Can there be any future for a marked woman and a man trained to kill? She hopes they live long enough to find out…
Perfectly entertaining!
I love Laura Griffin's books and I knew I had to read The Mission Begins before the next book in the series, Cover of Night was released.
Both novellas, At the Edge and Edge of Surrender, are short but they do pack a punch. They are full of action, suspense, romance, and camaraderie. I have no idea how Laura Griffin is capable of the strong character development in such a short book but she's able to accomplish it! Even better, she's able to make the secondary characters special too.
The main couple in both short stories is Emma Wright and Ryan Owens.
Emma is the daughter of a US Congressman. She has been working as the personal assistant for a US Ambassador's wife for a while. Their latest good deed trip has taken them to the Philippines. When the book begins they are leaving the Philippines when the plane crashes making Emma the sole survivor.
Ryan is the leader of the Alpha Crew unit, a super elite team of Navy Seals. His team is in charge of the search and rescue mission of the plane crash's survivors. Alpha Crew believes hostiles are close by. The sooner they can extract Emma the better.
During this highly stressful situation, Emma and Ryan realize they are attracted to each other but one mistake can be lethal. Distractions are not needed. Ryan tries to keep his distance but nothing else matters when he realizes Emma's life is still in danger when they are both back in the USA.
I loved both novellas. They were so much fun to read. Easily devourable in just a few hours. Ryan and Emma had tons of chemistry. I can understand how things progressed so much faster in a deadly situation like these characters found themselves in. Everything moves faster in this scenario. I like the other members of the team too and I can't wait to read their stories.
Cover of Night is next for me.
Cliffhanger: No
4.5 Fangs
