“Tripwire” by Traci Hunter Abramson *book review & giveaway*


“Tripwire” by Traci Hunter Abramson

Another fantastic suspense and drama filled story involving the Saint Squad characters from previous books. Although the characters from previous books are in this story, it can be read as a stand alone and mostly involve Jane, Sienna, Craig and Reed.

I loved the fast paced action, light romance between characters, and the comradery of the squad. They work well together, trust each other, and do amazingly dangerous missions together.

Loved this book-highly recommend!

About the Book:
Jane Napierski is back at work at the job she loves—being a personal assistant to her friend Sienna Blake, a rising star actress. The duo is on location in Virginia Beach to film Sienna’s new TV series, along with costar Reed Forrester—the man with whom the world thinks Sienna is in love. Wrong.
Sienna’s heart actually belongs to her fiancé, Craig, a Navy Seal with the Saint Squad. Craig must fly under the radar if he is to keep Sienna safe from his world of terrorists and toxic bombs. And Reed has no problem pretending to date his old friend Sienna simply because it means he can spend time learning more about Jane. Making a TV series is grueling work but not nearly as difficult as the treacherous adventure that is about to begin with a simple photo taken in the wrong place at the wrong time—an image worth killing for.

When Craig returns to the United States to spend time with Sienna, he’s not expecting to spend that time protecting her and Jane. Frightening incidents targeting the two women rapidly escalate, and as Craig and his Saint Squad investigate a tangled conspiracy, they find themselves tracking, here at home, the terrorists they have searched for across the globe. But can they shut the terrorists down in time to save Jane, Reed, and Sienna?

12 Week Fitness Journal: The Ultimate Planner and Daily Tracker to Meet Your Fitness Goals

12-Week Fitness Journal: The Ultimate Planner and Daily Tracker to Meet Your Fitness Goals

I am a big fan of food and fitness tracking and have been for years! I also prefer pen and paper tracking versus electronically so this book is perfect for me!

I like that you can track and plan WEEKLY meals and fitness, as well as record DAILY meals and exercise. I have found that when I plan my weeks out ahead of time, I’m much more successful!

I like that there’s lots of space to record strength training exercises, cardio or other classes. I especially like the strength training record sheets! LOVE that I can records sets and reps of specific strength training exercises.

Each day has room to record 6 daily meals along with tracking water intake, sleep & fruits/veggies. Tracking food is just as important, if not more so, than tracking exercises.

If you are serious about weight loss, maintaining your weight, tracking your food for allergies, etc. then this book is for you! Big print-lots of space to write and journal! I highly recommend it!
