 Author: Lynette Eason Genre: Romantic Suspense Series: Soldiers in Shadows #1 Pages: 352 Release Date: August 4, 2026 Publisher: Revell He came to protect a witness. She came to teach survival skills. Now they're targets with an enemy who won't let either of them walk away. FBI agent Sully Sullivan arrives at Broken Chains Ranch with Ollie Callahan--a foster teen and sole witness to a mob hit. The ranch, started by Sully's cousin to provide a trauma recovery facility for veterans, should be a place he can keep Ollie safe until the trial. But what was meant as a peaceful haven becomes a battleground when armed attackers surround the property. Survival expert Elena Thompson teaches wilderness skills at the ranch and coaches Ollie in self-defense. As the series of attacks on the ranch escalates into a full siege, the question becomes who the attackers are after: Ollie, the young witness? Or Elena, with her mysterious past? With communications down and help out of reach, Sully and Elena fight to keep everyone alive as secrets and danger close in.
 Reviewer: Paula Shreckhise I quickly got caught up in this intriguing story where danger was the norm. Broken Chains Ranch is the setting for an exciting adventure about an FBI agent Collin/Sully/Sullivan and his partner who are trying to protect teen Ollie before she testifies to witnessing a mob murder. On the ranch run by cousin Maya, Sully encounters Elena Thompson who helps Maya run the ranch. But Elena has secrets about her past that are about to catch up to her. “It awes me. That God can take our worst moments and turn them into something beautiful.” This was a great representation of a godly hero and heroine as they combat the bad guys. I liked the cooperation between local agencies when they were up against tech savvy villains. The twists and turns kept me on my toes as I tried to figure out where the threats were coming from. The attraction between the main characters progressed slowly because of the proximity to danger, although danger brought out admirable qualities that advanced that attraction. Trust had to be earned. A fantastic start to a brand new series by a prolific writer of suspense. A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Revell through PICT tours and via NetGalley. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone. Reviewer: Trinity Caver Twilight Tactics by Lynette Eason is an excellent suspense/thriller. It starts to ramp up quickly through the initial chapters and pages and never really slows down too much. There were some pretty intense moments that really made me sit on the edge of my seat to find out what was going to happen next. There is no doubt that this book is an entertaining book, but a book filled with the faith in our One and Only True God. I truly appreciate this book and others like it where the authors are not compromising to win over audiences. There is a whole cast of characters, but Sully and Elena are the two main characters that are focused on the most. They both come from a background where they have been hurt by some traumatic experiences. Sully is an FBI agent who now has the duty to protect a young girl who has witnessed a murder and heard plans by the mob in the area. Sully and his partner must protect her until she can testify, and this is where things start to get riveting. Of course, wouldn’t you know it, the mob wants Ollie as she is nicknamed to be silenced by whatever means necessary, so you can just imagine what happens throughout this ride. Elena is a girl that has a past living and being a prepper. She left that life behind and now lives on a ranch that helps people deal with issues such as PTSD or other mental challenges. She bonds with Ollie and a little with Sully. Elena has certain skills because of her prepper training and some from her own resilience, so Ollie wants to learn some of those things and this is one of the ways that her and Ollie bond. She is not sure what is going on with her feelings as far as Sully is concerned, but she knows she is not ready for a serious relationship, so she is keeping it professional and just helping Ollie. The preppers and the mob have a common interest or so it seems. The two groups team up to accomplish these goals. It is up to Sully and his partner to figure out what more is afoot with these two groups or there could be dire consequences if they cannot. Now you know more about what the book is, you will have to pick it up and find out what happens. I hope you will be just as excited as I was reading it. I recommend grabbing it as soon as you are able and I venture to say, you will not be disappointed. I received a complimentary copy from Revell through Interviews & Reviews, for my honest opinion. Reviewer: Anna Bottoms Suspense doesn’t begin to describe this book, as danger lurks around every corner, and you never know which direction it will come from next. Top this off with a witness hiding from the mob and another possibly being targeted by a local prepper cult from which she’s broken ties. Don’t plan on sleeping tonight. You won’t be able to put this one down. Sully is a character I really like. He’s dedicated to the job of keeping Ollie safe and manages to show that it’s not just duty but he really cares. He’s determined to keep both Ollie and Elena safe, even if it’s despite themselves. Elena is self sufficient and not all that trusting when it comes to men. She’s torn about her sister still being with the preppers, but she knows better than most the trouble they could be in. She also finds herself a little too much aware of Sully. The premise of the story is a little different in an entirely good way and sets this book apart. It’s well written, tightly plotted, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I was given a copy courtesy of Revell through Interviews & Reviews via NetGalley, and this is my honest opinion of the book. Reviewer: Lori Parrish
Y’all, this may be my favorite Lynette Eason book yet! Oh my! I love each and every one of these delightful characters. Wow! I kept turning the pages to find out what happened next. Eason has a way of doing that to me. I loved every minute of this story. I couldn’t put it down until the end. I wanted to add a little quote: “Sometimes you can do everything right, and then everything goes wrong.” How true. This book has action and adventure all the way through. What more could a reader want?! I can’t wait for the next story to come out! There’s also faith and hope throughout this story. I found myself cheering them on as they were figuring out to get out of their situation and who was after whom and why. Was it Ollie or Elena? 5 stars for a job well done!
