"Game On"
By Lillian Duncan
About the Book:
Politics is no game when a stalker nears and there’s nowhere to hide.
A run for the senate is just a step on the road to the White House for Congressman Lucas McMann. But his public profile has put him in the middle of a crazed gunman’s twisted game of stalking. If he wants to win the election and reclaim his life, he’ll need the help of the one person who’d rather leave their past behind them.
Private Investigator Nikki Kent knows how to dig up secrets and discover those who exist in the shadows. She should. She’s good at hiding secrets of her own. Can she risk her own discovery for someone so desperate for her help? For the first man who broke her heart?
My Thoughts :
It seems as if I am "meeting" many authors new to me these days! I must admit that I am always a bit reluctant to agree to review a book that I know nothing about! However, this particular novel was NO disappointment. I enjoyed every moment of time spent with Lucas and Nikki! This author will now be on my list to watch for future new creations!
The main characters are realistically described and well developed. I easily identified with them during the first few pages and soon began to live their adventures alongside them. Nikki became my close friend as she dealt with her many hurts and challenges. It seemed as if life just kept throwing things at her to attempt to get her to her lowest point. As a P.I. , she had to deal with digging up many secrets in the past, that she would have rather left behind. I think we all know that feeling, do we want to have everyone know about the mistakes we have made??? Nikki impressed me with her courage to put her troubles aside in order to help someone who broke her heart and caused her much emotional pain. I kept wondering if I would be able to be as noble.
The plot moves steadily and at a pace that keeps the reader engaged throughout the book. There are just enough unexpected twists and turns to keep one guessing as to what will be around the next corner. Stalking is a very fearful situation and plays a major part in this book.
A Christian message is evident throughout the book. Keeping one's faith is difficult in times of trial, as Lucas shows us. Through his strength, he does succeed in winning Nikki back to her faith. Will he be able to resume a relationship with her after all of the intrigue of this mystery is settled??
This was a good read, perfect for those of us who love Christian romantic suspense books!

Guest Post from Lillian Duncan
Everyone’s heard the saying: just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone isn’t out to get you! That’s the premise of my new political thriller, GAME ON.
Congressman, Lucas McMann wants to throw his hat into the political arena once again, this time for the U.S. Senate. It’s the next step on his journey to the White House, but he believes he’s the victim of an elaborate stalking game.
The problem is no one else believes him.
He can’t move forward until he stops the game. He can’t stop the game until he discovers who’s behind it. To do that he needs someone who will believe in him enough to help him get the proof he so desperately wants.
And he knows just the person.
If only she’s put their past behind her.
Private Investigator, Nikki Kent makes a living finding out other people’s secrets, but she has one of her own. When Lucas shows up asking for her help, she refuses. She can’t take the chance of her secret coming to light. But her new-found faith won’t let her turn her back on someone who is desperate for her help—even if he was the first man to break her heart
Game On is filled with enough twists and turns that will keep you turning those pages late into the night. I really had fun writing it and hope readers will have fun reading it. My publisher outdid herself with the book trailer for GAME ON so I hope you’ll check it out at: https://youtu.be/t6MK2UGB1P0.
