Well-written romantic suspense is sometimes hard to find. But when you do find a great author, trust me, I usually want to go back and binge-read everything!
This book that is publishing this week is one of those addicting reads. It is book 4 in a series, and while it would have been probably good to read them in order, I had no issues following the people. This author writes clean Christian romantic suspense. Read on for my full review.

OVERVIEW:
A stalker who wants to finish what he started. A US Marshal who’s vowed to protect his charge. And one woman who is determined to put the past in the past.
Flight paramedic Raina Price has been running so long it’s hard to stop. To escape a dangerous stalker, she changed her name and disappeared, building a new life with the help of a friend from her time in juvie. It feels good to put her energies into saving people’s lives, but because her stalker was never found, she’s never stopped looking over her shoulder. And one can only run so far before the past finally catches up.
US Marshal Vincent Corelli’s job is to hunt down fugitives and protect those who are assigned to him. When Raina is almost killed right in front of him, he vows to protect her at all costs–whether it’s his job or not. Together they work to solve the mystery of Raina’s past. But someone is out to make sure Raina doesn’t live long enough to do it.
Countdown is the breathless conclusion to USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason’s thrilling Extreme Measures series.
Countdown by Lynette Eason Review
I love finding an author that writes in such a manner that I want to keep reading and reading. From the first pages, I knew this one was going to be a great story!
The plot of this book is awesome! With a strong female lead, this story of stalking and protection is well balanced and Eason pours her soul into the action and multiple twists. While you may figure out who the bad guy is, I think it ramps up the pace and adds some heart-pounding to the book.
With a lovely building romance building right along with the suspense, Countdown is a well-balanced story that offers a sweet, supportive, and fierce love for Raina. I love his positivity and caring soul.
This is the first book I have read by Eason. I love her storytelling gift and will definitely check out more from her, including the other three books in this series! I love the strong women she features. Countdown offers great twists and plenty of action, along with a slow-burn love to keep those pages turning!
