Another wonderful book from Lynette Eason！！ ！ Lainie and James have known each other their whole lives but begin to see each other in a different light as the work together to find the person trying to kill Lainie。 It kept me guessing until the very end！！ As always， Lynette Eason creates characters that pull you into their lives quickly。。。 characters that are flawed and relatable。。。 and who love the Lord - and don't shy away from talking about Him。 I couldn't put this book down and read it in on Another wonderful book from Lynette Eason！！ ！ Lainie and James have known each other their whole lives but begin to see each other in a different light as the work together to find the person trying to kill Lainie。 It kept me guessing until the very end！！ As always， Lynette Eason creates characters that pull you into their lives quickly。。。 characters that are flawed and relatable。。。 and who love the Lord - and don't shy away from talking about Him。 I couldn't put this book down and read it in one day！！ 。。。more

Lynette Eason starts the New Year off with a bang in her new series！ Double Take is a fantastic romantic suspense read with all the right stuff！Lainie Jackson is still trying to deal with the fact that her fiancé tried to kill her and she ended up killing him in self-defense。 It’s been 18 months， and she wants to move on but when she thinks she sees him at the hospital where she works， all the bad memories come back。 When an attempt is made on her life， she can’t help but think maybe he is back Lynette Eason starts the New Year off with a bang in her new series！ Double Take is a fantastic romantic suspense read with all the right stuff！Lainie Jackson is still trying to deal with the fact that her fiancé tried to kill her and she ended up killing him in self-defense。 It’s been 18 months， and she wants to move on but when she thinks she sees him at the hospital where she works， all the bad memories come back。 When an attempt is made on her life， she can’t help but think maybe he is back for revenge。 She receives help from Detective James Cross， the brother of one of her longest friends。 James finds his work cut out for himself trying to keep Lainie safe and the more time they spend together the more attraction they find to each other and the more danger they encounter。I’ve read a lot of Romantic suspense and this one is by far at the top of the list。 The way Lynette Eason crafted this story had me hooked and wanting nothing more than to see these characters find a safe and happy ending。 The cat and mouse gam that Lainie was thrown into made the tension rise with each page turned。 This looks to be the start of an amazing series and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here。 A lot of authors I read have gotten into the habit of writing the same types of stories that just aren’t interesting after a while; Eason is above the rest and only gets better with each book she writes！I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher。 The views and opinions expressed within are my own。 。。。more

Oh this was good！ I loved these characters and their interactions and banter with each other。 The friends and family all were great additions to the story as well。 Can’t wait to see them all again in the next story！ Lainie’s blunt and bold personality was a refreshing change in a heroine。 I really loved that these were smart characters – they speak up when they see something suspicious or dangerous。 The mystery made this book so hard to put down， it was a fast paced page turner。 Highly recommend Oh this was good！ I loved these characters and their interactions and banter with each other。 The friends and family all were great additions to the story as well。 Can’t wait to see them all again in the next story！ Lainie’s blunt and bold personality was a refreshing change in a heroine。 I really loved that these were smart characters – they speak up when they see something suspicious or dangerous。 The mystery made this book so hard to put down， it was a fast paced page turner。 Highly recommend！ I got the book from Revell but no review needed。 This is my own opinion and I highly encourage you to read this。 。。。more

Omg！ This was such an amazing edge of your seat suspense！ I had a very hard time putting this book down and stayed up in the night to finish it！ It was so suspenseful！Lainie Jackson has been trying to move on after an attempt on her life by her ex， after she atttempted to break up with him。 She acted in self defense and managed to save her life by shooting him。 But a year and a half later someone is trying to finish up the job， and it seems to be him again。 But Lainie knows it’s not possible， be Omg！ This was such an amazing edge of your seat suspense！ I had a very hard time putting this book down and stayed up in the night to finish it！ It was so suspenseful！Lainie Jackson has been trying to move on after an attempt on her life by her ex， after she atttempted to break up with him。 She acted in self defense and managed to save her life by shooting him。 But a year and a half later someone is trying to finish up the job， and it seems to be him again。 But Lainie knows it’s not possible， because he’s dead， but then again， how can she keep on seeing him？ If it’s not him， then who and why？ Detective James Cross ends up in the hospital where Lainie， his sister’s bff works， after being shot while doing his duty。 When he learns of Lainie’s grave predicament， he’s determined to help her out and protect her。 But her aggressor seems to always anticipate her moves and his identity is confusing as well as mysterious。 Will he be able to protect her， and should he fight the growing feelings this new version of Lainie is provoking him， no longer seeing her as almost younger sister anymore？As I said， this is an edge of your seat suspense。 The book had me guessing the whole time about when the villain was going to show up again and trying to decipher if he was really Lainie’s ex and how could that be possible。 The plot has unique twists and turns that kept me glued to the page， the action and suspense non stop。 The characters felt so relatable。 They were flawed， not perfect， they had their own issues and mistakes， yet they fought to do what they thought was best to the eyes of God。 Lainie was admirable， she was strong and determined， yet still vulnerable and sensitive。 She thought of others well being before hers。 James was a wonderful hero: courageous and protective， yet he fought his own demons with PTSD -they both did- and tried to do what was right in spite of his father’s opposition of his career。 I loved the way he tried to make amends and mend his relationship with his father。 There were many things to learn about in this story， it’s not all about the suspense plot。 There are family relations to fix， trust in God to be conquered， and love to lead to forgiveness and healing。 A faith inspired and though provoking message throughout the story！ And a sweet and clean romance that was swooning too！All in all， a captivating story that you won’t be able to put down！ I highly recommend it！I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Publisher and was under no obligation to post a review。 This is my honest and unbiased opinion！ 。。。more

Great start to a new series！This one definitely has a psychological twist as main character Lainie sees signs that her deceased former fiance is still alive。 She questions her sanity and yet has to pursue leads to see what is really going on。Detective James Cross is a childhood friend of Lainie's and they partner together to solve the mystery。 Lots of twists as the tale unfolds。I look forward to the next in the series。My gratitude to publisher Revell for a complimentary copy of the novel。 I was Great start to a new series！This one definitely has a psychological twist as main character Lainie sees signs that her deceased former fiance is still alive。 She questions her sanity and yet has to pursue leads to see what is really going on。Detective James Cross is a childhood friend of Lainie's and they partner together to solve the mystery。 Lots of twists as the tale unfolds。I look forward to the next in the series。My gratitude to publisher Revell for a complimentary copy of the novel。 I was not required to post a review and all opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

WOW！ The first sentence of the Prologue reads， "The click next to her ear jerked her out of a deep sleep to roll into a sitting position， a scream on her lips， her eyes on the man with the gun standing next to her。" The suspense keeps on until the end， author Lynette Eason only giving the reader short pauses to catch a breath。 Those pauses develop the romance part of the story and are very well done。 Oh， and the mystery？ It had me questioning until the end。 James and Lainie are likeable and laye WOW！ The first sentence of the Prologue reads， "The click next to her ear jerked her out of a deep sleep to roll into a sitting position， a scream on her lips， her eyes on the man with the gun standing next to her。" The suspense keeps on until the end， author Lynette Eason only giving the reader short pauses to catch a breath。 Those pauses develop the romance part of the story and are very well done。 Oh， and the mystery？ It had me questioning until the end。 James and Lainie are likeable and layered characters of faith。 I was definitely rooting for an HEA for them。I would read more of this series， Lake City Heroes， and more of any other books by author Lynette Eason。 And I would feel very comfortable recommending Double Take to friends and family。 If you love clean romantic suspense and/or Christian romantic suspense， this will be a winner for you。I received a copy through NetGalley and am sharing my opinion of this exciting work of romantic suspense。 。。。more

This book was great！ It had a good storyline， the characters were solid， and there was action in every chapter。 There were a few thought provoking themes of forgiveness， how bitterness can rule your life， and ruin others。 I also appreciated how the two main characters came together。 Although you kind of assumed they would， it didn’t stop the author from actually taking the time to develop their relationship in a meaningful and positive way。 I loved Double Take and can’t wait to see what is next This book was great！ It had a good storyline， the characters were solid， and there was action in every chapter。 There were a few thought provoking themes of forgiveness， how bitterness can rule your life， and ruin others。 I also appreciated how the two main characters came together。 Although you kind of assumed they would， it didn’t stop the author from actually taking the time to develop their relationship in a meaningful and positive way。 I loved Double Take and can’t wait to see what is next in this series！ 。。。more

I don't read much suspense because they have the tendency to keep me from doing anything else， which I assume is the point。 However， I do love a good suspense on occasion and having never read Eason I was eager to give her a try with her new series。She had me hooked from probably page one and while I was thoroughly invested in the story， I was able to put it down long enough to get responsibilities done which I appreciated。 I enjoyed her easy-to-read writing style and found her characters intere I don't read much suspense because they have the tendency to keep me from doing anything else， which I assume is the point。 However， I do love a good suspense on occasion and having never read Eason I was eager to give her a try with her new series。She had me hooked from probably page one and while I was thoroughly invested in the story， I was able to put it down long enough to get responsibilities done which I appreciated。 I enjoyed her easy-to-read writing style and found her characters interesting and well rounded。I really liked Lainie。 She had problems， but she also didn't allow herself to mope in her problems or tough life。 I loved her strength and yet she was also willing to rely on and accept help from others， which made me love her more and， honestly， made her a stronger character overall。James Cross was also great。 He had an excellent balance of strength and weakness as well。 And was just a great manly kind of man。The romance in the story was super sweet， not taking away from the plot and story， but adding warmth to it。 I also was really glad to see that the characters did seem to have a sincere faith in God and while the Christian themes weren't necessarily a super big part of the story， they were definitely still coming through。Overall， a wonderful beginning to a new series and I look forward to investing myself in the rest of the series。 *I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author/publisher for promotional purposes。 I was not required to write a positive review。 These are my honest opinions。 。。。more

Double Take kept me up late。 I could not put this book down to save my life。 From the beginning I couldn’t wait to see how Lynette Eason would wrap everything up。 And she throws plenty of twists and turns your way to keep you guessing。I also loved seeing James and Lainie’s relationship develop。 It was a bit of a slow burn but totally worth it！ There’s also some great discussions about God and having a relationship with Him。The supporting characters are great too， and there’s a nice tease for the Double Take kept me up late。 I could not put this book down to save my life。 From the beginning I couldn’t wait to see how Lynette Eason would wrap everything up。 And she throws plenty of twists and turns your way to keep you guessing。I also loved seeing James and Lainie’s relationship develop。 It was a bit of a slow burn but totally worth it！ There’s also some great discussions about God and having a relationship with Him。The supporting characters are great too， and there’s a nice tease for the next book。 I cannot wait for it to release！Overall， Double Take is a gripping suspense with a sweet romance and plenty of action。（Note: I received a complimentary copy via NetGalley for review。 I was not required to post a positive review。 All opinions expressed are my own。） 。。。more
