My Review
Under Fire, by Lynn H Blackburn, is the third book in the Defend and Protect series. While this is part of a series that takes over when the previous left off with some of the same characters, this is also a great stand alone story. In this story we get to see how Tessa moves forward after her struggle with alcoholism and we get to meet Zane after accepting the job of protecting the President of the United States. When the President is schedules to go to Raliegh to visit old friends and help with a fundraiser, Zane is sent ahead of him and Tessa is in charge of making sure everything is ready and safe for the visit.
This is a fast-paced story that gripped me from the very beginning and help it to the very end. The story has several twists and turns and threats against Tessa and the President at the same time. This is a very enjoyable story to read. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery in the story. This has been an extremely fun series to read with how close the members of the Raleigh Secret Service and other agencies. I enjoyed how they look out for each other, how they support each other and how they look to God for guidance and protection.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this book, this is my honest review.
