Impending Strike by Lynette EasonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Fans of Lynette Eason's Elite Guardian series will know Charlie and Lizzie as two supporting characters with a lot of mystery and banter between them that pointed to something more but was never seen. Now, finally, we get to see Charlie and Lizzie as the focus in their own story and we are not disappointed.
There is danger, suspense, tangible chemistry between the partners, but also so much more. Lizzie is a strong and independent single parent, with so much loss in her past, who had to learn to trust in happy endings again and that God has more planned for her. Charlie, oh, such a rough and strong guy, but readers got a glimpse of the true Charlie hidden within during his amnesia.
The author did a great job with the voice of all the beloved characters Lynette Eason created, making me feel I am right back at EG. I was also surprised with a lot of twists and events which made me fear for the characters.
Fans of romantic suspense and Lynette Eason will not be disappointed with this story.

About the book:
Protecting him just might cost her everything…
Elite Guardian Charlie Lee knows that there is no future with the woman he loves—fellow Guardian Lizzie Tremaine. And, he gets it—as a single mom, Lizzie has to protect her daughter. But more than anything, he wants the chance to prove himself.
Then, the unthinkable happens—while working undercover, Charlie is seriously injured…and his memory of the past four years is lost. Could it be the fresh start that he didn’t realize he longed for?
Despite a friendship that's turned flirtatious at times, Lizzie Tremaine has held Charlie at arms' length. She’s lost all the men she’s ever loved, and is unwilling to risk her heart again. Still, she’s glad to keep an eye on him—as his bodyguard—and while she’s at it, help him put the pieces of his past together, including discovering who attacked him, and why.
But Charlie seems to have forgotten their agreed-upon professional distance—and suddenly, all the rules are off the table. She’s seeing a side of Charlie she could possibly let into her heart. Problem is, the closer he gets to uncovering his memories, the closer he gets to trouble.
It’s her heart…or his life. What will protecting Charlie cost her?
Another edge-of-your-seat Elite Guardians thriller!

About the author:
Sami Abrams grew up hating to read. It wasn't until her 30's that she found authors that captured her
attention. Now, most evenings you can find her engrossed in a Romantic Suspense. In her opinion, a crime and a little romance is the recipe for a great story.
Sami has finaled 15 times in writing contests, including receiving first place in American Christian Fiction Writer's Genesis Contest in 2019 and 2020, and Faith Hope and Love's Touched By Love Awards in 2018.
She lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.
Sami's debut novel, Buried Cold Case Secrets, releases December 28, 2021. Also, be on the lookout for her Elite Guardians Collection Book #2 that will release in 2022

Sounds amazing. I like when a character has memory loss, it's an interesting premise.
ReplyDeleteYes it is :-)
