Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and J.B. Turner. In this story, Jon Reznick daughter is a victim of a hit and run. He needs to find the culprit and bring them to justice. In this fast paced, action packed story, Jon finds himself faced with much more than he anticipated while searching for the driver of the car that hit his daughter. I really enjoy Jon’s character and cannot wait for the sequel. Highly recommend. |

I really couldn’t put this book down! I loved the short chapters, I loved Jon Reznick and will now go back and read previous books (and hopefully future books!). I have already recommended this to friends and family. Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this. |

You could pretty much substitute the name Jon Reznick with maybe one of a half dozen similar type fictional hero’s and the storyline would still work. However it pays to be blinkered and just go with it, you soon get immersed. Good versus evil as ever but with a few twists and an omnipresent “greater good” state department clogging the works until Reznick and the Hacker (there’s a title) get to the bottom of a Diplomats wrong doings, which started with Reznicks daughter and ended with…… well read it. For those of us that enjoy a little fantasy time off it’s a good read. |

Hard Hit is the first Jon Reznick book that I have read and it is an enjoyable action thriller with our hero taking on the baddies who have this time made it personal. The author knows how to keep the action coming and the reader entertained and I would definitely recommend this book if you like this genre |
Hard hit By J.B. Turner 4 stars Fast paced action thriller. With a fast paced story line, and action on every second page, the latest in the Jon Renshaw Series will not disappoint. The story has great tension between the lead characters, which adds colour to the story. The story flows well and fast, with action continually drawing the reader in. With his daughter lying in the hospital, struck down in a reckless hit-and-run, the only thing Jon Reznick can do is wait—and plot his revenge. Not satisfied with the slow-moving police investigation, he starts his own manhunt. He discovers that the car belongs to a high-ranking diplomat whose interests are closely tied to those of the United States government, and this man may not be what he appears. The FBI wants Reznick to back down, but the more information Jon digs up, the more questions he finds. Was it a simple accident, or is there more to it? How many young women’s lives has this man ruined? Lauren’s life hangs in the balance, and Jon must get answers, no matter the cost—to him or the government. #HardHit #NetGalley |

A thriller from the beginning to the end! Jon Reznick, former Delta, who has worked for the F.B.I receives a call that his daughter is in the hospital, the victim of a hit and run. He arrives at her bedside to find that she is alert, but things take a turn for the worse and she is put in a medically induced coma. Will she survive? As Jon learns who is responsible for her accident, a foreign diplomat with immunity, he becomes enraged and proceeds to do what he does best. He will use his many talents and all sources available when the investigation stalls, and this time it is personal. The local NYPD and Feds know that they cannot contain Jon Reznick when he is determined to right a wrong. I have read and thoroughly enjoyed all of the Jon Reznick thrillers. Once you start, you will not want to stop until the end of the book – non-stop action! I know I would love to have a “Jon Reznick” on my side. Terrific read! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy) |

Hard Hit by author J.B.Turner A fast paced political thriller involving Jon Reznick . His daughter is struck by a hit and run driver who turns out to be a Ukrainian diplomate. Because the driver uses his diplomatic immunity Jon has to fight even harder for justice in the country he fought for and loves. Well recommend and give four stars |
A very fast paced read about an ex-Delta Force US Army Rangers and his daughter. As he lost his wife in 9/11, his daughter is the only most important person in his life, but she suffered a hit and run accident and she's in a coma induced hospitalized now. Of course, Jon Reznick wants revenge and he goes against everyone and everything, dismissing any advice and help from the authorities and friends. I enjoyed the writing, the fast-paced story and felt the adrenaline of the rollercoaster events. The only thing that I didn't like was that he was pictured as not knowing his daughter at all, about her current life and her wishes and abilities as it's expected from a father that his only close relative is his daughter but at the same time can't be blamed as he obviously dedicated his life to his job and maybe this was expected. It seems that I have to go back and read all the other books in the series because it definitely draws my attention. |

This is my first novel by JB Turner and it does not disappoint. It is a fast paced with political overtones. Jon Reznick is devastated when he gets the news that his daughter is the victim of a hit and run by a car belonging to a Ukrainian diplomat. He is even more furious when because of his dipolmatic immunity he gets away with this crime. Jon does not take this lying down!! I loved this book and the characters. Apparently JB Turner has a series of books with Jon Reznick and I believe this is the 6th one, but a briliant stand alone novel and I will be looking out for the others in the series as I loved Jon Reznick. |
Book Review: Hard Hit (Jon Reznick #6) by J.B.Turner In Book 6, ex-Delta Force U.S. Army Ranger and occasional FBI consultant Jon Reznick, is hit with one of the worse things that could happen to the love of his hard life: a hit-and-run which lands his daughter, Lauren, in critical condition. His wife was killed in 9/11 and his whole world is his daughter. The author reaches back to Book 1 of the series and re-involves the daughter, then kidnapped, now possibly near death in a medically-induced coma. A cool, even-tempered, unflappable Reznick was back then freelancing for the CIA coming off Delta Force duties, with the kind of work where there had to be total deniability. This time he's on vacation in between job assignments and he's presented as a little out of character - a cursing, raving, almost out-of-control parent seeking revenge, working with the FBI and NYPD, at times going rogue on his own, against Eastern European diplomats using diplomatic immunity to cover up cross-border criminal activity. J.B. Turner's likeable writing style is spot on and saves the day for an installment with a few loose ends. While Reznick kept his work and daughter separate as much as possible for her own safety, it seems implausible that he hadn't even known important developments of the young lady's life - the most precious thing left in his life - his daughter's post-college career plans, her training in martial arts and the fact that she could handle a handgun through weapons training. Still the book makes for a non-stop action thriller which complements the series and whets a demand for more of Jon Renick! Review based on an advance reading copy provided by NetGalley, Amazon Publishing and Thomas & Mercer. |

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. I have read few other books by J B Turner but first time reading John Reznick series. The book is fast paced and the characters are etched out well. John goes for revenge when his daughter meets with an accident and is in coma. He is helped by female detective investigating the case on the sides but he also use his own resources to find the person who hit his daughter. The book is fast paced and I did not keep it till I finished it. |
"Hard Hit" sweeps us up in a riveting adventure, full of intrigue, and grabs you from the very beginning. It’s enjoyable and light but captivating. It’s an easy read... I highly recommend it. It really draws you in.!! |
I've read several books by J.B. Turner and have enjoyed them all. Easy to read and fast paced. I highly recommend this book. |
Diplomatic immunity, hit and run, a father out for justice. Fast paced thrilling story. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good old fashion thrill ride. |

Found this very hard to get into at first. But as the story unfolded it was hard to put down. It was definitely worth the perseverance. |

I have read all the Jon Reznick books and this one does not disappoint. It starts with his daughter being the victim of a hit and run as she was out jogging. She was left for dead and obviously this does not sit well with Reznick. When he finds out due to diplomatic immunity, the offender will get off without any punishment, it sets in motion the best part of the book; a father of a child that is wronged. A great book. Thank you J. B. Turner, Netgalley, Amazon Publishing UK , Thomas & Mercer |

This book was a huge disappointment and it was a struggle to finish the book. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this book. |
John S, Reviewer
Sixth in the series of thrillers featuring John Reznick. As expected our hero displays all his maverick qualities when his daughter is the victim of a hit and run driver. Although the story rattles along at breakneck speed the plot is hampered by the irredeemably evil villain, who comes across as something of a pantomime figure . That said, the series itself is worthwhile but the law of diminishing returns make this far from the best episode. |
A political thriller that has some serious thought provoking material. Jon's world is thrown upside down when his daughter is a victim of a hit and run. It's even more so when he realizes that the country he's fought hard for and loved is going to abandon his quest for justice. What will he do? I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. |

Sometime since I have had the pleasure of catching up with Jon Reznick who seemed to be enjoying for his a relatively quiet life, until an incident that personally involved his family leads him back in the solving crime in his own hard hitting way. |
