Synopsis

I’ll be honest with you—I'm no hero. Sure, the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There’s even a line in one of our cadences: “Superman is the man of steel, he ain’t no match for Navy SEAL.” You've seen the movies—we’re indestructible, invincible. But that night, the one you read about in the papers … all I really wanted to do was get laid.

One harmless fuck with a Curaçao whore, no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked smile. After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the tears of the children I couldn't save, and the eyes of the enemies I slaughtered during their last seconds of life.

But before I left, her hazel eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct Californian accent, “My name is Annie Hamilton. I'm an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship five years ago. You're my last hope. Please save me.”

One desperate plea. This wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster or a New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew that this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put the cape on and be her hero.

Favorite Quotes

“My name is Annie Hamilton. I’m an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship five years ago. You’re my last hope. Please save me.”

I’m not saving her because I love her. I don’t even know her. I’m saving her because it’s the right thing to do.”

My baby boy looked up at me, his big eyes brighter than usual. “Mama, where are we going?” “Home, baby. We’re going home.”

This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

This was a story about a girl named Annie who had been kidnapped and made into a hooker. It was said but when she saw Patrick she knew he was the right man to save her or was he?

Patrick was a seal who was waiting to go back home after an assignment. He wanted a women and he figured he was safe to pay for what he wanted. He didn’t want a college student or a woman who wanted a seal as a notch on their bed so a whore house was the way to go so he thought. That was until he met Annie. Little did he know he would have another mission one that may cost him more than just his job. The abuse, drugs and many men Annie was with she feels she will never be saved or loved. Patrick did not believe her until he saw the article about her. So now due to his honor and commitment he made to protect and defend he was going to go back and save Annie whether it cost him his job or not. He even convinced his men to help him. Patrick and his men were rescuing more than just Annie but didn’t know it until they went back and retrieved her.  The problem is Patrick realized that Annie meant more to him than just another American who needed to be rescue. The only question is would he realize just what she meant to him before it was too late?

This was a story that had lost of action, sadness, tears, anger, laughter, sarcasm, caring and love. Yes love, not only for each other but for this special secret Annie had. (Sorry not given all the secrets away) This is a great action packed love story and the first in the series.
