Suspense and romance combine in Susan Sleeman's thrilling new novel about an FBI agent who must team up with a beautiful therapist to stop a killer with a deadly new weapon.
***Some fears haunt you forever....***
As the ballistics and weapon's expert for the FBI's special task force nicknamed the White Knights, Rick Cannon has known the Department of Defense was developing self-steering bullets. Rick feared these smart bullets--which have one hundred percent accuracy that can turn even a novice into a lethal sniper--would eventually end up in the hands of the wrong people. But since the ammunition was still in the development stage, he figured they had plenty of time before that happened. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
***Until they become reality.***
When a homeless vet is killed with a smart bullet, it's clear that the ammunition has been stolen, and the Knights are called in to find the thief and stop the killings. But they aren't the only ones desperate to find the killer. Therapist Olivia Dobbs is well known for her success in counseling military veterans with PTSD. When she discovers one of her clients moments after he is murdered, she becomes both the FBI's prime witness, and suspect.
Despite the mutual attraction that immediately sparks between them, Rick can't--no he won't--let Olivia interfere with his investigation. But when the sniper trains his rifle on her, Rick must recall all the skills he learned as a Marine sniper to make sure the next bullet fired isn't a kill shot that takes Olivia out.

Christian romantic suspense is one of my favourite genres, so I was lookng forward to reading Killl Shot by new-to-me author Susan Sleeman. \\r\\n\\r\\nUnfortunately, I wasn't impressed. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis might be because I read Kill Shot right after If I Live by Terri Blackstock (which I've been anxiously anticipating for a year, and which more than met expectations) and Oath of Honor by Lynette Eason (a brilliant start to a new must-read series). \\r\\n\\r\\nOr it might be for some other reason. \\r\\n\\r\\nWhatever the reason, Kill Shot didn't grab me. It should have. It ticked all the boxes for Christian romantic suspense. But there was no zing, no wow! factor. It felt tired, same old. The plot was solid, but the writing didn't sparkle, which meant the romance was less than convincing. And what's a romantic suspense novel without a great romance?\\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Faithwords and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
