Sarah Denning is a military journalist with the Army in the Middle East when her convoy is attacked and she's taken hostage. When former Army Ranger Gavin Black is asked by his old unit commander--Sarah's imposing father--to plan an extremely risky rescue, he reluctantly agrees and successfully executes it.
Back in the US, Sarah is livid when she's discharged on a false psychiatric evaluation and vows to return to the Army. Until she learns of her brother's suicide. Unable to believe her brother would do such a thing, she puts her plans on hold and enlists Gavin to help her discover the truth. What they uncover may be the biggest story of Sarah's career--if she can survive long enough to write it.
Non-stop tension and action fill the pages of Acceptable Risk, another fast-paced story by Lynette Eason. From the first pages, Sarah shows her tender heart by her actions when her life and the lives of her students are threatened. But her that tenderness vanishes whenever her father, the General, is mentioned.
The relationship between Sarah and Gavin grows as they work together to solve a thoroughly tangled mystery that could end their lives at any time. Who is after them? Is Sarah the target, or Gavin? Questions kept the pages turning and my blood pressure high right to the satisfying end.
However, even in times of great danger, faith barely entered the scene. This disappointed me and brought the rating from five stars to four. Acceptable Risk is a thriller sure to entertain lovers of this genre. I received a copy of Acceptable Risk from the publisher.
