Review: Active Defense

 Active Defense

"As a former field surgeon in Afghanistan, Heather Fontaine is used to life-or-death situations. She just didn't expect them to follow her home. When she returns from a party to find that someone has broken into her house--and threatened her friends--she assumes it is the stalker who has been following her and creeping her out. She hopes to find safety and peace of mind by leaving the city and hiding out in a small town. But trouble has followed her even there.

Luckily, a stalker isn't the only one watching Heather. Travis Walker has been secretly watching out for her for weeks. As owner of his own security agency, it's what he does. Together, Travis and Heather must figure out who wants her dead--and why--before it's too late."

WHAT A WHIRLWIND!!
I was enthralled from the first page, and I was a bit reluctant to set it down to eat dinner.
This was SUCH a fast paced story that had me spinning.

While Heather’s character was a little hard for me to completely connect with, she was written very well! She grew tremendously throughout the story. I did enjoy the fact that it wasn’t an instant change, she really had to work each moment to open up and let other people help her. I loved that she relied on God in every moment though!

Travis was great! In his own words he was easygoing, never lost his temper, and was an all-around perfect guy. 😉
But really his character was great for Heather and I loved their interactions.

Both characters were super honest with each other & communicated with each other and I LOVED it! (Y’all know how I feel about that)
I loved that they were friends first, but still had a hum of romantic chemistry before their whole world got turned upside down. It didn’t feel like they fell in love because of shared traumatic experiences - it felt like a real connections.

This was the first one I’ve read of the series, and it is the third one. While it can be read as a standalone (I didn’t feel all that lost) I definitely would recommend reading the books in order so you can really get to know the full cast of characters in their proper timelines.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns this book took me on! The writing, chemistry, romance, family, and bad guys were all great! I’m excited to back read the first two, and pick up book four!
4.5/5 stars
