"Final Approach" is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the 4th book in a series, but it works as a standalone. So someone hijacks a plane full of law enforcement officers on their way to a vacation in a certain city. He merely intended to divert the flight to another random town. Why did they never ask if a major crime was going to go down in the place they were headed to? Anyway, someone's pulling people's strings to manipulate them, and it was pretty obvious to me who was doing it. Whodunit became more obvious as events piled up and clues were found. I understand why Kristine didn't make the connection until the very end, but whodunit practically waved a flag with some of their statements which should have made someone look a little harder at whodunit for at least one event.

The main characters were likable, capable people who reacted realistically to events. Kristine and Andrew worked well together and supported each other. The suspense came from danger to several characters. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting story.

The action begins when the plane Christine and Andrew and their friends are on is hijacked and it doesn't stop until the end. There are lots of twists and turns to get to the truth. With each question answered more arise and they work together to solve the crime. This story has action, suspense, faith, romance, and friendship.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

WOW hold on for all the twists and turns in this book. Kristine, an air marshal, witnesses and stops a hijacking and Andrew , an FBI agent is on the same flight. They have a mutual attraction and work together with Andrew’s team to find who is behind the hijacking.

Little did Kristine know the twists and turns their investigation would bring about. If you like lots of action, twists and turns and a little romance this is the book for you!

This is a fast paced fun book. Both main characters have baggage they have to deal with to move forward and I love how they work together to deal with it. So many plot twists and turns that keep you guessing and a great finish to the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and series.
I received a ARC copy but the opinions are my own.

Great book, 3.5 stars

While a Christian book by description, this one wasn't over the top. Yes, there were references but nothing that I felt offensive or overdone. That said, it was a clean story, not too violent and with themes that you wouldn't normally associate with Christian novels.

When Kristine's last trip immediately before vacation gets interrupted by a hijacking, as an air marshall she steps in to prevent tragedy. Her friend group was also on the flight, mostly all law enforcement of one type or another, heading to vacation. Once they were back on solid ground, the investigation begins.

The author wove in many red herrings into the plot, and I absolutely never imagined who the real "bad guy" was. It shocked me!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Kristine Duncan is an Air Marshall on vacation and stops a plane hijacking along with FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross. As they investigate the hijacking, attempts are made on their lives. This is a fast-paced mystery that I enjoyed reading. I would never have guessed the ending. There were twists and turns throughout the book.

I received an copy of this book from Revell Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

The cabin erupted into chaos as the assailant, caught off guard, plunged the homemade weapon into his hostage’s shoulder….

This quote from Final Approach is a perfect example of how Lynette Eason always begins her story with a scene that could come from a movie. The intense interrogation of the would be hijacker, Marcus barely scratched the surface of the mystery Andrew and Kristine needed to unravel. The mastermind had used Marcus as a pawn, and this father’s actions, out of desperation, had a very strong impact on his family. I felt so bad for all of his children and the pain his actions caused his wife. As usual, Eason molds different types of family dynamics in a way that leaves me glued to the pages. Everyone had their reasons to wreck havoc on those around them, and that made this story even more interesting to read. A must read.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.

Air Marshal Kristine Duncan is on a flight to a vacation with her friends when a man attempts to hijack the plane. However, the attempt fails due to the presence of numerous law enforcement officers on board. After returning to Lake City, an investigation reveals that the man was paid to carry out the hijacking. FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross, who was also on the flight and eager to get to know Kristine better during the vacation, becomes involved in the case. Back home, as they work to uncover who hired the hijacker, an old friend reaches out to Andrew seeking protection, fearing his cover has been compromised. The story unfolds with plenty of twists and turns, unraveling who is behind what and their true motives.

Final Approach is suspenseful, action-packed addition to the series with recurring characters from other books. This is Kristine and Andrew's story. They are not dating but are interested in each other. The story starts off with a bang with all the friends on their way to Key West when their plane is hijacked. Kristine, an Air Marshall, takes control along with her friends, most in law enforcement. Andrew, an FBI agent and his partner take the hijacker in custody on the ground. As the group unravels the who, why, and so forth, old events are brought to the surface, including Kristine's mom's death. This story has suspense, danger, mystery, and many surprises along with faith and romance. A great addition to the series. I received a copy for the purpose of an honest review and these are my thoughts.

Hang on to your seats - this is one wild ride! A long awaited vacation for a great group of friends has finally begun. Only problem - their flight is being hijacked!! This is just the beginning of a complex plot puzzle that I wondered if there was any chance of deciphering who was being targeted and what was the motive behind it?

A mystery with more twists and turns than you could imagine, betrayal and romance brings this wonderful series to a close. I am so grateful to Revell, Baker Publishing Group and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of Lake City Heroes #4. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

After a foiled hijacking with a hijacker who didn’t seem like he actually wanted to do it, Kristine and Andrew, along with their friends from the first three books in this series, dig into the case. Little is as it appears and a shocking tie-in to a long ago past case makes little sense.

This was a solid book that I liked and fans of this author and series will enjoy it.

This is Christian fiction so expect prayer and discussions of faith.

Family friendly.

Thanks to NetGalley and Revell. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I really enjoyed this latest novel by Lynette Eason! I believe her writing just keeps getting better and better. This was one that I had a hard time putting down. I felt like I was part of the story and I couldn’t wait to find out how it was going to end. This one had non-stop action and suspense throughout. This book started out with a bang as there was a hijacker on the plane. I loved the chemistry between Kristine and Andrew. They ran into all kinds of obstacles and new developments along the way. There were so many twists and turns throughout and a great big twist at the end! I highly recommend this book and all of Lynette Eason’s books!

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This book was really really good. I was drawn in from the first page and didn't want to put the book down.
I really enjoyed these characters and their lives.

As with all Lynette Eason books, I expected a good read and got one. I never saw the ending coming. Good use of misdirection :)

Whew what a flight! Lynette Eason out does herself as she brings the Lake City Heroes series to a dramatic conclusion.
Eason navigates this tumultuous story line with lots of turbulence. There are so many ups and downs an threads to pull. But she does it expertly and keeps readers engages from start to finish. Andrew and Kristine are the hold outs in this friend group and of course are thrown together to navigate the friendly or not so friendly skies as they try to uncover the secrets of a hijacker, who disrupted their vacation, with his less than honorable actions.
I enjoyed this story and definitely had my suspicions as I read through the repeated chaos Eason puts these friends through. It was fun to see what it would take for Kristine and Andrew to come to their senses and realize they were meant to be together for always.
Thank you to NetGalley and Revell for the opportunity to read this series finale. All opinions are my own.

I can always count on Eason to provide a thrilling story built off wonderful characters. The series surrounds a close group of first responders and law enforcement with a deep love of faith. The couples are there for each other in personal need and working cases. Each book is for a new couple and new case, however friends are always around from other books. This one was a big storyline with multiple situations, a puzzling amount of suspects and some deep personal matters. I definitely recommend reading the series in order, or it spoils some of the relationships, to grasp how amazing this group of characters truly is and how it’s easy to envy them. This book has everything to intrigue the mind and heart. I enjoyed an early copy from the publisher and wrote this review voluntarily.

What a thrill ride! Final Approach kept me eagerly turning the pages in this fantastic finale to a great romantic suspense series! Lynette Eason knows how to keep a reader enthralled from the very first. This story starts off with a plane hijacking & the non-stop action ratchets up from there. With a slow burn romance, many twists & turns, & a lovely faith thread, this story did not disappoint.

Air Marshal Kristine Duncan’s on a flight to Key West with a group of her law enforcement friends & FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross whom she hopes to get to know better on the trip. When a hijacker tries to take control of the plane, Kristine & Andrew work together with their colleagues to subdue the guy & safely land the plane. Though their plans are dashed, they get to work closely together to investigate the hijacker. But, it seems like someone’s out to sabotage Kristine, & just when they think they have the suspects figured out, there’s another twist. As their relationship grows, they have to decide if it’s worth the risk as they find themselves in one dangerous situation after another.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced suspense! There were so many twists, red herrings, & intense, action-packed scenes. Just when I thought they were safe, there’s another attempt on their lives. I had my suspicions as to who the villain was, but it wasn’t until the end that the puzzle pieces all came together.

Loved Kristine’s & Andrew’s slow burn romance. They’re both attracted to each other, but are reluctant to share their feelings. I enjoyed seeing their romance progress from friends & confidants to more. The faith thread was beautifully woven in throughout the story as Kristine & Andrew share their deepest regrets & failures & find understanding & forgiveness. I also enjoyed seeing familiar faces from the previous books.

Highly recommend this book & the entire series to romantic suspense fans! Thought part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. I received an advanced copy from the publisher with no expectation of a positive review. All opinions are my own & provided voluntarily. 4.5 to 5 stars!

Readers who have eagerly waited for the conclusion to the Lake City Heroes series will not be disappointed, Starting with a bang, this story is filled with suspense and action to the end. Very fast paced and highly addictive. Those who have not read the first three books will not want to miss them. Can be read as a stand-alone. Highly recommended!
