Publisher Description
Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army Criminal Investigation Division due to wounds sustained when an IED blew up near him. Now with the Lake City Police Department, he's rooming with this good buddy and partner, Cole, while he figures out his family dynamics.
Physician Assistant Lainie Jackson is eighteen months out from an attempted murder perpetrated by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the weapon and shoot him. When he appears to have survived and is back to finish the job he started, Lainie insists it's not possible. But someone keeps trying to kill her, and she keeps seeing his face.
Together, Lainie and James must work together to find out who, exactly, is after her and why he wants her dead. And failure is not an option.
USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason will leave you breathless with this fast-paced first book in a brand-new series.
Customer Reviews
Great mystery, instant reread!
I finished this book in one day, and have absolutely no regrets. Ah, there’s so much about it that’s so good! The suspense, the romance, the protective MMC and tenacious FMC—I’m tempted to go re-read it right now!
Lainie captured my heart from the first page, her determination to not only survive, but thrive, in the face of so much adversity. Her struggles are ones that hit close to my heart, and her growth and development are inspiring and challenging to me. I can’t wait to see her in future books in the series!
James is so protective, in a non-smothering way, and does such a good job of caring for Lainie I can’t help but swoon. He faces his problems head-on, and is willing to take his own advice when it comes to family issues. The way he builds up those around him, thanking them for what they do, takes him from book-boyfriend material to goals for real life.
Double Take has become an instant favorite for me of Eason’s, and will definitely be one of those books I re-read multiple times.
I received an ARC from the publisher. A positive review was not required, all opinions expressed are my own.
