About the Book
Honorably discharged from the Army after an explosion nearly killed her, former military psychiatrist Brooke Adams has set up shop to help others--but her days of helping military personnel are over. She's got her own battles to fight from her time overseas, and she's not equipped to take on more. Former Army Special Ops Sergeant First Class Asher James could handle anything that war sent his way--terrorists, bombs, bullets. The only thing that scares him now is sleep. As the shadows close in, the nightmares begin.
Finally convinced that he needs help, Asher makes an appointment with a counselor, and Brooke is pressed by her boss to take him on. When he arrives at her office she isn't there--but a dead body is. Brooke is devastated when she walks in, and Asher is a conveniently strong shoulder to cry on. But she can't take him on as a client after sharing such an intimate and unprofessional moment, can she? And he's not sure he can handle sharing his deepest fears with such a beautiful woman.
When it becomes clear that Brooke was the real target of the attack--and that her secrets go even deeper than his own--Asher vows to protect her no matter what.

My Review
4 STARS!!!
Collateral Damage
is an intense start to Eason’s new Danger Never Sleeps series. Numerous twists
and turns kept me glued to the page. Brooke and Asher are strong characters
both reeling from trauma sustained in Afghanistan while
serving in the US Army.
I enjoyed getting to know
the backstory of each and watching how they navigated murky waters when dealing
with PTSD. I felt like I gained a bit of perspective and compassion for our current
and past military members.
Eason delves into a deep
and dark stratum of society that completely took me by surprise. I was saddened
and disturbed that some of the ‘enemies’ would be among those we normally think
of as heroes. That left me slightly disheartened (as it should) but I did find
the story mesmerizing.
I recommend this book to
fans of romantic suspense because watching Brooke and Asher’s relationship
develop was endearing, and Eason’s criminals are chilling.
I
received a copy of this book from the publisher. The opinions stated above are
entirely my own.
I like Lynette's writing, always fast paced but very human too.
