Critical Alliance (Rocky Mountain Courage Book #3): (Cyberattack Suspense and Clean Romance in the Montana Rocky Mountains) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 470 ratings

Mackenzie Hanson's special set of skills opened the door to a successful career as a professor of cybersecurity at a Michigan university, allowing her to put her criminal past behind her. But when a long-ago partner in crime delivers a cryptic message about her father's tech company being under cyberattack, she heads for Montana to secure exposed assets, close security breaches, and hopefully save lives.

Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight is back home in Montana to decompress from a mission gone wrong. But even as he's trying to relax, he's drawn into another mystery, complete with suspicious deaths, lethal threats, and whispers of espionage that all have one thing in common--a beautiful cybersecurity expert with a dark past.

When the situation turns deadly, Alex and Mackenzie will have to work together to find the answers they need--before someone silences Mackenzie for good.

USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard weaves a tangled web of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping romance in this fast-paced conclusion to her Rocky Mountain Courage series.

A Thrilling Page Turner Conclusion to the Rocky Mountain Courage Series!

A Thrilling Page Turner Conclusion to the Rocky Mountain Courage Series!
Wow! This was a complete page turner that kept me at the edge of my seat from page one!I was really looking forward to Alex Knight’s story and Elizabeth Goddard delivered another winner in the last installment of the Rocky Mountain Series!Alex Knight is taking a much-needed break and reprieve from his work after a failed mission as a Diplomatic Security Services special agent. Plus, he wants to investigate the vandalism that has been done for the second time to his father’s memorial on the Rocky Mountain. That’s where he meets Mackenzie, a woman he met a few years ago, and hasn’t forgotten ever since. Biking near her family’s property, he discovers a drone that is watching Mackenzie, and later when he finds her, a shooter attacks them unexpectedly, and they can barely escape. Who is behind these spying and attacks?Mackenzie works as a professor of cybersecurity at Michigan University. She has a shady past as a cybercriminal which she wants to leave sealed in the past. But when her former teenage partner in crime contacts her and delivers a cryptic message about her deceased dad’s tech company -Hanstech- being under cyber-attack, she heads to Montana to protect and hopefully save her dad’s company. But who is behind these attacks, and why would they want her dead? And why is her sister acting so strange as if she’s been threatened? Can she mend her family relations?This book had me captivated and guessing the whole time! The suspense was ongoing and the story had unexpected twists that kept me engaged until the last page! The villain was unexpected. The characters were very relatable. Even if this book can be perfectly read as a standalone, I liked that I already knew most of the characters!Mackenzie and Alex were great characters. Mackenzie was a woman whose dark past and mistakes still burdened her. She had started a new leaf many years ago, and yet she still felt the regret of her cybercrimes, and to having fallen short of her family’s expectations. Now she wants to make up for it. She’s strong and determined, and Alex’s charm and confidence sways her more than she wants. There’s a good chemistry between them and I liked the romance between them, sweet but with lots of spark. I also liked that it’s not the main focus of the story. Alex was a great hero. He had his own mistakes, he wasn’t perfect and that made him more relatable. He was loyal to the core and he conquered me with his protectiveness of Mackenzie. He was on a break, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t available to help a friend in need, more like the woman he’s so attracted to and wants to reconnect. He was also a loyal friend too. I liked the bond between him and Terra, Erin, Jack and Nathan. They were a strong team. The vandalizing of his father’s memorial added to the mystery.All in all, this was an amazing thriller that kept me glued to the pages. There was also an inspiring message about forgiveness and redemption that enlightened me. God always has our back and he can bring good out of the bad, if we trust Him to guide us.I highly recommend this story to Romantic Suspense Lovers! The Rocky Mountain Courage Series is not one to be missed!I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Publisher but wasn’t required to post a positive review. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

After a bit of reading, I was hooked. At first I couldn't figure out what the mystery was... and then, there was plenty to figure out! It kept me guessing... and loving the people in the story. They are all great characters, with small side stories. I'm looking forward to more, please.

I have just finished the final book of the Rocky Mountain Courage Series and I must say they were very good. Each book kept me on pins and needles constantly. I love to read these kinds of books and Elizabeth Godard came through again this time with her awesome talent.

I waffled between 3.5 and 4 stars for this book. Usually, I love everything this author writes. I love her characters, her settings and her story lines! I loved the other two books in this series too. This book, however, just didn't grab me. I liked Alex quite a bit but Mackenzie, I didn't connect with. I liked her well enough, and she really was caught between a rock and a hard place, but I just felt like there were so many people willing to help her and she was a little bit selfish in trying to do everything on her own. Alex put everything on the line for her and she seemed to push his assistance away all the time unless it suited her. However, the hardest part of the book was that I just didn't understand what was going on most of the time. I completely understand that that is personal! I don't "get" the whole cybersecurity thing but there just seemed to be too much technical "stuff" going on and I felt lost during so much of the book. It made it hard for me to follow. I understand the basics of cybersecurity but when it gets technical, my brain shuts down a little bit! The real action of the story didn't start until about 35-40% of the way through and that was too long for me! I had to finish the book, of course, but it wasn't a page-turner for me. I'm sure the author's next book will be, however!

Having never had the pleasure of reading an Elizabeth Goddard book I did not know what to expect. Pleasantly surprised, I am recommending this book to anyone who likes a light, romantic mystery. And, I now have another good author to add to my current favorite author's list.

Critical Alliance is an outstanding fast paced, edge of your seat clean romantic suspense! Elizabeth Goddard has joined together all of the elements for a cohesive story that is perfectly balanced with suspense, fear, hope, faith and romance. Mackenzie Hanson and Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight must combine all of their skills to fight the pervasive destruction of a deadly cyber criminal bent on destruction. This is very much a don’t want to put it down, page turner.
My thanks to Revell Publishing House and Elizabeth Goddard for an ARC of this book. I was asked for an honest review. The opinions stated here is completely mine.

McKenzie and Alex are strong characters typical of the lead characters in the series. This is a clean and fascinating read. I am wondering if there will be an Owens' story. It would be an interesting addition to the series.

The opening chapter is so incredibly well told, I felt like I was sitting in a room listening to a seasoned storyteller regal an event that had happened to her, so real was the dialogue, setting, reactions, and emotions...kudos!

Great detail, but not too much for us non-cyber geeks, to peak and concern readers about what is happening in the world where we live. (now that is a well-written story.)

The ending does a great job of wrapping everything up.

Love the Montana setting. Goddard said she likes to put stories in great settings. She certainly did in this book.

I loved this story about Alex and McKenzie. It was suspenseful and mysterious. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I love how God can take the wrong done in our past and use it for good. Nice job by the author.
