Sometimes the deepest scars are the ones that can't be seen.
Single mom Peyton Ward works three jobs to make ends meet. At Linear Tactical she’s surrounded by heroes on a regular basis…but none of them are hers. She thought she'd found one in Linear’s silent partner, and country music superstar, Cade Conner. She was wrong. Unintended wounds still cut as deep. Cade may not work day to day operations at Linear, but he takes the mission of the company he helped create—teaching survival intelligence and self-defense skills to the people who need them most—seriously. And finding out he’s wounded Peyton in the worst way possible weighs on him. So when danger on two separate fronts closes in on her, he will damn well be by her side. Making sure they survive so he can right his personal wrongs. He might not have been a Special Forces soldier, but Cade Conner knows how to fight. And Peyton is a woman worth fighting for. 
An ardent and adorable love story, with a touch a danger and violence that within an eyeblink sends chills down your spine... The story swept me away with the potent feels, it had me smiling and in tears, its focus is on the endearing second chance romance, that hit all the spots of young love between a rich boy and a poor, abused girl that ends with misunderstandings, a secret baby, and meddling family... After a detailed, long prologue by both of the main characters' points of view, the story starts to flow effortlessly and smoothly, telling the tale of heartbreak, healing, and redemption, mixed with danger, abuse, and betrayal.
The Linear Tactical series has deservedly gotten a lot of praise from me, the characters and the situations they end up in are engrossing, entertaining, and gripping. Peyton Ward's little daughter, Jess, and Finn's son Ethan has won over the hearts of all the readers of the series. Jess and Ethan have often been the little light, heartening touch of innocence to balance all the darkness Linear Tactical guys face in their jobs. I love that smart little genius and the relationship she has with her mother as well as with Ethan. I loved seeing Jess interact with Cade Conner, and I loved that the parents were able to be mature about things and not keep long, unnecessary secrets to create more drama. The relationship with Cade and Payton had honesty and realness in it, mix with the magic of falling in love. The connection between them was true and tight, able to withhold the test of time and circumstances. I believed in the connected, as I believed in them and cheered on to find the HEA they both so well deserved. Each of the Linear Tactical stories stands on their own, yet are connected as series, and as one of my favorites, I do recommend to read all of them, in order if possible, to get the most of the developing relationships and storylines. A fantastic addition to the series; to get the bright, light and love-filled future Payton and Jess have always deserved, they have to face deep, dark moments of utter fear, anxiety and threats, even deadly danger. ~ Four Spoons with a Teaspoon on the side

A killer stalks Eagle Mountain…
And a visiting lawman is determined to protect the next target… Emily Walker is back home for her brother’s wedding. The joyous occasion is marred by a blizzard, a murderer on the loose…and Brodie Langtry, the man who broke her heart. As he searches for the Ice Cold Killer, Brodie becomes convinced that Emily is his next target. How can he protect a woman who wants nothing to do with him—a woman he’s terrirfied to let out of his sight? 
The taunting and an arrogant serial killer that has played havoc in the small mountain town in the middle of a blizzard, wedding arrangements, and the road closes has to be stopped, no matter what. I read this last installment of the engaging series on one sitting. It is fast-paced, with fierce action and suspense, and a potent love story of second chances, the story moving on with vigorous scenes, making it unputdownable.
The things are finally moving in the right direction, catching the killer, and stopping him, is the main priority, so that life can continue and the town can heal from the tragic losses of several women in their community. The last person Emily Walker expected to run into during her hometown visit was Brodie Langtry, the man who broke her heart. Oh, the chemistry and tension between Emily and Brodie were sizzling, and the hurt from the past was tangible in the pages as I inhaled the words, hoping them to find harmony and peace again. The hunt for the killer comes up, close, and personal with Brodie and Emily, it puts everything and everyone in danger and stopping him without more casualties seems impossible. I have enjoyed this series from the start, the characters, the romance, the hunt for the killer, the setting, the danger from nature, all playing such an important and unique part of the outcome. I can highly recommend the series for a wintery binge-reading session, as the icy mix outside keeps piling on... Cindi Myers delivers with this series and knows how to mix the risk of the wilderness surrounding the events into the mix as a third major element of the appealing and charming yet death and danger filler tales! ~ Four Spoons with a Teaspoon on the side

The body count is mounting.
And a deputy is the killer’s next target. Capturing the Ice Cold Killer is the greatest challenge Eagle Mountain has ever seen. Thankfully, Deputy Jamie Douglas is determined to see justice done. Nate Hall is visiting for a wedding, and the vacationing lawman is more than willing to help. As a blizzard ravages the town, keeping everyone trapped with a killer, evidence begins to accumulate about a mysterious conspiracy. Can Jamie and Nate get to the truth before more innocent people wind up dead? 
Not only the case of the serial killer(s) getting edgier with each new victim, now they are targeting the people in the force and their families, and that puts the tale into another level of intensity.
Deputy Jamie Douglas has a lot on her plate. She's the guardian of her younger sister who has developmental issues, she is the female deputy of the police force, an avalanche has cut the roads off to the town, and her ex is visiting the town, stuck cause the snow... Jamie is a tough, capable, caring female lead, she is easy to like and admire. She is doing her best with the situation she is in, and even though her attention is required by many different matters, she is trying to keep a cool head. With the Ice Cold killer on loose, everyone with skills to investigate are welcomed to help. Nate Hall jumps into the case, and into protecting Jamie and her sister, who seems to be the next target. I liked how Nate and Jamie work the past hurt and present awkwardness, the feelings they have for each other, and the problems in their personal relations. Nothing comes easy to these two, yet Nate is determined to show Jamie that the seven years apart has changed his focus. He wants to protect her from the killer, yet to respect her as a deputy, he wants to be part of her life again, yet is willing to take the time it takes to win her heart and trust again. This book - and series - is turning out to be binge-worthy material, easy to immerse yourself into while the hunt for the killers continues. The romance stories capture your heart while the tense suspense, and a case that seems a bit overwhelming at times puts everyone in the small town of Denver on danger. Heartwarming romance mixed with intense suspense, a winning combo of entertainment for me! ~ Four Spoons
