REVIEW: Classified Christmas Mission by Lynette Eason HQN

Classified Christmas Mission by Lynette Eason lives up to its’ genre as a romantic suspense, strong on the suspense. The heroine, Amber, is an independent, strong undercover intelligence agent trying to protect the young son of her closest friend, who was just killed.

Amber and the little boy, of whom she is now the guardian, are on a desperate quest to disappear, perhaps permanently, so he will not be killed by his own father- who is an evil criminal that is ashamed of having a special needs son.

The little boy also has valuable information stored in his mind, which Amber, and eventually Lance and others in the Wrangler’s Corner police department must coax him to share. And they are forced to be patient and let him share it in his own way, as he is autistic. They are constantly racing from one hiding place to another to escape her friends’ husband. Meanwhile, Amber wrestles with whether she should stay in the CIA, once they bring Pirhadi to justice.

Amber and Lance walk a fine line in trying to hide their growing feelings for each other, while trying to stay alive and one step ahead of Pirhadi. I definitely recommend this for fans of romantic suspense.
