Lethal Deception

This book was full of mystery and suspense. Cassidy Mcknight, the daughter of a wealthy ambassador, turned her life and heart over to God. She tries to a brave and unselfish act and finds herself in the hands of a killer. Gabe Sinclair, an old acquaintance and ex-Navy Seal, brings her home from an unexpected hostage situation. Only when they think she is safe, does the killer strike again. This book is full of suspense and twists and turns. I never knew what to expect! The secrets and mysteries surrounding the characters pasts keep you wondering what will happen next and if everything will turn out the way you want it to. Don't worry - you'll love the beginning, middle, and the end. A must read for all of you mystery readers out there!

I'm always interested in the family relations that tie into the story. Gabe knew the secret of her brothers death, but couldn't tell her. Cassidy didn't know if she could trust him if he wouldn't tell her how her brother died. Both are tied to honor and can't compromise their standards. I had to read page after page until I came to the end to find out if they could work things out to my satisfaction. They did.

This little book was packed with action, suspense and romance. The story centers around Gabe Sinclair a former SEAL who is now a Dr., and Cassidy McKnight a wealthy girl who has turned her life around. While in South America to retrieve a child she promised to act as guardian for she is kidnapped. Cassidy's dad sends Gabe to bring her back. Gabe really doesn't want to do it for three reasons...one, he remembers her as a spoiled rich girl, two, he knows what happened with Cassidy's brother Micah (also a SEAL) but can't tell her because it would put other SEAL teams in danger and three, he has always harbored feelings for her. He does agree to go however, and is successful in bringing them back to the states. But when attempts on her life continue, he enlists the help of a detective friend. Gabe has a need to protect her but will they find out who is behind the attempts before it's too late. This is a great book. Just when you think you have it figured out...another twist. It keeps you turning pages. Great job Lynette. Looking forward to the next installment in August 08, called River of Secrets.
