Book Beginnings and Friday56
Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by My Head is Full of Books and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two. First Line Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Reading is my Superpower that asks you to share the first sentence of the book you're reading.
Loving this book - it is different to the author's previous books with the glimpses to the past.
Target Acquired
About the book:
Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts her. Rumor is, she didn't get the position because of what she could do but because of who she knew. Which means she has to work harder and longer than anyone else to prove herself. Cole Garrison is a man with deep faith who is finally ready to settle down and build a family of his own--if he can find the right person, that is. Kenzie sure has set off his interest meter, but trouble seems to follow in her wake. Since she joined the team, someone has begun to ambush and pick off team members, one by one. It's all hands on deck to discover the culprit and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a sniper's bullet? As you've come to expect from bestselling author Lynette Eason's stories, this tightly wound plot unfurls at breakneck speed and will leave you breathless.

My thoughts so far
This one is a bit different with the glimpses to the past, but just as nail-biting as expected from the author.

Agnes fought the urge to lie, but many people knew the truth.

It's nice to see that there are action/adventure books with female main characters!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these sound so different from each other yet I'm glad you're enjoying both! Happy reading :) Target Acquired kind of seems like it would make a fun movie.

They both sound like exciting books. The cover of A Life Once Dreamed seems at odds with the blub, but that adds to the intrigue!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

I hope you have a great weekend. 🙂❤️📚
I think that strong women are usually great characters. I hope she also embraces her feelings, though.
