Countdown ~ Review

Countdown

Extreme Measures #4

By Lynette Eason

Rania Price has been hiding - hiding from the past yet never free from it. It has destroyed her trust, keeping her from moving forward. But now, her past and her present are about to collide. What's worse is that her friends could now be in danger from the very man she left behind more than fourteen years ago. And to protect those she knew and those she knows, she'll do just about anything to keep them safe. 

Vincent Corelli is determined to keep Raina safe.  If he hopes to have a future with her, he'll have to use the resources he has at his disposal as a US Marshal to help her. 

Countdown is the fourth book in the Extreme Measures series and is set in North Carolina. And in this book, which can be read and enjoyed on its own, we finally get to know Raina. And her backstory is really something. It is also a cautionary tale in some ways. 

As with the previous books in the series "extreme" is a perfect description as Raina must not only face her past, but she must also share it with those around her. Admitting vulnerability and past mistakes, even if it is just in judgement, is never easy. The truth will set you free is about to be something Raina puts to the test as she and Vince race against time to find and stop whoever is after her. 

Love intense suspense and a touch of romance? This is one book you don't want to miss.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

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.
