Description

FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator who has never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her much younger sister, Dottie, who showed up unannounced to live with Julianna while she finished her senior year of high school.

A former sniper with the 75th Ranger Regiment, Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Now he's working as a high school resource officer until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life.

Their paths cross when Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister. Impressed and a bit intimidated by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes, Clay invites her to speak at his school. Dottie's school.

But as the anniversary of a school shooting from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line.

This intense story of revenge and redemption from bestselling author and master of suspense Lynette Eason will have you up all night as you race toward the explosive finish.

Crossfire is another great addition to this series by Lynette Eason — one of my favorite Christian Suspense authors.
Julianna and Clay come together when his sister is taken hostage and Julianna is called to negotiate for the FBI. After the incident Julianna has a target on her back but who is stalking her? And why?
She and Clay work together to find answers while they both have things in their past that hinder their future. As the danger ramps up, will they be able to find forgiveness and stay alive in the meantime?
I love the building relationship between Julianna and Clay—the pull of attraction, the doubts, the hopes—as they learn to trust God and each other.
A truly exceptional story.
I received a review copy courtesy of Revell through NetGalley and Interviews & Reviews. This is my honest opinion of the book.

If you stick to the plan, everything will work out like it’s supposed to.

Unfortunately life is not like that, a lesson that is difficult for all to learn, especially the one or ones that have planned all the nefarious actions they could think of - all in the effort to exact revenge on FBI Special Agent Julianna Jameson. As a negotiator, she has worked with many criminals who want nothing more than to have their point taken seriously. Others will not be deterred regardless of the skill of the negotiation. But will she have the right words when the life of someone she loves is on the line?

God is bigger than the events of that day and Julianna realizes that she is not honoring Him by allowing it to still have so much impact on her. Can she really put that in the past where it belongs and forgive herself, gaining redemption over those feelings of guilt? The action continues and you think you have it figured out, only to have another plot twist thrown in. A story you will long remember!
