Everglades Escape

GIVEAWAY

TAILER, KATHLEEN

EVERGLADES ESCAPE

Pursued by a drug ring, she depends on a stranger to survive.

US marshal Whitney Johnson's peaceful vacation explodes when drug dealers interrupt her wildlife tour and she overhears information that could destroy their operation. After a daring escape, she washes up on a remote island. Reclusive scientist Theo Roberts didn't expect danger on his doorstep, but he'll help Whitney face it. With killers edging closer, will a route through the Everglades lead to safety -- or end their lives?

My Review:

Sometimes an opening line just grabs my attention and this one sure did. "The first bullet hit the wood mere inches from Whitney Johnson's head and sent splinters all over her face and hair."  That right there convinced me that Everglades Escape had to be my next Love Inspired Suspense read (and I had seven to choose from!) 

I had a love/hate relationship with the setting because...snakes and alligators -- eeeek! But, it's not my usual fictional destination so I tried to tamp down my phobias and 'enjoy' the adventurous scenery (while dodging bullets and a villainous drug lord's henchmen.)

Action packed, with a steady pace, Tailer still leaves time for readers to get to know the hero and heroine -- and for the romance to s-l-o-w-l-y develop. I love when there's a balance like that because I'm a die-hard romance fan but it also makes the suspense edgier because I'm always bracing for the next BAM moment, never certain when it will come.

Whitney's a great kick-butt heroine with enough defense moves to put Sidney Bristo (TV show Alias) to shame. And that all important first meet is a hilarious example of why you never want to get on Whitney's bad side. :-) And Theo -- be still my heart! A glasses wearing nerdy type with a heartbreaking past and more than a few surprises up his sleeve. Eeeep -- these two are dynamite together and I loved every tumultuous moment of their happily ever after journey!
