Collateral Damage
Danger Never Sleeps book 1
by Lynette Eason
-From Goodreads- Honorably discharged from the Army after an explosion nearly killed her, former military psychiatrist Brooke Adams has set up shop to help others--but her days of helping military personnel are over. She's got her own battles to fight from her time overseas, and she's not equipped to take on more. Former Army Special Ops Sergeant First Class Asher James could handle anything that war sent his way--terrorists, bombs, bullets. The only thing that scares him now is sleep. As the shadows close in, the nightmares begin. Finally convinced that he needs help, Asher makes an appointment with a counselor, and Brooke is pressed by her boss to take him on. When he arrives at her office she isn't there--but a dead body is. Brooke is devastated when she walks in, and Asher is a conveniently strong shoulder to cry on. But she can't take him on as a client after sharing such an intimate and unprofessional moment, can she? And he's not sure he can handle sharing his deepest fears with such a beautiful woman. When it becomes clear that Brooke was the real target of the attack--and that her secrets go even deeper than his own--Asher vows to protect her no matter what. Bestselling author Lynette Eason is back with a new series that spans the globe and will have your heart working overtime.

While probably not my favorite Lynette Eason book, Collateral Damage is still a good story. The action scenes were top notch, and there were plenty of them, and I liked the connection between Asher and Brooke, having both been in the military in a war zone they each understand the other's issues like no one else could.
Collateral Damage had a number of disparate threads that, at first, I wondered how they could possibly be brought together, but, Lynette Eason did so and quite nicely at that. As I mentioned before, this book had a lot of action not to mention some pretty chilling moments. So, if romantic suspense with hard-hitting issues is your thing you should check the first book in the Danger Never Sleeps series...
