attraction develops between the two, but past history makes them reluctant to pursue a romance.  The ending to this story is everything that you look for in a suspense story, and I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat for the last few pages.  This first book in the series caught my attention, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing what happens next for the Blackout team.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
