Product Description

Desperate to track down her ex-husband who disappeared along with their son, Grace Stevens delves into his past and uncovers evidence of a shocking dual life. The man she thought was an ordinary computer consultant is in fact a former high-ranking Special Forces officer with unique skills in military intelligence. With nowhere to turn she is forced to plead for help from Keith King, the one man she hoped to never see again. Against her better judgment she’ll have to put her child’s fate into his hands.

Keith has officially hit rock bottom. Framed for the theft of deadly missile components, the cynical Special Forces officer is in danger of losing the only thing he can count on: his career. His one shot at clearing his name lies in locating Grace’s ex, who was working with Keith on a secret mission to take down a cutthroat military traitor. But to team up with Grace he’ll need to spend 24/7 with a woman who has every reason to hate him. Out to use each other for their own agenda, desperate mother and disillusioned soldier find they must work together to stay alive, and in the process discover that sometimes even the best of enemies fall in love.

Great balance of romance and suspense 14 May 2011
By Jeannie Lin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tightly written and well-balanced romantic suspense story about a mother on a quest to save her son and a fallen hero on a quest for redemption. The best part about this book for me was the action scenes. They were fast-paced and moved the story as well as the romantic involvement between Grace and Keith along with the right sense of tension and adventure. It's always difficult to involve children in a romance or suspense plot, but I felt Her Own Best Enemy managed to handle Grace's concern for her son, Ryker, and her growing feelings for Keith in a believable way. At times it felt like the past connection between Grace and Keith was just thrown in to add obstacles in a scenario that was already chock-full, but it was only a minor distraction for me as the characters and the adventure were executed really well.

There are also some nice hints dropped in of other Special Ops team members who are fascinating characters in their own rights that I'm sure have stories of their own coming up.

Action-packed 29 Mar 2011
By Heather A. Sapp - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Her Own Best Enemy" is Cynthia Justlin's debut, and it's a thrilling ride. Special Forces heroes don't usually do it for me, but I absolutely fell in love with Keith King. Both of the characters were wonderfully drawn, actually. The romance was satisfying, but didn't overwhelm the suspense plot. If you're like me, you prefer your romantic suspense to be heavier on the suspense, and Ms. Justlin hits the mark. I look forward to reading more from her!

4.25 stars - Engrossing, fast-moving romantic suspense! 27 Mar 2011
By LuvMyKindle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book held my interest all the way through keeping me in the story, clicking pages, and wanting to know more. I thought it was a good mix of drama, suspense, action, and romance, and yet not too graphic at all. Both the dialogue and pace flowed very smoothly. I found a few scenes to be very touching and emotional. The characters of the hero and heroine were well-developed and the author's writing made me feel as if I were inside their heads knowing their thoughts. Grace was believable as mother who would do anything to find and protect her son. The depiction of how Keith regretted and overcame his bad boy past was plausible - even if just a tad overdone, it emphasized just how much and why his teenage years and military career defined him as a person, and his decisions/actions towards the end were quite consistent and credible, in my opinion. I would have liked a bit more interaction between Grace and her sister, Becca, and more information than what was given about Becca's condition and how she coped all these years because she didn't seem to be as bad off as Grace made her out to be, but even without this, the author delivered a very satisfying story and conclusion. Her Own Best Enemy is the first book I've read by this author and I will look forward to reading her future releases.
