Kenzie has joined SWAT as a Medic but not everyone is happy about that. When someone targets and tries to kill her Cole steps in to watch over her. There was also another story set in the past that had links to the present. I enjoyed this second book in the Lake City Hero’s series. And look for to the next one.

Once again Lynette Eason gave me a story that kept me page turning for answers. Christian Suspense at its finest!

This time, and yes it is the second book in this series, but can be read alone, we are given a woman Kenzie King, very bright young woman, whom is a on a SWAT team, but also a doctor.

We are given a bit of sweet romance, but that is not the main focus of this story, but Cole, her boss, is sure there for her during the many attempts on her life.

My focus was on one, and then another as the culprit, it took me to almost the end to discover the real perpetrator, and wow do the secrets fall. There is a side story here, and that was a riveting as the main read, and could have been a book by itself!

Now I'm looking forward to the next book in this series!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.

Target Acquired by Lynette Eason is a fantastic romantic. Eason at her best. I throughly enjoyed the fast paced plot and the well developed characters. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

I’ve been reading books by Lynette Eason for many years and have learned not to start one of her books, if you need to get a good sleep. Nearly impossible to put down.
Kenzie King. MD is chosen to fill a position on the SWAT team as a tactical medic. Most of the all-male SWAT team welcomes her, however, there is one disgruntled member believing his friend should have been given the job. He is very verbal about his dislike of Kenzie. Although the rest of the team is supportive of her, Kenzie is suddenly a target, having her house broken into, shot at, sliced with a knife, hit on the head as well as other attempts on her life.
Cole, the supervisor of the SWAT team, attempts to protect Kenzie, however, it takes more than just him to keep her safe. There is also a growing, unspoken attraction between the two that both ignore. The team bans together to protect Kenzie, and to catch the perpetrator, however, several of them get in the crosshairs and end up with a gunshot wound themselves.
There are several chapters that take the reader back to the 1940s when mental hospitals were overcrowded and experimental treatment was being used unnecessarily on healthy patients, who also often found themselves behind a locked door. Through an old diary of her grandmother’s, Kenzie discovers some secrets that have been safely kept for many years concerning her family as well as Cole’s.
This is a compelling, fascinating story, with likable, relatable characters, that kept me reading until the last page was turned.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and comments are my own.

This was Book 2 of the Lake City Heroes series. I’ve been waiting since Book 1 for Cole and Kenzie’s story. Someone is trying to kill Kenzie and Cole is there to help her figure out who.

Well done, Lynette.

This is another great story from this author. The characters are relatable and the action is easy to track. I like how this author writes reality. She doesn't over exaggerate scenes to where they become unbelievable. The only problem I had with the book was the number of characters. She does provide a list of characters at the beginning, which was helpful. Perhaps if I was able to sit down and read it straight through, it would not have been so confusing for me. It's still another great book.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARK for an honest review.

I loved this book, the characters Kenzie and Cole ( quite the characters) and the plot with the old and new. I'm glad foe a guide as to who the characters were to !keep up the story which I enjoyed .did not see the ending coming though. Good intrigue. Highly recommended.definitely a must read.

Target Acquired, book 2 in the Lake City Heroes series, drew me straight in from the start. Kenzie has to deal with the reality of being a female medic on a SWAT team and tries to prove she deserved the position, but not everyone is thrilled that she's part of the team. Someone is trying to kill Kenzie, but who and why?
I enjoyed the chemistry between Cole and Kenzie and the cold case they are looking into while finding out the villain is. This novel alternates between the past and present, and what happened in the past has ties to the present. Eason crafted a wonderful novel with suspense, romance, tension, and danger. This novel will leave you guessing who the villian is.

LOVED this book! Lynette Eason is always one of my favorites for suspense, but this one had me hanging on to the end. Kenzie and Cole have a shared history but things heat up between the two of them as they work to figure out who is killing members of their team one by one. Is Kenzie the main target or all of them? Highly recommended.
This book was provided to me for review purposes by Revell. All opinions are my own.

Kenzie has fulfilled her dream of joining the S.W.A.T. team as a medic, but some of the team is not so sure having a woman teammate is a good idea. Soon it appears that someone is trying to kill her. Will prayers and teamwork get her through?

Someone is trying to kill Kenzie. She is on the SWAT team but not everyone thinks she deserves to be there. Could it be someone on the squad trying to eliminate her? The book goes between the past and the present and the connections to the characters history. The book is full of suspense, betrayal and romance. Altho the book is part of a series it could easily be read as a stand alone. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I was really looking forward to reading Target Acquired. I’m always up for a good romantic suspense and Lynette Eason is an author I always read.

Unfortunately, I ended up struggling with several aspects of this story. I liked both Kenzie and Cole well enough, but I didn’t feel like there was enough chemistry between them, so I had trouble rooting for their romance. There is a historical thread within this story, but instead of adding to the story, I felt like it took me out of it. I thought it could have easily been summed up at the end instead of switching back and forth throughout the book. I also really struggled at end when we learn who the villain is. Both the who and why just didn’t work for me. I did feel like the action was nicely paced.

I really wanted to love this story, but sadly, it just wasn’t the book for me. I am sure many others will love it though. Target Acquired by Lynette Eason is book two of the Lake City Heroes series, but both stories can easily be read as standalones.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. This is a clean read.

I really enjoyed this book. With an added historical story plot as well as a modern day plot, I rate this a book a hit. Both stories were focused on mystery and romance between the main characters. The second in the "Lake City Heroes", could stand alone but does feature characters from the first book so I do recommend you read it.

I liked the strong heroines in both timelines. They showed courage and spoke their minds when needed. I am looking forward to the next book in the series as I like how the series takes side characters, giving them their own stories.

Target Acquired by Lynette Eason is a non-stop action thrill ride. I love how she put Kenzie and Cole in the line of fire roughly every 30 pages. As for the setting, I love the idea of a mental hospital and the idea of what went on in these places long time ago does add some suspense and intrigue to the plot element. Readers will understand why Eason put the flashback to these moments in the story, but I really wanted more. It was pretty vague. Then she tied these past moments to the present with word of mouth or a journal. I was intrigued, so I wanted more of this storyline. On the other hand, there is a little bit of romance between the two main characters. It really does not take over the plot line until the end. Just the way I like it. Even though this story is marketed toward the Christian readers who enjoy a clean romance with action, there really is nothing that spiritual about the plot that non-Christian could not enjoy. The discovery for the villain was a little twisty as Eason kept moving the focus around from what the characters wanted you to think was the bad guy to who the bad guy was when revealed. I didn’t figure it out, which is a nice change. Overall, Target Acquired by Lynette Eason captured my attention, and enjoyed flipping through the pages of this story.

The second book in Lynette Eason’s Lake City Heroes series, Target Acquired, had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved Kenzie and Cole, the underlying romance and history between their families. The tensions were real as Kenzie dealt with the reality of being a woman on a SWAT team, trying to prove she deserved the position. Add in a mystery where someone is trying to kill Kenzie, and it was hard for me to put the book down. I also loved going back in time with a story within the story. An excellent book I highly recommend. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Target Acquired, the second book in Lynette Eason’s Heroes of Lake City series was hard to put down! I loved the characters Kenzie and Cole, watching their interactions with each other and others ion the team, realizing their mutual attraction, and how they worked together to find answers. And there were plenty of questions to answer, starting with who is trying to kill Kenzie and why! There’s a “story within the story” from 80 years prior, adding mystery to the present day activities, and another level,of complexity to the story. I’m loving this series and will now anxiously await book 3!
