Rogue Survivor

This story drew me in from the beginning. It has all the emotions and strong developed characters. Connor is trying to recover from a severe beating that left his almost dead. He's determined to get himself back to physical shape so that he can go back to active duty with the FBI. Isabel is a single mother after losing her husband about ten years ago. Her daughter is 17 and getting ready to graduate high school and head off to college. An encounter at the gym leads to coffee dates for Connor and Isabel and just as things start to get serious, her daughter goes missing.Connor proves where there's a will there's a way and works to find her without the help of the FBI. This has love, attraction, danger and violence. All the emotions are there and no one is written as a weak character. Her teenage daughter could have cowered in the corner and instead she helped save them all.

I had a really hard time putting down the book just to sleep. It was really good. I always like the parts with the details of the main characters' physique!!

Audiobook:

I could seriously listen to Sebastian York narrate anything... all day long. His ability to pull Connor off the page so precisely and capture every nuance in both his accent and character just blew me away. Melanie Mendez is, I think, a new narrator to me, but she pulled off Isabel's confidence, worry and strength - along with Veronica's spunk - so well that I'd be happy to hear more from her again soon.

Original review:

Rogue Survivor was definitely one of her more emotional stories.

That isn't to say that there isn't any action, or mystery - we're handed the intrigue almost immediately - but the dynamic between the characters involved made everything feel more heightened, more on the brink of the kind of disaster you can't really recover from. It had me glued to every page.

I loved how this book felt a little different. It felt very akin to the first GR book, Rogue Protector, where, despite the plot and inclusion of other characters we've seen before, Connor, Isabella and Veronica felt like they were in their own little world. In so many ways, that made it perfect for the budding relationship between Connor and Isabella, and especially between Connor and V. I honestly can't say which of the two relationships I adored more.

And as always, the story just had to inject another growly hero that we're desperate to learn more about down the line. Those Texans, I'm tellin' ya...

This story was absolutely everything I want in a good escape.

Connor is one guy that takes his job very seriously however his challenge is yet to come as he gets his life back on track.

ROGUE SURVIVOR by Patricia EddyBEST BOOK OF DECEMBER! A lovely love story complete with a happily ever after. I think I just might re-read it after I do this review. Connor, Isabel, and Veronica .. family extraordinaire. Great characters, terrific storyline, action packed, heart thumping like crazy towards the end. Kleenex alert. I couldn't put this book down except for you-know-what breaks. LOVED LOVED LOVED!
