CAUGHT UP IN THE CROSSHAIRS




CAUGHT UP IS WHAT THEY ARE!


 

Barb Han’s Caught in the Crosshairs is one electrically charged romantic suspense thriller. Protagonist Lauren James is faced with the prospect of saving her brother’s life. However, saving his life is not cut and dry. When she attempts to meet his kidnapper’s demand her own life is caught in the crosshairs.

Like any good novel, you must have a hero and Jaden Dean definitely fits the bill. The six foot three take charge government agent appears on the scene in the nick of time, just as she was almost kidnapped. Unfortunately, he loses a friend; naturally he suspects Lauren James and her brother of illegal activity.

His suspicions are sidelined in the attempt to escape the kidnappers. They commandeer a boat as a storm comes ashore, in the hopes of losing their enemy. But their enemy is not deterred, following them out to sea. Lauren and Jaden’s only alternative is to vacate the boat and swim to safety. The sea becomes the enemy of the moment, angrily churning and swelling pulling them under every time they make headway.

The struggle to live has a way of making people re-examine their life, which is what Lauren and Jaden did. They realized they substituted love with employment. The fight for survival forced them to be dependent upon someone else, thus awakening those feelings they had buried. Caught in the Crosshairs had me all caught up in Lauren and Jaden’s passion.

The story behind the story

Although Silence is Broken has a clear cut protagonist, the antagonist is a bit of a mystery. The story is written in the first person view. Each character is recording the days events. Each of them wants their readers to know the motives behind their behavior.

Beginning with Khloe, who is a businesswoman. Xavier is a businessman you would be leery to deal with. Tamera is coping with her feelings of abandonment. Kiera, the party girl, thought she was on top of things.

This is just the drama within friendships. Each character has drama within their family unit. Family secrets are coming to an head. The mystery of the book, solve the identity of the person in Captured by the Game. Someone is all caught up and tied up, who is it? Are they eventually rescued or will they die? Will the captors be discovered?

The answers lie in the book.  Silence is Broken is anything but boring. Get the book, its available at Amazon.com and at my website. www.yvonnemikell.com.
