Description
"Critical Doubt is as intense as it is haunting. Freethy proves she has staying power with a mind bending, heart-stopping, captivating tale." Isha - Bookbub
They met in a war-torn city on the other side of the world and shared an anonymous night of passion. They didn't intend to meet again. Nor did they think they'd be reunited by sinister secrets...
Five years later, FBI Agent Savannah Kane is headed to a small town in Georgia for the funeral of her best friend's husband. Going home is fraught with complications, but Savannah never imagined one of those would be Ryker Stone, the stranger she'd shared an unforgettable night with.
Haunted by an ambush that took the lives of two men in his unit, Ryker now copes by living a solitary civilian life. Attending the funeral of yet another soldier, this one lost to a senseless accident, he is shocked to run into the beautiful stranger he has never forgotten.
When another man in Ryker's former unit dies under suspicious circumstances, it's clear that someone is targeting his team. He's determined to get the truth; Savannah is just as determined to get answers for her friend. Neither wants to work with the other, and as they struggle with trust and attraction, the truth grows murkier...and more dangerous. Will finding answers reveal secrets neither one of them is ready to know?

5By Mpomper514Barbara Freethy never fails to deliver twists and turns from page 1 of her books, and this one doesn't fail in that regard. When Ryker (a former Army Ranger) shows up to a former team member's funeral he is in for a shock. While in the army he had had a one-night stand, and always regretted not knowing her name and has always thought about her. Enter Savannah, who had decided to enter the FBI. Savannah is the best friend of the wife of Ryker's friend. Grab your seat as you follow the adventures of Ryker and Savannah that deliver so many surprises along the way, with an even more surprising ending. Highly recommend.The Perfect Balance of Action, Intrigue, and Romance
5By LoveDachshundsCritical Doubt is a masterful story that delivers the perfect balance of action, intrigue, and romance. I enjoyed the story of Savannah and Ryker with their wonderful chemistry. The action started at the beginning of the book and didn’t stop until the end. It had many unexpected twists and turns. I really like having the previous team members being involved in the current storyline. This is another extremely captivating and suspenseful book that I highly recommend. I hope there are many more books like this coming from Barbara Freethy in the future.Critical Doubt
5By Jen G FARC for honest review with no compensation Critical Doubt is book 7 in Off The Grid: FBI series by Barbara Freethy and another awesome read in this series!! 5 years ago....Ryker Stone on leave overseas mistakes Savannah Kane as a cheerleader that’s been entertaining the troops and they have a one night fling, sharing no information except a hot steamy night! Fast forward 5 years later,they meet again at the funeral of Ryker’s teammate and Savannah’s best friend’s husband... What happens next takes you on a roller coaster ride of suspense, secrets, faking death, twists, turns and more questions than answers but oh what an ending!!Critical Doubt
5By pudge48Another winner. I have enjoyed the whole series, and hope there is more. Every book you have written, has been outstanding. Keep writing. Pudge48Love a good suspense filled romance
5By GrinandstampitWhat happens when you run into a one night stand (literally) you haven’t seen in five years? A lot happens! Savanna Kane goes back to her hometown of Dobbs, Georgia to attend the funeral of her best friend Abby’s husband Paul. She has known that the mystery man she slept with was on Paul’s Army Ranger team from a picture she had seen two years before. Ryker Stone was blindsided by bumping into Savannah as he never even knew her name. After brief introductions, and an accident involving another Ranger team member after the funeral, Ryker and Savannah are linked as they try to find out what happened. Savannah’s FBI team members and Quantico friends also jump in to support and help. Barbara Freethy takes us on the journey with Savannah and Ryker as they try to get some answers as to what is happening to Ryker’s former team. Can they also overcome the one night stand to be more? They seem to have so much more in common than they expected. This author’s writing kept me riveted to the story that I could not put down. Definitely a 5 star read.Critical Doubt
5By Ellen/OceansideCRITICAL DOUBT....Barbara Freethy For Ryker the past seven months have been hell for him, his team and a deadly ambush. Now a third member’s funeral, none was in the army now. He needed to find out why Paul was up on the roof drinking from morning to night,, looking at his picture and then at Abbey and her seven year old son. For Abby she feels guilty, Paul wasn’t the man she married, and she couldn’t help him, and he refused getting help. She had secrets she had not told till now. Telling Savannah, her friend and FBI agent now, but there was more. The team did it for their country, now they were broken, scared and part of them have died. A deep emotional look, at the wounded men serving our country. The impact when home, and trying to adjust. They.wanted answers, needed answers to move on, of what happened. Can Ryker and Savannah find them, with attempts against them, to stop. It will impact readers, the characters were real, the emotions were real, and long remembered Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
