I am a longtime fan of Lynette Eason. Her stories keep getting better and better. Active Defense is the third in the series Danger Never Sleeps. I am so glad there will be a fourth book.
This was thrilling, non-stop action and had twists and turns that I was not expecting. Good writing keeps you on your toes and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I could not believe who the bad guy was!

Such a great continuance of the characters in this series. While all of these books have touched on PTSD in some areas, this one didn't seem to have quite as much as the others. But it still dealt with very real-life issues, such as child abuse and foster kids. Let's just say Ryker stole my heart.
I thought it got a little sappy toward the ending, but that's also me not-super-romantic speaking. The romance was overall well-paced though and Travis and Heather were sweet.

Active Defense is the third book in the Danger Never Sleeps series and I loved that this story had characters from earlier books as a part of the story. Which was very nice since their friendships started when they were stationed together and I liked their camaraderie. Heather had always been a good friend but she was also the one to never ask for help when she needed it. She had learned a long time ago that there was only one person she could rely on, herself, but in this story, she was going t

The title of this series is Danger Never Sleeps and it is certainly appropriate to this book. I was completely captivated during the reading.
Army field surgeon Heather Fontaine has come home from her deployment after a devastating event. Plagued by nightmares and near constant near nervousness, she never imagined that danger would follow her home in the form of a stalker. But someone is after her and may just be targeting her friends as well.

Then, the setting switches to South Carolina with Heather attending a welcoming party for a colleague who served with her in Kabul. She is exhausted from not sleeping well and still terribly traumatized ...more

First let me address the fact that this is the 3rd book in the series. I’ve read book one but I wasn’t able to read book 2 (doesn’t time fly?). So with that being said, I think this book stands well on its own and you won’t miss anything if you haven’t read the other two books first. Now on to the book…
The number one thing I loved about this book was the plot twist. I totally didn’t see it coming and I don’t even want to hint as to what it is. It blew me away. Now granted I was already engaged i ...more

But as things get progressively worse, Heather has no other alte

I can always count on Lynette Eason for a thrilling ride, "Active Defense" was no different and kept me guessing the whole time!
I wasn't sure how I would like the book since it says it deals with a stalker, but I found the twists and turns of the plot to keep the story from being creepy and balanced with a good bit of action.

Love that this series has a tie to soldiers serving in Afghanistan. In Active Defense, Heather Fontaine was a field surgeon and returns to South Carolina to work in a civilian hospital. Prior to leaving Afghanistan, she tried to save a suicide bomber which elicits strong emotions when a video is released. Now someone is trying to kill her. Who and why?

Another great nail biting romantic suspense by Lynette Eason. The book features Heather, a surgeon who is being stalked and doesn’t know by who or why. This series has been very enjoyable and quite the adrenaline ride. This one is my favorite so far. I look forward to the next book by this author.

" . . . I think I might have something of a stalker."
When former field surgeon Heather Fontaine realizes that someone is stalking her, she determines to take matters into her own hands; her independent nature preventing Heather from asking for help, even though her close circle of friends would risk their lives to protect her. When matters escalate, she goes on the run, only to realize that the person or persons intent on harming her have no intention of giving up. Who would have a moti ...more

Active Defense by Lynette Eason is full of the fast-paced suspense and action, along with a dash of romance, that the author is known for.

Active Defense by Lynette Eason proves once again that she is at the top of her game in Christian romantic suspense. Lethal is the third book in the series and the characters from the previous books are woven throughout.
Heather is a surgeon who has a stalker. I really liked her character. She was smart and prepared. She had issues from being an orphan that she had to work through.

If you're looking for a good bedtime read... well, this probably isn't going to be it. With nonstop excitement and suspense, this one had me on the edge of my seat staying up all night to see what was going to happen next... just as I have come to expect from Lynette Eason!

A fast paced, suspenseful thriller! This series just continues to get better with each book and the expectations raised even higher for the next one.
Heather’s character has always been intriguing and sort of mysterious making the reader wanting to learn her story. I was not disappointed as her story unfolded in the pages of this book.

A striking story from Lynette Eason! Active Defense has nonstop action and compelling characters that will keep readers intrigued. Suspense is not my usual genre, but I did enjoy this story and I was completely captivated by the last quarter of the book.

I have read many books by this author, and this one does not disappoint. It is the third book in the series with some recurring characters, but this can be read alone!
I can’t imagine coming home from a war zone, and then having a stalker, now Heather doesn’t even feel safe in her own country, never mind her home.
The character Heather is a strong woman who has pulled herself up from her bootstraps to become a surgeon, coming out of a rough background amid foster homes.

I like books that start with bangs. Explosions, that is. Lynette Eason does this in both the figurative and literal sense with the third book of her "Danger Never Sleeps" series.
The first descriptor that came to mind for Active Defense by Lynette Eason--dynamic. It is an action-packed story, one that will leave you feeling like you are on one of those dropping rides at an amusement park. You climb higher and higher into the sky, anticipation making your stomach churn. Because you kno ...more

I have enjoyed this series thus far. The first book is the best no doubt about it. I enjoyed book two and this one is my least favorite. I really struggled with Heather and Travis and getting into the story line. I like how it ties in with the other books but really you could read this book as a stand alone. I thought it was interesting how Lynette Eason writes how a stalker can effect someone. Some parts of the story line I didn't really understand and it seemed like a stretch with the conclusi

This was a great book! I lost over an hour of time, gripped in my reading while people left the room without me even noticing! Yes, I got this book in exchange for a free review, but I wouldn't make that up.
It's the third story in the 'Danger never sleeps' series. You can read it as a stand alone but you will get more layers and texture to the story if you know the backstories of the other characters involved. I've just seen that there's a fourth story and I can't wait.

Say hello to Dr Heather Fontaine and book three of the Danger Never Sleeps series. It's amazing and will keep you riveted.
I really enjoyed Heather's character because of the medical areas that come with it but even if you're not into that you're going to love this book.
Heather is being targetted. Someone is stalking her. She can see him but he never seems to try to reach out to her. She feels like she's going crazy but she doesn't know what's really going on.

I enjoyed this novel of suspense, the third in a series by Eason but one that reads well on its own. The strong aspect of this novel is the character study of Heather. She is a woman who served well as a surgeon in a dangerous overseas military assignment. She is quite independent, thinking she can take care of herself. Now back home, danger comes her way. She brushes off the help her friends offer her. She has to face her own limitations and decide to receive help from others. This is a spiritu
