FAILSAFE
by Traci Hunter Abramson
In the wide-open landscape of Pennsylvania, Charlotte Martin and her father live a peaceful life on their farm. . . or so it seems. In truth, the rural locale provides the perfect front for the father-daughter NSA operatives as they expertly carry out their mission: using a high-tech computer system, they protect a team of undercover agents. Some would kill to have access to this system, and it makes Charlotte and her father prime targets. It was only a matter of time before this nightmare unexpectedly crashed down on them, and only Charlotte escaped with her life. Before Dwight Martin died, though, he initiated the failsafe lockdown, and now Charlotte's the only one who can access the system.
Writer Jake Bradford left the serene Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia for the hustle and bustle New York to pursue his dreams and never looked back. Until now. Entrusted with his ailing grandmother's care, Jake knows he needs help and he can't believe his luck when a lovely young woman providentially appears on his doorstep. Charlotte creates a new persona for herself and quickly develops a bond with Jake's grandmother. But it's the connection she feels with Jake that makes it almost too easy to lose sight of her reality: she is being hunted by men who will stop at nothing to access the intelligence she protects. With time running out, can the couple find a future together, or will Charlotte's secrets tear them apart?
My Review
I LOVED the unusual, intriguing twists in this book. Such as the mode of transportation chosen to not be tracked, and the family history twist to try to find out who Charlotte's real parents were, and what requesting a birth certificate leads to. As always Traci delivers great action-packed suspense with just a hint of romance...just like I like it! Traci Hunter Abramson is one of my all-time favorite authors- I highly recommend all of her books! Get ready for a "brand new adventure!" "She can run...but can she survive?" SO. SO. SO. GOOD!

2. When I first arrived at BYU my freshman year, I kept trying to figure out what people were talking about when they said a girl was going for her MRS. degree. It was second semester before I finally understood they were talking about someone hoping to get married.
3. For years, I always had to sit at the end of the table for dinner because I'm right handed. Three of my four children are lefties.
4. I learned how to ride a horse when I was three because my grandfather caught me heading to the pasture carrying a lead rope. He figured he'd better teach me about horses before I learned the hard way on my own.
5. I wrote the majority of Failsafe using a digital recorder while driving back and forth across the state of Virginia to visit a friend in the hospital every week. The scenery was "written" while I was driving through it.
6. In college, I majored in Finance and International Business because I didn't think it was possible to follow my dream of becoming an author.
7. My mother-in-law lives next door to me. Yes, this is a good thing.
8. My favorite kind of sandwich: sautéed mushrooms and lettuce (especially the spring mix)
9. I love Mexican food but my husband and kids all prefer sushi.
10. While editing Royal Target, I accidentally sent it in to my editor without renaming it. She laughed when she saw my working title: royal pain.
