Reviews for Holiday Defenders

[becky_l-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Triple the stories, triple the suspense and fun!!Christmastime suspense, clean romance, and mystery times three! Debby Giusti, Susan Sleeman, and Jodie Bailey each pen a memorable tale of a military man who must defend a beautiful civilian from dangerous enemies while guarding his heart.In Mission:Christmas Rescue, Nick, a former flame of Lizzie, returns to whisk her and her niece and nephew into the mountains and out of danger. Due to events at home and in Afghanistan, Nick deals with inferiority issues and is unable to forgive himself for a tragedy that has taken place. His response is to wander away from God. Lizzie deals with feelings of desertion and not being first in a potential military spouse's life. Ms. Giusti writes so descriptively, I felt I was trying to escape with Lizzie and the children.In Special Ops Christmas, Travis Chapman is a Green Beret assigned to recover stolen software and protect its beautiful designer. I enjoyed reading Ms. Sleeman's description of the helmet mounted technology, which she made inaccessible to anybody without the designer's permission. Therein lies the danger to Claire Reed,the designer, for whom the job comes first. Claire is not quick to trust a military man. Great ending,too!! Sleeman will again surprise you with her wrap-up!In Homefront Holiday Hero, Jodie Bailey introduces us to Kelly Walters, a civilian who works on base as a counselor for military spouse's and families. Kelly is shot at as she and Tyler Rainey leave the Family Resource Center after wrapping presents late. There is much suspense until finally the culprits who are targeting Kelly are caught... or are they?! Loved the final twist!I received this book from one of the authors in exchange for an honest review.
