Book Review: Cyclone by Janie Crouch

Linear Tactical Book 1

Zac Mackay. Military codename: Cyclone. He's the town's returned hero. A man forged in battle. And the person who could destroy Annie's life.

Doctor Anne Griffin is back in Oak Creek, Wyoming, only because she has no other options. Here, she was always the shy, stuttering girl, invisible to everyone.

Except Zac. The very reason she left in the first place.

Zac's years in Special Forces taught him survival skills, and he's created a company--Linear Tactical--to teach those skills to others, so they never have to live in fear.

Then why is Annie, the last person he'd ever want to hurt, afraid of him?

Zac's determined to wipe the fear from the eyes of the woman who has never been far from his mind. And fix the mistakes--his mistakes--that put that look there in the first place.

But a predator has set his sights on Annie. And now survival skills will become much more than lessons...

*** CYCLONE is a stand-alone steamy romantic suspense, set in the LINEAR TACTICAL series.

The Linear Tactical book are stand-alone and can be read in any order, but this is the order in which they were published: Cyclone Eagle Shamrock Angel Ghost Shadow  Echo

My Review:

I don’t care that I’ve only just finished the first book, I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of this series. This book combines small town with romantic suspense, and it makes me so happy to have both these themes in a single book. I adore second chance romances and I especially love when an author gives me something a little different than the usual. This was a second chance at a love that really didn’t happen the first time around. The connection between Zac and Anne is so powerful. It doesn’t matter what emotion they’re expressing: hate, love, or everything in between, it sends off sparks. I thought I had this mystery SOLVED almost from the beginning and was getting so frustrated that the authorities couldn’t figure it out. Boy did I feel foolish when I found out who the real villain was. That’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming. I love the camaraderie and brotherhood between the staff of Linear Tactical. Their witty repartee had me giggling uncontrollably on more than one occasion. Now, I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.
