Blackburn's Defend and Protect series is off with a bang in Unknown Threat. This heart-racing romantic suspense is one for the keeper shelf! Don your tactical vests and get ready to engage a compelling story that will forbid you from abandoning its pages. Do. Not. Miss. This. One! Ronie Kendig Bestselling, award-winning author of The Tox Files
Unknown Threat is a fantastic read! An action-packed opening and sharply drawn characters drew me right in and held me captive. Blackburn has an exceptional gift for weaving twisting plots with characters that walk right off the page. I absolutely adore Faith, the bright and stalwart FBI special agent. I love the attention to detail regarding Secret Service operations. The swoon-worthy romance between Faith and Luke is the perfect slow burn. Unknown Threat is an exciting start to a thrilling new romantic-suspense series!Elizabeth GoddardAward-winning author of the Uncommon Justice series
In Unknown Threat, Lynn Blackburn has created a page-turning novel with all the elements I've come to love in her books. The hero and heroine are unique and compelling, while surrounded by a rich cast that adds depth to the story. The suspense thread is intense and pulses with energy and pressure. And the romance? It's perfection, with tension to keep me rooting for the characters. It's a perfect read for those who love engaging stories that are threaded with hope.Cara PutmanAward-wining author of Flight Risk and Imperfect Justice
Lynn Blackburn has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite romantic suspense authors list! In Too Deep was much anticipated and it did not disappoint! I literally devoured this book in one sitting! Filled with suspense, action, and danger, this book kept me anxiously wondering what would happen next! I love the balance between suspense and romance! And this gang of characters, the dive team, is everything! BringingUpBooks
Leigh’s ability to rescue herself, Ryan’s respect and support, and a terrific cast of law-enforcement and hospital personnel make this vivid start of Blackburn’s Dive Team Investigations series a real page-turner.Booklist
Fans of Dani Pettrey’s “Alaskan Courage” thrillers will enjoy this nail-biter of a series opener, which will also be appreciated by romantic and psychological suspense fans.Library Journal
The author balances the personal relationships and the mystery well. Her descriptions are so vivid and accurate that you can see the scenes playing out before you . . . Lynn is definitely going to be a great new author to follow.More Than A Review

Sep. 29th, 2011 31 Days of . . .
Last week, I posted a review of Grace for the Good Girl by Emily P. Freeman. Emily blogs at Chatting at the Sky and she issued an invitation to join her in blogging for 31 days straight on the topic of our choice. Last year, she blogged on 31 Days of Grace (how appropriate) and this year, she’s taking October to share with us 31 Days to Change the World (she aims high)! When I finished reading… [ read more ]
Sep. 26th, 2011 Mindful Mondays ~ Sweet Surrender
Image by TheCulinaryGeek via Flickr Most mornings I need a jolt (or two or three) of caffeine to keep me on my feet. So the other day, I fixed myself a cup of coffee, poured in a generous portion of french vanilla creamer and ran out the door. As I pulled out of my driveway, I… [ read more ]
Sep. 22nd, 2011 Thoughtful Thursdays ~ Book Review: Grace for the Good Girl~letting go of the try-hard life by Emily P. Freeman
I would have made an awesome Pharisee. Except for the fact that I’m not Jewish. And I’m a girl. But still . . . I love rules. I love following the rules. I’m such a “good girl.” My list of “nevers” is long and impressive . . . if you care about that sort of… [ read more ]
Sep. 19th, 2011 My Hardwood Heart
I hate carpet for one reason. You can’t clean it. You can get most of the spots out. But they’ll come back. Because they weren’t ever really gone. And that’s why I love the hardwood floors in my new house. Love them. Herds of small children can run around carrying cups of purple grape juice… [ read more ]
Sep. 16th, 2011 Thoughtful Thursdays ~ Book Review: The Queen by Steven James
I had never heard of Steven James before attending the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference in 2010. I actually ate breakfast with him on my first morning there and came away with two observations. First, that he was funny (which he proved repeatedly throughout the conference) and second, that he was a nice guy. One person who sat at our table didn’t… [ read more ]
Sep. 8th, 2011 Thoughtful Thursdays ~ Hit Send
When I left the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference in May of 2010 I overflowed with writerly confidence. My manuscript had received a positive critique. The words “you’re almost ready” had been uttered. I left with marching orders . . . to submit fiction proposals to three agents and one editor. And I intended to. As soon as I incorporated… [ read more ]

Deuteronomy 33:25 ~ Your bars shall be iron and bronze, and as your days, so shall your strength be. (ESV) Right now, I don’t feel like my bars are iron or bronze. I feel like a half-way decent puff of wind could knock me over. There is nothing sturdy about me. I’m… [ read more ]

I will forever be thankful for the four months I spent taking Fiction that Sells through the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild . I’m talking about that today over at The Write Conversation . Please stop by and say hello!

Aug. 25th, 2011 Thoughtful Thursdays ~ Book Review: I Used to Be So Organized by Glynnis Whitwer
I’m a pretty organized person. Or. Um. I used to be. Before. Before having a baby. And then another one. And another one. And then moving when the last one was three weeks old. (Sidebar: I do NOT recommend moving with a newborn. Avoid at all costs). I miss my old organized self. I miss… [ read more ]
