Hours to Kill

Homeland Heroes #3 

By Susan Sleeman

Addy (Addison) Leigh has a lead that could be just what she needs to break the case that has stymied her. But just as she gets her big break she is involved in an accident that causes memory loss. With the lead that she thought so promising gone she needs the help of her estranged husband Mack Jordan and the federal team that she used to work with. Now she just needs to remember them...

When Mack gets to Addy's side he is more than a little dismayed that she has no recollection of him or their marriage. What's worse he knows that it is his fault that she is now in this position - having bailed on their marriage after a dangerous PTSD incident he had no other choice.  But his choice drove Addy from Washington, D.C. to Oregon and into the sights of the unknown assailant who wants her dead.

But Addy's investigation showed an imminent threat that needed to be stopped before there were thousands of casualties. But the deeper RED Team, Addy, and Mack dig for information the greater the danger and the evil that they face.  Their search for answers will lead them to the darkest regions of the net and it won't be pretty.

Hours to Kill is the third book in the Homeland Heroes series and it is as intense and thrilling as the first two books in the series (Seconds to Live and Minutes to Die). This time the story focuses on RED Team member Mack Jordan and his wife Addy Leigh and the backstory that was hinted at in the two previous books in the series. This book is perfect for a long weekend or an all-night reading event. The suspense keeps one turning the pages and what is thought to be known has a few twists thrown in to keep the reader guessing as to the final outcome.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations all thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

With time running out in their darkest hour…

Just as Homeland Security agent Addison Leigh reaches the pinnacle of her investigation into a cyber-enabled firearm’s smuggling ring she’s attacked and left for dead. In a coma in the hospital, her estranged husband, ICE agent Mack Jordan is notified. He may have let his past military trauma ruin their short marriage, but she never gave up on their relationship, and he remains her next of kin.

Will he find her attacker before it’s too late?

Mack rushes to her bedside where he promises to hunt down the man who attacked her. Mack failed her once when he bailed on their marriage, and he’s not about to let her down again. But when she wakes up in the hospital, she remembers neither the attack nor even being ever married to Mack. And when a second attempt is made on her life, it’s clear something very sinister is going on and Mack and Addison are in for the ride of their lives.
