Summer Reads: Chasing Secrets by Lynette Eason

Revell; 336 pages; $14.99; Amazon

Now available from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, is the suspense thriller Chasing Secrets, book four in the Elite Guardians series, by Lynette Eason.

Chasing Secrets centers on Haley Callaghan, a young woman who works as a bodyguard for the Elite Guardians agency. Her deadly past catches up with her when a photo leads investigators in West Ireland to open up a twenty-five-year-old cold case, which could be possible be connected to Haley's family.

As Haley investigates her own past with the help from her co-workers, her life is put in danger. This is when she turns to Detective Steven Rothwell, who is determined to help her unravel the mystery.

Final Thoughts: It seems like "female bodyguards" plots are a popular thing in romances, as there are several different series in bookstores (mostly the Harlequin ones), but the Elite Guardians is one only Christian bodyguard series that I have ever read. Author Lynette Eason wastes no time introducing the characters and setting up the main plot, which unfortunately is less thrilling than what I thought it would be. Sure, there are plenty of twists and turns to go around, but it felt more like a bad made-for-Lifetime movie of the week.

Overall, I was neither impressed or unimpressed by the novel. It was just an okay read for me.
