Malicious Intent (Defend and Protect #2) by Lynn H. Blackburn

 

My only problem with Malicious Intent is that I have finished it. Lynn Blackburn first introduced most of these characters in Unknown Threat and I was delighted to read more about them in Malicious Intent. The banter is witty and the action exciting. I loved the suspense that kept me guessing until the end of the book. Ms. Blackburn did an excellent job of weaving faith into her characters' lives. It was inspiring the way they would stop and pray for guidance. I can't wait to read book three and find out what these folks are up to next!

I would suggest you brew a pitcher of sweet tea and block off a weekend for a fabulous read.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

Dr. Ivy Collins, founder and CEO of Hedera, Inc., is ready to begin clinical trials of her company's cutting-edge prosthetic. Her work has been heralded by government, medical, and advocacy groups and everyone hopes the device will be a success. Well, almost everyone. Someone is trying to sabotage Hedera and the launch, but to what purpose--and how far will they go to get what they want? 

Meanwhile, U.S. Secret Service Agent Gil Dixon can't believe he's finally been reunited with Ivy, his childhood best friend. Now that he's found her again, Gil intends to spend the rest of his life with her. But it will take all his skill to uncover the truth in time to save Ivy's life's work, her own life, and the innocent lives caught in the crossfire.

Perfectly balancing chilling suspense and uplifting romance, award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn delivers a story of revenge, greed, and overcoming that you won't want to put down no matter how late it gets.
