Sometimes I finish a book in a series, and want to devour the next one ASAP. That makes the wait long but often the payoff is completely worth it. As is the case with book two in Susan Sleeman’s White Knights series. Kill Shot is one to get your hands on ASAP!
In My Opinion
Susan Sleeman is an expert at putting readers in the center of an investigation and keeping them guessing until the end of the story.
In Kill Shot, book two of the White Knights series, weapons expert and former sniper Rick Cannon takes the lead on the investigation into stolen self-steering bullets, which gives anyone with a rifle a threat.
Olivia Dobbs witnessed someone standing over the body of one of her clients. She is the only one who can identify the killer the White Knights are hunting. As a psychologist to veterans with PTSD, Olivia understands more than others how the human mind works—and the cocky FBI agent who keeps turning up is a puzzle for her to solve.
High action, tension, and suspense playout like scenes from a movie, yet it’s the humanness of the characters—their doubts, their fears, their actions and reactions—that make Sleeman’s stories ones shouldn’t miss.

About the Book
Some fears haunt you forever….
As the ballistics and weapon’s expert for the FBI’s special task force nicknamed the White Knights, Rick Cannon has known the Department of Defense was developing self-steering bullets. Rick feared these smart bullets–which have one hundred percent accuracy that can turn even a novice into a lethal sniper–would eventually end up in the hands of the wrong people. But since the ammunition was still in the development stage, he figured they had plenty of time before that happened. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
Until they become reality.
When a homeless vet is killed with a smart bullet, it’s clear that the ammunition has been stolen, and the Knights are called in to find the thief and stop the killings. But they aren’t the only ones desperate to find the killer. Therapist Olivia Dobbs is well known for her success in counseling military veterans with PTSD. When she discovers one of her clients moments after he is murdered, she becomes both the FBI’s prime witness, and suspect.
Despite the mutual attraction that immediately sparks between them, Rick can’t–no he won’t–let Olivia interfere with his investigation. But when the sniper trains his rifle on her, Rick must recall all the skills he learned as a Marine sniper to make sure the next bullet fired isn’t a kill shot that takes Olivia out.

I’d have to say both. My husband is a retired engineer, so he is really smart. He also has brawn.
Both would be lovely. Though if I had to choose one over the other, I’d choose brains.
Great review! Susan Sleeman is the queen of Christian romantic suspense. Hands down! I adore her books. I don’t know how she does it and invents all these scenarios in her mind. But I hope she keeps it up.
She’s one of my favorites too!
I would choose brains. Cause my hubby is brainy but he’s pretty fit for a 68 year old! If you are brainy, you could think your way out of a situation. But I know he would do anything to protect me! Thanks for this opportunity.
Great review and I love to read Susan’s books! She really is an expert at keeping me captivated and guessing! I want to have brains & brawn! I’m too bored if the hero/heroine doesn’t have both.
Oh, please, both. No dumb heros, please.
Brains is important. And makes the brawny more attractive. Looks like a fantastic read. So hoping
Definitely brains.
My husband is so smart and kind. I’ll take that over brawn, but he is strong and pure determination gets him through some things that amaze me.
I’m looking forward to reading Susan’s book. Thanks for your review.
Absolutely both! They work well together! Love your books! Thanks for giving us another good read!
I choose brains.
I’d say both! Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!
I would take brains over brawn anyday! Though if he were physically fighting for me, a little brand would be welcomed 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway chance, Susan is one of my favorite authors!
That’s supposed to read brawn NOT brand, lol!
Brains, please, but a little brawn definitely helps, too. I guess both is best.
I prefer both. Looks fade and I would love to have other qualities to see me into old age.
Both would be best but if I had to pick only one it would be brains.
If I had to choose I would say brains, but both would be nice!
I’d say both! What’s a hero without brains & brawn? Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
