HOLIDAY ILLUSION
by Lynette Eason
Dr. Lucas Bennett needs to take Paublo to the states for a heart transplant. Paublo is number two on the transplant list and without the operation, Paublo will surely die. Dr. Lucas asks Anna Freeman to go with him, since he needs a top orphanage official to sign for Paublo’s operation.
Anna used to be an FBI agent, but when she was shot at she fled to Brazil. The guy she was after was imprisoned for embezzlement, but not for murder or the other crimes he’s committed. Now he’s being released from prison—at the same time Anna is in the states to sign for Paublo’s operation.
It doesn’t take the bad guys long to realize Anna is back in town. And Anna is quick to ditch her orphanage duties and jump back in with the FBI, desperate to put her man back behind bars and keep him there. Will she succeed this time. Or will Anna be next in a long line of murders?
HOLIDAY ILLUSION is a heart-breaking story of a young child dying and the two adults who love it. Set during the Christmas season, Paublo has a desire to see Christmas, and snow, for the first time in his life, and I couldn’t help but hope that Paublo will get both his wishes.
Lucas is a kind, compassionate hero, one the reader can’t help but cheer for, and Anna is nice, with lots of secrets. I had to keep reading to see how she’d catch the bad guy. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $5.50. 218 pages.

As a person who has a healthy obsession with Alias (the former TV show) and spy action romance dramas in general, this was a fabulous read for me to add to my shelves. I highly recommend it. I could easily compare it to reading Jill Elizabeth Nelson’s spy action as well.
This is book #3 and I have not read the first two, and I did not feel like I was missing anything. I do not know what the first two are about, but you better believe after this one that I plan to go back and read those as well as look for other titles from Lynette Eason to come.
Anna and Lucas both have an individual past that they would prefer to leave behind them. The problem is to move further in their relationship they must come clean with their secrets. Another problem is that for neither of them is the past really willing to let go itself.
There are so many things in life that we see that sometimes we miss the important parts. This is a great story about realizing the big picture and going the right way in life according to God’s ultimate plan while noticing that many illusions can and will attempt to lead you astray.
I personally love it, and want more. Right now!
