Watched from a Distance

Fantastic book that was a great mix of action, suspense, and steam along with a storyline that will keep you on the edge right till the end. I don't want to give away too much of the story so I'll just say your heart breaks for all Dane has given up but when he gets a chance at redemption and a shot at a new life with Lena you want him to go for it. The writing is fantastic and these characters feel like friends. Definitely a book I recommend.

Watched from a Distance by Allison B. Hanson Love Under Fire #3 What would you do to save the life of your child? Would you lie? Would you cheat? Would you seduce? Dane Ryan, a deputy marshal in task force phoenix, is faced with that question when faced with his son tied to a chair and told by ruthless Viktor Kulakov to bring in a man for killing. Little does he know at first that the person who lured him in is in the same boat he is and has already made a deal with the devil for her own child’s safety. Laura Scott has remained strong as she follows orders from Viktor but her strength is beginning to fray as are her nerves when Dane shows up on the scene. She wonders if she should continue to do as Viktor says or align herself with Dane and his team to try to get her daughter back. And, if she decides incorrectly she might never see her daughter again. This seems to be the final book in the series but I hope it will not be the last romantic suspense this author writes. I have enjoyed every one of the three books in this series and had hoped there would be more but it seems this is the end of the road since most of the men on the team have found their partners and want to start families. I am curious about what the men will do if they retire since that was not mentioned but other than that all the loose ends are tied up and it is nice to know the men are settling into their happily ever afters. 4-5 Stars

LOVED this book!!!! Dane is a member of Task Force Phoenix who "died" in order to protect his family. He has found it tough to be away from his young son, so has found a way to keep an eye on him. Unfortunately, this was noticed a the wrong man. Lena is a woman who's daughter was kidnapped and is being held to coerce her to do the criminal's bidding. When that criminal brings them together, things get a bit more complicated. This novel is fast paced action with a bit of romance that fans of the genre will love. I kept turning pages just as quickly as possible as I couldn't wait to see what happened next. This one is a must read for fans of the genre and should be at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.
