Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Sarah Denning is a military journalist with the Army in the Middle East when her convoy is attacked and she's taken hostage. When former Army Ranger Gavin Black is asked by his old unit commander--Sarah's imposing father--to plan an extremely risky rescue, he reluctantly agrees and successfully executes it.

Back in the US, Sarah is livid when she's discharged on a false psychiatric evaluation and vows to return to the Army. Until she learns of her brother's suicide. Unable to believe her brother would do such a thing, she puts her plans on hold and enlists Gavin to help her discover the truth. What they uncover may be the biggest story of Sarah's career--if she can survive long enough to write it.


My Review:
Acceptable Risk is a Christian romantic suspense. Sarah dealt with PTSD, a controlling father, and someone attempting to kidnapped or harm her. She also was determined to track down the truth about what happened to her brother and someone she met in the hospital. The suspense came from repeated, violent attempts against her and Gavin. Her father secretly hired Gavin to protect her, which he'd gladly do, anyway. Sarah and Gavin had dated for a while in the past, and he's still interested in her.

The main characters were inquisitive, caring people who reacted realistically to events. Sarah and Gavin built each other up, helped each other grow and heal, and made a good team. The Christians were motivated by their belief in the worth of human life. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting story.
