Review of Collateral Damage

 Brief Summary Courtesy 

Honorably discharged from the Army after an explosion nearly killed her, former military psychiatrist Brooke Adams has set up shop to help others—but her days of helping military personnel are over. She's got her own battles to fight from her time overseas, and she's not equipped to take on more. Former Army Special Ops Sergeant First Class Asher James could handle anything that war sent his way—terrorists, bombs, bullets. The only thing that scares him now is sleep. As the shadows close in, the nightmares begin.

Finally convinced that he needs help, Asher makes an appointment with a counselor, and Brooke is pressed by her boss to take him on. When he arrives at her office she isn't there—but a dead body is. Brooke is devastated when she walks in, and Asher is a conveniently strong shoulder to cry on. But she can't take him on as a client after sharing such an intimate and unprofessional moment, can she? And he's not sure he can handle sharing his deepest fears with such a beautiful woman.

When it becomes clear that Brooke was the real target of the attack—and that her secrets go even deeper than his own—Asher vows to protect her no matter what.

Review 

This is the first book in the Danger Never Sleeps Series and the first that I have read of Lynette Eason's. I really enjoyed the storyline in this book. It was a great mix of romance, suspense and thriller. The author had your attention from the very first page to the last one with the who dunnit. Trying to figure out who was the traitor? Who was the killer? 

In addition, Lynette did a great job of creating well developed main characters, Brooke Adams & Asher James as well as supporting characters. I found the characters to be very engaging and very realistic.

Lastly,  I thought she did a great job of touching on the topic of PTSD. You could tell that she did the proper research. 

I definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy mystery, suspense, thriller and christian romance.
