Navy SEAL Noel

Warring drug cartels in Panama keep busy trading hostilities. The latest killings have the leader of one plotting the ultimate revenge on his foe: the release of a deadly toxin sure to wipe out the competition. For this task a Ph.D candidate in bioengineering, Jessalynn McCoy, is abducted from the US and hidden away in the drug lord's compound.
SEAL Will Gumble is given the task of locating Jessalynn before Christmas and keeping the toxin from being released. Will he manage to do so? And, will the awkwardness of their former relationship cause problems? After all, he did sort of run away with no explanation.
Tension, secretive forays in the night, revealed miscommunication, and finally rebuilt trust are the mixture of emotions that evolve in this latest adventure by Liz Johnson, Navy SEAL Noel. As with her earlier books in the "Men of Valor" series, we find characters who are strong, capable, and respectful. The dialogue is fun, the pace moves quickly, emotions run high, and the mission has a very satisfying ending, tying in nicely with previous books in the series.

Happy Reading!

SEAL Under Siege

A daring middle of the night Navy SEAL rescue frees Staci Hayes from a Middle Eastern prison. Back in the States for two weeks and recovering from her ordeal, Staci has been processed, debriefed, counseled and everything you might expect after what she’s experienced.  The only thing lacking is that no one will listen, actually listen, to what she is trying to tell them. 

In desperation she heads for the local Navy base hoping to find Tristan Sawyer, the lead SEAL in her rescue. Something about her persistence causes him to take her seriously. Her certainty that she’s being followed, the recounting of what she overheard while in prison, and the scrap of paper she managed to conceal before her rescue raises his curiosity. The scrap proves to be a map of the San Diego harbor. Hmmm….

Appointing himself her constant bodyguard, he begins to admire her tenacity and determination not to be overcome by fear. He also begins to find a stirring of emotions he thought were long gone after a bad breakup in the past.  Similarly, Staci finds that latent feelings of not being worthy enough or having anything to offer in a relationship are stirring her heart. They both just want the terrorist threat over and done with so they can go on with their separate lives.

SEAL Under Siege, Liz Johnson’s latest, gives us a lively action packed story complete with just a touch of romance. The interplay of conflicting emotions from past relationships coupled with present cause her characters to be believable and endearing. As always, I look forward to Liz Johnson’s next SEAL team book!

A Promise to Protect

"Accidental" mishaps befalling the director of a battered women's shelter. Navy SEAL. Threatening notes. Nonchalant police chief. Missing friend. Human trafficking. Light romance. What do these all have in common? Well, you'll have to read Liz Johnson's newest book, A Promise to Protect, to find out. 

Ashley Sawyer, having dealt with her own past issues of an abusive boyfriend, takes her job seriously and holds herself personally responsible for the women and children who take refuge at Lil's Place.  When she and they are threatened, her brother asks his best friend and SEAL team member, Matt Waterstone, to look in on her. 

Both have weaknesses from the past that have caused them to grow up acting in their own strength without depending on others.

Ashley is startled at her mixed feelings when Matt shows up. 

For his part, Matt is surprised at how his friend's little sister all of a sudden became an adult, and confused when his heart begins doing flip flops. Putting past hangups aside and agreeing to work together helps them find out who is behind the attacks and uncover unsuspected human trafficking going on in Ashley's sleepy little town.

Liz Johnson does a great job of pulling the reader in quickly to the story. She obviously did her research and writes with authority.
A Promise to Protect does not disappoint!

Code of Justice

The helicopter started lurching uncontrollably. This was decidedly not an expected part of the sightseeing tour of Mt. Hood and Mt. Saint Helens! FBI agent Heather Sloan met the eyes of her only sibling, Kit, a deputy D.A. in Portland. Each tried to comfort the other before the inevitable crash. Confused by the pain, Heather roused herself, trying to grasp their situation in her fogged brain. Kit, weak and fading, exhorted her sister, managing to get out her last words, "Follow the drugs".

Liz Johnson's newest work of suspense, Code of Justice, has a new twist, a female FBI agent. Bruised and with a surgically repaired ACL that requires a long recovery time, Heather is put on leave and told to stay off the case. However, she manages to convince sheriff's deputy Jeremy Latham, assigned to what is now a murder investigation, that he needs her help. Her guilt over not protecting Kit coupled with a strong desire to seek revenge, not justice, causes her to push them both as they dig for the truth.

Jeremy is laboring under his own guilt over his fiance's death years before, convinced that he did not do enough to protect her. Now, as he finds himself attracted to Heather and it becomes apparent that the killer is targeting her, he finds he has to face that guilt. Will revived prayers and sharing personal fears lead Heather and Jeremy into a new relationship where they can finally put the past behind them?

I like Liz Johnson's clever, descriptive, fast paced writing style. There is some new twist almost every chapter, which draws the reader into trying to match wits with the characters. The light verbal sparring and the inner emotional conflict between Heather and Jeremy adds to the atmosphere as the story unfolds. Have some fun and read Code of Justice.

Available in both paperback and Kindle editions.
