"Anything makes you nervous, brings back bad memories—you tell me right away. You don't try to power through anything. We go as slow as you need." Meet Zac Mackay. Military codename: Cyclone . He's a widower, a protector, a hero. And the person who could destroy Anne's life. Doctor Anne Griffin is back in Oak Creek, Wyoming, only because she has no other options. Here, she was always the shy, stuttering girl, invisible to everyone. Except Zac Mackay. The very reason she left in the first place. Zac’s years in Special Forces taught him survival skills, and he’s created a company—Linear Tactical—to teach those skills to others, so they never have to live in fear. Then why is Annie, the last person he’d ever want to hurt, afraid of him ? Zac’s determined to wipe the fear from the eyes of the woman who has never been far from his mind. And fix the mistakes— his mistakes—that put that look there in the first place. But a predator has set his sights on Annie. And now survival skills will become much more than lessons… ★★★★★ Entire series complete!

Review: Healing, as time goes by - Anne’s dysfunctional family had never seen her beauty inside or out. But her friend Becky had taken her under her wing. Becky had a loving, giving Mom who had taken Anne in at the worst of times. Zac, Becky’s boyfriend had been there as a friend too, but for the rest of the town’s people she was invisible. Anne thought she could hide the longing, the love she felt for Zac but Becky saw it and understood. So Anne poured all longing in to studying for medical school so she could use her determination and love to help others. Never allowing her love for Zac to show. Until Becky, Zac’s wife, and their son Micah died in a car accident. Two weeks after their death Anne stood by as Zac got blind drunk. She tried to offer him comfort, whatever he needed, especially if it was her giving him her virginity. But it backfired, he became furious, throwing her out of the room telling her to leave and never come back. She had. Now, six years later she was back. She hadn’t had a choice, when Becky’s Mom Carol left Anne her home when she died. A damn good doctor now, Anne was broke, divorced and devastated. And Zac was firmly planted in the old town. It was a small town but maybe she could stay under his radar, safe. What she didn’t know was that Zac had never forgotten her. He had a lot to make up for. Well played out with characters that had seen a great deal of action and pain. There is a rapist on the loose and years of past regrets to for Zac to make up to Anne. Even most of the towns people had ignored what had been happening to the child Anne had been. Now the time had come for the town to step up as well, to see Anne for who she was, see her care of the people came to her when they were hurt or sick. When she needed their help most would they be there? Tense moments, spicy romance, friendships and leads into more stories to come. This is well played out bringing a second chance to heal, love and build friendships. Right old wrongs. This one is a story well worth hearing. Triggers for some maybe death of child and a beloved spouse, stalking, rape and spicy romantic scenes. Review: A Shrinking Violet Transforms Into A Blooming Rose Complete With Protective Thorns - This is my first novel by author Janie Crouch and it won’t be my last. Readers are taken on the emotional journey of Dr. Anne Griffin struggling to find solace in her world where she has experienced kindness and love countered by emotionally devastating life altering experiences. Zac MacKay, owner of Linear Tactical, hurt Anne deeply many years ago but throughout the story we learn how much he cares for her and heartwarmingly guides Anne to discover the beauty, confidence, and strength she had possessed all along. May we all have someone in our lives to support us on our journey of self growth and revelation as Anne had. Ms. Crouch gives readers more than a glimpse into small town living in the state of Wyoming. It is complete with the negative stereotype of small town gossip and balanced with the rallying support and concern for towns people in need. Chicken soup for the soul kind of “feels.” I loved the members of Linear Tactical and the brotherhood they shared as well as Anne’s supportive friend Riley. An ongoing thread in this novel is the serial rapist in the surrounding area and the effort made to track him down. Readers will definitely NOT be disappointed with the way this plays out. I had my hunch who the perpetrator of these vicious rapes may end up being but WOW was I wrong!!! Nice job Ms. Crouch! The psychologically thrilling conclusion is an edge of your seat read! Can’t wait to continue the journey with Finn and Charlotte’s story in book 2 in the series. I hope we see more of Ethan, Finn’s young son, in this next installment too. Great story! I recommend this series to fans of romantic suspense. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,828 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #8 in Mystery Anthologies (Kindle Store) #16 in Medical Fiction (Kindle Store) #23 in Medical Fiction (Books) | ## Images ![Cyclone: A Protective Hero Romantic Suspense (Linear Tactical Book 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A7PekqE-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healing, as time goes by *by I***T on January 10, 2024* Anne’s dysfunctional family had never seen her beauty inside or out.
