Shadow
A Linear Tactical Romantic Suspense Standalone
by Janie Crouch
Dragging an innocent into his war was never a part of the plan.
Heath Kavanaugh lost years of his life working for a covert agency that ended up being the enemy. Knowing they put something inside his head--constant, incomprehensible whispers--is driving him crazy.
He needs answers, but they're nowhere to be found.
What he definitely doesn't need is to fall hard for his Linear teammate's younger sister, Jacquelyn--the adorable linguistics doctoral student who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Especially when Heath's attention puts her directly in the path of a danger he thought was gone for good. To stop it, they'll have to figure out what's in his head. And hope it doesn't destroy them all.

Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A best friend's little sister romance done Janie Crouch style. The trope has been done and done again but add the Linear Tactical crew for some suspense and danger from the past for an unputdownable read. Heath is more talker than fighter, unlike so many of the Linear Tactical family. That's not to say he doesn't know his way around a sparring ring or how to handle himself in dangerous situations. Of course, he gets plenty of chances to show off more than one kind of skill in Shadow. Most of the family that makes up this crew, and make no mistake, this is a family, have seen their share of trouble, and several have been affected by Project Crypt, a less than aboveboard organization, but Heath is unique with the constant whispers in his head. Whispers that seem like nothing more than gibberish. In addition to Heath's need for answers, we get a new case for him to work on, one that leads him right to his teammate's little sister. There are lots of secrets in this one as well as a delicious romance, and of course, plenty of danger to keep us on our toes. The story can be read as a standalone, but once you've met the crazy bunch of characters who make up Linear Tactical, you'll want more of them. We do get a little bit of a hint about the next great romance for this series, and I can't wait to see where it goes.
