With a title like Collateral Damage readers should ready themselves for just that, right? Sadly, even with the title warning of such painful twists and turns I found even more damage than I had thought possible in one book, with danger at every turn, secrets, and assassins. I’ve struggled to write this review since I liked how Asher was portrayed and I kind of liked Brooke though she felt under developed, but honestly? This is my least favorite book by Eason. I really didn’t like it. Wow, never thought I would say that about Lynette Eason’s books since I have enjoyed each of the books I’ve read by her. Sadly, this book was sickening, sad, heartbreaking, and so much more. I hated what the bad guys did, I really hated the story because of the subjects covered, like a lot. YEAH THIS IS A SPOILER BUT I DON’T CARE … Organ trafficking kids? SICK! Yes, I understand that sick horrible people do this, and that this needs to be stopped but PLEASE some warning before I pick up a book I expect to like and end up instead feeling like puking. Sorry, but this is just such a painful story and I really don’t know how to rate it since I disliked so much about it yet enjoyed some of it. And I’m writing this reviedw after the fact which means I have been avoiding writing this review which proves my dislike of it. If I had known what would happen would I request to read and review Collateral Damage? Maybe, I would not have expected it to be like this but I would have had some warning, right? I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I don’t think I have read a book by Lynette Eason that I have not liked. Collateral Damage, the first book in the Danger Never Sleeps series, is no exception. Its complex plotting, credible characters, and hold-your-breath action keeps Eason a must-read author and Collateral Damage a recommended read. I loved that the book is set in both Afghanistan and South Carolina. It helped show that actions taken across the world really impact people in our own country — even actions of a very nefarious nature. The differences between the countries are vast, but the motivations and hearts of the people are the same, both for the good and bad. I won’t include any spoilers, but this book’s subject matter was a bit hard to read. But hard doesn’t mean graphic or sensationalized. The story begins with a bang, literally, and keeps its race-against-time pace throughout. The plot has a lot of seemingly unconnected strands, but they slowly emerge in one complexly crafted thread. As with any Eason novel, romance is also included. Main characters Brooke and Asher at first fight their chemistry — they both struggle with PTSD from their time in Afghanistan — but as they come to rely on each other more and more, you know that a strong relationship is sure to follow. While I really enjoyed this book, I did find the actual investigation a bit hard to believe. Neither Brooke or Asher are in law enforcement, yet they are included in the case almost from the start. Not sure that would happen in real life, but this is fiction so I am good with their level of involvement in this riveting book. For fans of romantic suspense, Collateral Damage is a great reading choice. Recommended. Audience: adults. (Thanks to Revell for a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone)
Collateral Damage was an amazing book. I enjoyed the character developments as well the way the novel unfolded as I read. I honestly did not want to put the book down. Appartient à la série

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.

As typical of a Lynette Eason book, this story is told with compelling prose that makes it difficult to put down. Eason also wove themes of faith in throughout the book well.
However, I felt like too many characters were introduced in a short time and as a result, the story was more difficult to understand.
Overall, this was not my favorite Lynette Eason book and I doubt that I'd visit the story again for a reread.
