An exciting on the edge of your seat ride that grabs you
from the first page until the last. Brie is an aid work with a secret that only
a few know about. Sebastian knows all about her and her past when he sees her
he can’t help but put his foot in his mouth. Even with a different name, hair,
makeup and clothes change she can’t seem to hide who she is from him or does
she…. She has worked so hard since she found out what her family is really like
to outlive what they stand for. Her family does their worse for money she does
her best to help those they hurt. Brie is the black sheep of the family. A
family who would love to pull her back in using her and her body for their
cause to make more money.
Brie is a very bright she thinks on her feet with come back
after every comeback for Sebastian who tries to put her in her place not
believing a word she is saying. She throws her hands up and said who cares
leaving with tears in her eye…she just needs to hold it together long enough to
get out of his sight then she can fall apart…
Sebastian has come up in the world he is second in command
of his unit, he has worked hard coming far from his reservation and his tribe.
He is proud of his Indian blood but he is also proud of his unit and all they
stand for. He also has a secret of how much he would love to have one night
with the princess as he calls her. He has mixed feeling from years ago and her
help with trying to put a pipe line through their native land. When he follows her out after all the cruel
words he said he finds her in tears, he fights what he sees and what he knows
to be fact…but are they?
The narrator does an outstanding job really bring the story
to life holding your attention keeping you on the edge. He gives the right amount
of pause to really let you take in what he just read keeping you hooked as you picture each detail
in your mind. I don’t feel it would have had the same effect if I had read the
story he really delivers a strong emotion listen. With a very strong voice that
really brings his male characters to life but a very feminine one that makes
his females very pleasant interesting and lively, I really loved his different
character voices. You have no trouble putting the voice with the faces they are
well balanced and really sound as you would picture them to be. You know just
who is talking and what they are feeling, you can hear their pain, sadness, sorrow,
joy, love and fear. There are no background noises, no volume changes if any
breaks were taken I could not tell. His performance was outstanding, very
clean, and clear delivering a highly entertaining audio I got lost in. From
start to finish this is how an audio should be done bring life to the
characters, making the listener buy into the story, feeling each emotion making
the listener hold their breath, laugh and want to cry, keeping the listening on
the edge delivering a story that makes you not want to put down. Just delightfully outstanding I can’t wait to
listen to more of his work.
The author gives you a well balanced story with a delightful
plot that keeps you spellbound. It is very entertaining with many twists and
turns that keeps this story moving at a fast pace, highly thrilling, and
exciting. There will be times you will have your heart in your throat waiting
for the end to be near. When the attack came on Brie and her co workers I was
holding my breath when she was taken to the salve market my heart broke. What a
tough lady that really knows how to handle herself in so many ways. When Sebastian shows up she doesn’t know what
to think, with very mixed feeling she does her best to trust him but has to
wonder if she put her trust in the wrong person. When his team put the children
first I lost my heart not only to him but his team. It is touch and go through
out with lots of action, danger. I loved the characters, the humor, danger, excitement
and the love story. I just loved how the romance was written knowing they must
keep on their toes with others out hunting them to when they set up a plan to
find out who is behind it. Danger and excitement until the very end. The author
gives a wonderful well balanced plot that is well thought out and written. I
was hooked from the first page and could not put it down. I can’t wait to see
what the next book in this series is about.

Summary
When a food storage depot in famine-struck South Sudan is torched, American
aid worker Brie Stewart flees, only to land in a market where she's the next
item up for auction. Is the attack on the aid facility another assault upon the
war-torn fledgling democracy, or has her family set her up as a pawn in their
quest for oil rights? Chief Warrant Officer Sebastian Ford crossed paths with Brie years ago when she was a shill for her family's company, pushing a pipeline that threatened his tribe's land. Determined to lead the rescue operation to save her, he won't let her abduction - or the attraction that flares between them - get in the way of settling their unfinished business.
The Green Beret's skills are put to the test in the flooded grasslands of South Sudan, where they must battle nature and dangerous factions who are after more than oil. Bastian and Brie put their hearts on the line as they find themselves embroiled in a conflict that extends beyond country and continent. Together they must douse the spark before it reaches the flashpoint and engulfs everything they hold dear.
