Her Own Best Enemy by Cynthia Justlin
Title: Her Own Best Enemy
Author: Cynthia Justlin
Publisher: Smashwords Edition
Publish Date: 2011
Format: PDF
Her Own Best Enemy by Cynthia Justlin was a brisk paced read from the beginning. The pace of the story fit the plot and the characters to a “T” in every sense of the word.
Grace Stevens is a mother with everything to lose. Her son has been kidnapped by her ex-husband and the only man to help is one from her past. One with whom those past dealing were anything but good.
Keith King is the man that can help Grace find her son Ryker. But will he? He’s in a Rehabilitation Center and to leave is to go AWOL from the Army where he is part of Special Forces.
Grace convinces Keith to help her, and he escapes the secure facility, and meets her at a per-arranged rendezvous point. Of course, things aren’t that smooth, but I’m not going to spoil the book for you by telling you too much.
Early in the story, Grace and Keith go to Grace’s ex-husband’s home, where they discover that Mark Stevens had not taken Ryker’s asthma medication with him. Grace being a diligent and very worried mother wants to get the medication, but at that moment….
The story continues as Grace and Keith go searching for Ryker and find other things along the way. In reading the book, you’ll learn what those things are and how it all ties together to bring us to the ending we receive.
If you like a strong heroine, an Army Dude and a smart and loveable kid, then this is the book for you, with some “bangs” thrown in for good measure.
I want to say to Cynthia; job well done. I very much enjoyed reading Her Own Best Enemy. I look forward to reading more from you.… (més)

Not just read, really. Devoured. Forsook eating (okay, put off eating, but read while I ate–same thing, right?). Took my Nook to the bathroom (sorry, TMI). Forgot to take the dogs out.
Yes. Intrusion is that good.
The book begins with Cameron Scott breaking into Nanodyne, a company that specializes in nanotechnology. We learn quickly that, while charming and full of bravado, Cam has a dark secret behind a nagging knee injury that flares at the worst possible times. His quick in-and-out testing of Nanodyne’s security system quickly goes south when he breaks into Dr. Audra McCain’s office. He catches a security guard downloading info from Audra’s computer and taking finger prints from her coffee mug and strands of hair from her hairbrush. Not long after the guard leaves, insomniac Audra enters, ready to put the finishing touches on an armor prototype that could save thousands of soldiers’ lives. When she and Cam meet for the first time, there’s an undeniable chemistry that sizzles between the two and hounds them for the rest of the book.
But when the prototype ends up missing, Audra is arrested. A quick diversion and abduction later, and she’s back with Cam, where she eventually realizes she belongs.
I. Love. This. Book. It quickly put me in the mind of movies like Mission Impossible and GoldenEye (of course, that could be due to the various mentions of Serbia), which is completely the opposite of a bad thing, as those are two of my all-time favorite movies. Both Cam and Audra are terrifically flawed–he being a perfectionist brought up by a hard-ass father, and she being abandoned at a young age. The two are wonderfully believable and so is their romance. It’s not forced. Instead, it’s a tug-of-war between a man who wants nothing more than to be loved and a woman who would rather be eaten up by acid from the inside out than ever trust, let alone love, another human being. Their romance is organic and not cliched. Yes, there’s the undeniable lust and attraction in the beginning, but Cam wants more than Audra’s body; he wants a heart she’s unwilling to give.
The other reason I love this book is that there are explosions and danger and espionage and betrayal and unexpected double crossings and all the things I enjoy in my action-packed movies and books. Cam is two parts Bruce Willis with one part puppy dog and a sprinkle of Johnny Storm (from the Fantastic Four movies) thrown in for good measure. Audra reminds me a LOT of Natalya Simonova from GoldenEye. She’s not at all cut out for this kind of work, but dammit, she’s spunky and she gives it her best. And best of all, the villain isn’t A) clear-cut or B) cardboard. He has a POV as well, and the reader gets insight into his motives. In all honesty, if the book were rewritten from Ivan’s POV, he’d be a hell of an anti-hero.
The formatting in my edition was a little wonky, though, which made dialogue a challenge to read. Other than that, though, I’m hard-pressed to find a criticism for this book. What can I say? I’m a sucker for broken men.
If you’re looking for a well-written, thoughtful book filled with Hollywood-style thrill, fabulous tension, and rounded characters, this is for you. Even if you’re not, you should still check this one out.… (més)
