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

Mar. 15th, 2012 Book Review :: Firethorn by Ronie Kendig
Do not, under any circumstances, no matter how tempted you are…do not open this book if you have anything urgent on your to-do list. If you have to do laundry or you’ll be going to a meeting in gym clothes. If you have to buy groceries or everyone will be eating cereal for supper. If… [ read more ]
Mar. 12th, 2012 Does God Care When We Suffer?
Last week, we asked a tough question …Does God care when we suffer? Because He knows everything that is and was and will be, maybe He is able to view our suffering with a dispassionate air. Maybe not. Let’s dig a little deeper… In John 9, we read the story of the man born blind. A man, Jesus tells us, who had… [ read more ]
Mar. 8th, 2012 My Five Favorite Romantic Suspense Authors
A few weeks ago we talked about the seven things readers can do to support their favorite authors . But there was one item I left off the list…on purpose!

Mar. 5th, 2012 When the Miraculous Becomes Mundane
When you grow up in church, it’s so easy for the stories of Jesus to become—well—boring. After so much repetition, we lose our sense of wonder. The miraculous becomes mundane. When the wedding runs out of wine, we aren’t concerned. We know Jesus makes great wine. When the crowds are hungry, we aren’t worried about… [ read more ]
Mar. 1st, 2012 Book Review::Unleash the Writer Within by Cecil Murphey
For my first guest post at The Write Conversation (my first guest post ever!) I reviewed a talk given by Cec Murphey at our local Cross Way Christian Supply . I was impressed by his approachable manner and his willingness to share his writing knowledge with us. He’s written more than 120 books and they’ve sold millions of copies. So when he turned his attention to writing a… [ read more ]
Feb. 23rd, 2012 7 Ways Readers Can Support Their Favorite Authors
Before I began hanging out with writers, it never occurred to me that the authors of my favorite books were real people with mortgages, laundry, soccer practices, and—in many cases—day jobs. Obviously, I knew these things, but I didn’t think that there was anything I—a reader—could do to support or encourage them in any meaningful… [ read more ]
Feb. 20th, 2012 The Cone of Shame
It happened again last week. I entered the Cone of Shame. If you have kids, you’ve been there. It started out innocently enough. Everyone was smiling as I announced that we (that would be me and my three littles) were going to the store and then we were going to get French fries!(They were. I… [ read more ]
Feb. 16th, 2012 Book Review and Giveaway :: When the Smoke Clears by Lynette Eason
Lynette Eason has done it again! When the Smoke Clears is the first in her new Deadly Reunions series (doesn’t that sound ominous!) and it has everything I loved from her Women of Justice series – romance, mystery, and characters with intriguing professions. But she’s taken it up a notch in the suspense department! The first few chapters come hard and fast with all the pacing of a… [ read more ]
Feb. 13th, 2012 Do You Feel the Love?
Every now and then, I have a great idea for a blog post, but the words won’t flow. So I change gears. Write something else. And wait. I have waited months. This time, I only had to wait a week for God to finish my thoughts and leave me, again, in wonder at His love… [ read more ]
Feb. 9th, 2012 Book Review :: Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst
Can you picture this scene? A young, young-ish, um, a mom with young children is standing in the checkout line. The baby is crying. The toddler is whining. The big sister is screaming at the top of her lungs that she wants to go home. The mom keeps the smile pasted on her face but… [ read more ]
