Features & Highlights

  • Attorney Hope Finch is a rising star at the prestigious New York law firm of Rice & Taylor and is used to high stakes litigation. But when she’s sent to what she thought was a small, sleepy town in Georgia, she is unprepared for the dangerous turn of events that threaten her life and career. FBI Special Agent Gabe Marino knows that something sinister is happening in his hometown of Maxwell, Georgia. But even he doesn’t know how big the threat is until he’s assigned to protect a visiting big city lawyer. As Gabe investigates the illegal activity linked to Hope’s client, he tries to caution her, but she ignores his warnings—until it’s her life that’s in jeopardy. When Hope becomes the target in a deadly corporate cover up that is directly tied to the biggest trial the town of Maxwell has ever seen, she and Gabe have to find a way to work together. Hope and Gabe race against the clock to uncover the true threat, but can Gabe keep Hope safe in the face of danger or will time run out on them both?

Intense!

Lethal Action was an intense and exciting novel! I liked both main characters right from the start, so it was easy to get caught up in their story. Danger lurks around every corner for Hope, making it very hard for Gabe to keep her safe and helping to create a fast paced story.

Both Hope and Gabe have been very career driven individuals and have had some personal hurts to overcome in the past. It was fun to watch as romance blossomed even in the tense situations that they were in. I thought that the relationship angle and the doubts and potential problems they voiced were very realistic.

The author did a good job of creating dangerous situations for Hope to end up in and quite an interesting reason that she was being targeted that is only fully revealed at the end of the book. Lethal Action also had a gentle thread of faith flowing through the story as Hope began to reacquaint herself with God. I enjoyed this thrilling story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. These opinions are my own.

I haven't read many legal thrillers before but thoroughly enjoyed this one

I haven't read many legal thrillers before but thoroughly enjoyed this one! Believable characters combined with a great plot made this a fun read. I had a hard time putting the book down at times. I wanted to know what happened next! Looking forward to more Rachel Dylan novels!

Great suspense novel

Great suspense novel. A pretty quick read. Lots of death-defying action as attorney Hope Finch finds herself being the target of multiple attempts on her life. Someone wants information, only problem is that she doesn’t know what the bad guys are after. I enjoyed the fast-paced action and definitely recommend this.

Easy-to-read Legal Thriller

This is the third Rachel Dylan book that I’ve read, and though I really liked her latest (“Deadly Proof”), this one was very similar to the other that I had read. I personally like a little more diversity, but if you like just an easy-read legal thriller, this would be a great book for you.

The spiritual thread was in there, but I thought it was a little weak. Gabe was the strong man of faith, and it was mentioned a few times. Just didn’t stand out as super strong.

Overall it was a clean read. There was falling in love and a couple of kisses, but nothing beyond that.

A Very Good Story!

I can't remember the last time I read a legal thriller, so I was happy when I had the chance to read this one...and, that Lethal Action was a good read.

Pretty much from the beginning it had my attention. I thought the book had likeable characters, an interesting story, and great writing. A couple of things that happened in the story did seem a little unlikely, at least to me, but I suppose they are possible. ;p

All in all, a very good story and easy read. I look forward to the next book in the series and do recommend this if you like the genre.
