There is plenty of romantic tension between EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton and FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield, but it is kept at bay due to greater tension caused by an escaped serial killer with a vendetta for both of them. As usual, Lynette Eason has created a compelling romantic suspense story with strong-willed protagonists and antagonists, along with plenty of unexpected turns of events. It was a great read, and am grateful to have been gifted a copy by Eason's writing buddy Cara Putman without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own. Note: I finished this book on May 13, 2022, but just realized that I'd never posted my review.

This book is amazing I LOVED IT very exciting i wouldnt have kids under ten read it though

EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is used to dangerous situations, but a forced landing on the side of a mountain in a raging storm with a critically injured patient aboard her bird takes danger into the life-threatening realm. Add in an escaped serial killer in the area she lands the chopper, and the suspense goes off the charts.

FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield is shocked to learn that his ex-girlfriend Penny is the pilot of the downed chopper. He's searching for the escapee, having been the man who put him in prison in the first place but the need to find him becomes more urgent when the man puts Penny firmly in his sights. As Penny and Holt work together, can they find the killer whose obsession has already led to the deaths of several women when Penny becomes the next object of his "affection"?

I love Lynette Eason's books - always do. Life Flight begins a new series - Extreme Measures - featuring women who work in heroic fields, like EMS. The suspense is nail-biting and the romance is very believable. Neither Holt or Penny is looking for a relationship, but they both felt led to one another. Penny's famous actress mother, Geneva Queen, adds another component to the story - keeping Penny in the forefront of the news cycle when all she wants is to remain hidden from the killer's eyes.

Life Flight is for readers who are romantic suspense addicts like I am. I can't get enough of the genre, and Ms. Eason writes some of the best I've read. I highly recommend and look forward to book 2, Crossfire, coming out in August 2022.

From the very first chapter, this story was intense! It was hard to put the book down!

Kept me envolved through the whole book!
