Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason is a fast-paced romantic suspense that is heavy on the action. It is the second in a series of books, but it is easily a stand-alone novel, and readers should have no problem reading it without any knowledge of the first book. Main character Sarah is well-written, and her drive is understandable. The tension between her and her father seemed very realistic. This book is published by a Christian publisher, so the romance and language are very clean, but it doesn't really focus on religion so much as themes of forgiveness, so I think non-Christians could easily enjoy this book as well as Christian audiences. This story line centers on issues of PTSD, suicide, and ethics, and it does a good job of giving a portrait of some of the challenges our military personnel face. Overall, this book keeps the reader interested and invested in the story line. Once again, Eason portrays multi-dimensional characters in military and post-military situations in a realistic and respectful manner. I recommend this book for those who enjoy action and suspense with a light sprinkle of romance added in.
I received this book from the publisher, Revell, for the purpose of writing a review, but all opinions are my own.
