Life Flight is book 1 in the Extreme Measures series by Lynette Eason. So far there are only two books in the series, but hopefully, there will be more to follow.

EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is one of the best. She works well under stress, which is necessary when she is forced to land on a small flat spot on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient. Hiking off the mountain to find a landline to make a call is dangerous, and she finds out there is an escaped serial killer on the loose. Penny is a professional and gets the help she needs, eventually, but in the meantime, she works with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield to keep alive. It seems like everyone is out of the woods, until they realize that the man they killed was not the man they were after, and Penny is in danger. Together Holt and Penny work together to catch the killer and keep each other safe.

Life Flight is the first book in the Extreme Measures series, and it starts with a bang. You are pulled right into the story from the first page and it doesn't let up. I enjoyed seeing EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton's and FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield's interactions. He thinks he is protecting her, but Penny is a tough cookie, and more often, she was saving Holt. I liked their relationship as it was professional and respectful, eventually becoming more personal. The secondary characters all play important roles in the story and I loved the generosity of those living near the mountain. Of course the one character we were meant to dislike, was well-written and it worked. With tense, nail biting moments, health situations, twists, unexpected turns and some romantic suspense, I finished this book in one sitting. If you enjoy clean, suspenseful stories, I recommend Life Flight. I am looking forward to what is next in the Extreme Measures series.

I've read many books by Lynette Eason and have enjoyed them all. This one was no different. Her books are faced pace and easy to read. Great characters that are easy to root for. I highly recommend this book.

This was a race to the finish. A serial killer escapes from a local hospital from a minor surgery and in the process sets his focus on Penny Carlton an EMS helicopter pilot. FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield is the agent who originally arrested the serial killer and he's after him again. I thought Lynette Eason did a wonderful job of portraying the mind of a serial killer and his actions. This is a definite page turner, full of action and suspense with the romantic side story of Penny and Holt. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

This book really delivered on the romantic suspense! I really enjoyed the building up of the danger and the slow build of a relationship.
Penny is independent and strong. As a search and rescue pilot she's used to handling things on her own, but when her latest rescue has her crossing paths with a dangerous criminal she finds herself building a relationship with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield.
If you're looking for a book that is fast paced suspense with a clean romance, I definitely recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read that captured my interest from the first chapter. I found myself eager to continue reading whenever I had a free moment. Not surprising as I don't think there is anything from Lynette Eason that I haven't enjoyed. If you enjoy the romantic suspense christian fiction, then I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to the publishers for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I had a hard time getting into this, it felt really slow the first half. The second half was better and held my attention a little better, but it still felt predictable.

I received a complementary copy from NetGalley, all opinions are my own.

Holt and Penny's story is another fast-paced romantic suspense by Lynette Eason. I recommend this book--while romantic suspense does always take artistic license with "real life" law enforcement, Eason can sell it to the reader in a believable way. Penny is a strong heroine and Holt's a protective hero. They balance each other well, which makes for a believable romance. The plot has just enough surprises, twists, and turns to keep readers turning the pages.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this novel for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Magnificently wonderful book full of intrigue, thrills, and chills. Superbly written with amazing characters that draw you right into the book. I cannot wait for the next book in the Extreme Measures series. This is a definite must read if you enough mystery/suspense and happily ever after.

I received an ebook ARC from Netgalley and this is my voluntary, honest review.

Life Flight
by Lynette Eason
Book 1 in the Extreme Measures series
Rating: 4.5/5

I really enjoyed this heart racing, adrenaline-filled, Christian romantic suspense thriller full of mystery and real danger. The story starts off with a bang and draws you in with each chapter. The story is a bit confusing at first since the author dives right into the scene but she eventually helps clarify who is who and what's happening. The mystery surrounding all that is happening is sometimes unbelievable but explained in the end. I always enjoy a mystery that I can keep guessing at.

The romance between the two leads is relatable but not as focused on. They have their own hangups and flaws which make them more authentic and make the reader want to root for them.

The author is also able to weave her faith into the story in a way that is genuine and natural.

Highly recommend if you enjoy Christian romantic thrillers that will keep you guessing till the end!

My thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No positive review was expected and no compensation received.

A life flight downed on a mountain due to a severe storm, a patient in critical condition, and a murderer escaped all on the same mountain, and this all happens in the first chapter. 

Lynette Eason is at it again with another nail-biting adventure. Following EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton and FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield as they work together to catch a serial killer kept me guessing until the very end. Every character is well developed, and you feel like they’re your best friends as you read. The ending really got me, and I can’t wait until the next book in the Extreme Measures series.

What an action packed ride that was! I loved it!
Penny was an excellent protagonist. Holt was a solid guy. I liked the different characters and their various roles in this plot. Definitely going to continue in this series!

I am reviewing a copy of Life Flight through Revell and Netgalley:



If you’re looking for a novel full of mystery, an edge of your seat suspense, I highly recommend Life-Flight:




Penny Carlton is an EMS helicopter pilot who is used to high risk situations but being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient and a serial killer on the loose tests her skills and her nerve to the limit. She survives with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield's help. But she's not out of the woods yet.




In the days that follow, Penny finds herself under attack. And when news reaches Holt that he may not have gotten his man after all, it will take all he and Penny have to catch a killer--before he catches one of them.




I give Life Flight five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!

Lynette Eason's new series Extreme Measures is a keep you on the edge of your seat medical thriller! From the storyline to the characters to the setting, Life Flight will not be a book you set down until it is finished. The two main characters are Penny, a female medical helicopter pilot, and Holt, a male FBI agent. With a serial killer on the loose and lives on the line, working together is their only option. It is definitely a book that keeps you on the toes with each chapter and does not let down in the suspense and thriller department. The romance is a slow burn and faith is definitely represented throughout.

I really enjoyed the female characters and their unique careers. They were strong but also counted on each other. This new series hit it out of the park with the first book and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. It is definitely a book I will recommend to other Christian fiction book lovers!

If you are a fan of suspenseful, not gory, Christian fiction, then strap on your seat belt for a wild ride!

I loved this book! It immediately sucks you in and keeps you holding on for the ride. The suspense, the romance, the tension - it was so good!!

“Today was not going to be the day they died—not if she had anything to say about it.”

OUTSTANDING!

If you’re looking for thrilling romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the book for you. I was hooked from the very first page and the journey to catch a serial killer was spine-tingling! This is romantic suspense at its best and constantly kept me guessing what would happen next. Intense with a glimpse into the mind of a serial killer, this is not a light read but it was thoroughly engaging and kept me up late into the night. It has a bit of Eason’s “Women of Justice” series feel, which I absolutely loved. Penny and her best friends have me excited to read more from this new series.

Holt and Penny were an amazing team. I really appreciated how much he respected her and she him. The romance was set at a good pace. It also showed some of the trust issues they both had to work through, while outrunning a madman. This was an absolutely riveting story. I cannot wait for the next book.
