My Review:
During Charlotte Hanover's very first art showing, her childhood crush, Mark Riley shows up to offer his support. During a breather in the alley behind the gallery, Charlotte and Mark reunite. With his guard down, Mark's family's nemesis strikes and kidnaps not only Mark but Charlotte, as well. Not part of the plan, the addition of Charlotte ups the game and increases the torture of Mark. Then the unthinkable happens - Mark and Charlotte become the pawns in a sick game with only one winner.
Escape with the Navy SEAL wasn't anything I thought it would be. I knew Mark would be a strong fighter. He is, after all, a Navy SEAL. I figured with Mark being kidnapped along with his lifelong crush, Charlotte, the book would be filled with a whining heroine, holding Mark back from planning and executing their escape. Boy, was I incorrect. This book has two equally strong characters in Mark and Charlotte.
I was on the edge of my seat through the entire book. I feared for Mark and Charlotte from the beginning to the end of Escape with the Navy SEAL. At first it was a fear that Charlotte was going to get both of them killed. Then it morphed into a fear that no matter how hard and how good the duo worked together, they still wouldn't make it out. I feared for their relationship to never become realized because neither could jump on the wagon at the same time.
I enjoyed Escape with the Navy SEAL. The story was full of action, suspense, and romance. There were so many twists and turns, heart-stopping moments, and horrific events. I had a hard time putting the book down, and when I did, all I could think about was getting back to it as soon as possible.
I was provided a paperback copy of this book to read.
