Review: Driving Force

Driving Force Driving Force by Lynette Eason
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

For a debut author, the standard was very high.

When I first saw this season from Sunrise will take me back to Elite Guardians, I was super excited. But also, a bit nervous because Lynette Eason is a favourite author and I always have high expectations when I see her name. Kate Angelo did not disappoint.

Driving Force was a thrilling right from the first pages right till the end. The danger to the characters was around every corner, and the action fast paced and realistic.

Grey and Christina, both with their military back grounds, had great back stories, baggage to work through and I appreciated how Christina just lived her faith and through that guided Grey back to God. The star of the book was 100% Boss. I loved his scenes and how he interacted with all the other characters.

“God hears your prayers, Grey. Our world is broken and filled evil. It's our job as Christians to stand up and fight back the darkness. One way is through prayer.”

So, I did identify the bad guy from the start - not sure if that was intentional so that the readers know something the characters don't - but it did not dimmer my enjoyment of this book. I loved the snippets from the bad guy's POV.

Kate Angelo is an author to watch and if you loved Lynette Eason's Elite Guardian series, you would love this first book in the Elite Guardian Collection.

“God isn't some sort of genie, Grey. You can't expect Him to grant your every wish. Prayer is just one of the ways we can have a relationship with God. Just talk to Him.”

About the book:


He’s the last client she wants to protect…

Elite Guardians bodyguard/former sniper CHRISTINA SHERMAN has protected uncooperative clients before—but this time, well her client is bossy, headstrong and occasionally eats off the floor. Yes, he’s a highly trained military working dog, but certainly her skills could be put to better use, right?

Not according to former Special Forces Air Commando GREY PARKER. He needs her help to protect his dog while he undergoes an experimental surgery that could restore his ability to walk. He just needs someone to keep his canine partner safe. Most of all, Grey wants back on his feet so he can track down a deranged scientist known as The Scavenger who unleashed a nerve agent that left Grey sidelined in a wheelchair.

When an attempt is made on Grey’s life, and dead bodies begin piling up—with evidence the same toxin is responsible—suddenly Christina is tasked with keeping both dog and soldier alive…and with them, the secrets that could stop a terrorist attack.

But this time, even Christina might be in over her head.

Dive into the exciting ignition to the Elite Guardians Collection.
