When A Heart Stops by Lynette Eason


The highly-anticipated second installment in the Deadly Reunions series, When a Heart Stops will have readers staying up late as they race to the finish to find out what happens. Full of the suspense and romantic tension reader have come to expect from Lynette Eason, When a Heart Stops is intense, emotional and fast-paced.
Spunky and outgoing, nothing much bothers medical examiner Serena Hopkins--except for the thought of falling in love again. But when a serial killer is picking off her former classmates, Serena's life becomes intertwined with her old high school crush, FBI agent Dominic Allen. Is the secret she's keeping putting her next on the killer's hit list? Can she trust Dominic with the truth before it's too late?

Lynette Eason is the author of several romantic suspense novels, including Too Close to Home, Don't Look Back, A Killer Among Us and When the Smoke Clears. She is a member of American Fiction Christian Writers and Romance Writers of America. A homeschooling mother of two, she has a master's degree in education from Converse College.

Here is my review of this wonderful suspense novel:

First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Lynette Eason and her publisher for sending me a copy of "When a Heart Stops" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

Lynette Eason’s “When a Heart Stops” is the second action-packed novel in her Deadly Reunions series.  Serena Hopkins is the medical examiner performing the autopsies on the victims of a copycat serial killer.  FBI Agent Dominic Allen is working the same case from another investigative angle.  When Serena and Dominic meet in the professional arena, the beautiful ME’s childhood crush on her best friend’s brother blossoms into more and it isn’t a one-sided infatuation.  But when it appears that the killer has targeted Serena, the two work feverishly to discover his identity before Serena’s time runs out.

This well-paced, suspenseful romance is a wonderful weekend read!  The reader will enjoy this novel as a standalone book, and those who have enjoyed the first book in the series will be thrilled at the continuing subplot regarding the disappearance of Serena and Alexia’s best friend the night of graduation, and the reunion with characters they’ve come to love in “When the Smoke Clears”.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
