Christmas Hostage

Christmas Hostage

Rescuing an innocent hostage could blow an agent's cover

Taken hostage by bank robbers on Christmas, security expert Laura Devin suspects one of the thieves is not who he appears to be. When the danger heightened after Laura sees the leader's face, undercover FBI agent Hollis Pryce is forced to flow his cover to free her. He'll risk everything to assist her escape from the Montana mountains and the criminal mastermind hunting them...

My Review:

"Even before the shouting and the woman's scream, Laura Devin sensed that something was wrong in the lobby of First Federal Bank." 

An attention grabbing opening sentence if ever there was one! Cue the ominous music and be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat for the duration of the read because the tension never lets up. Heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping, gasp-out-louding all the way through. 

Definitely a meet-cute worthy of regaling future grandchildren with. lol The romance is just as intense as the suspense in this everything-happens-at-the-speed-of-light story. Hollis and Laura's harrowing escape, crashing through the wilderness in frigid temperatures was one of my reading highlights. Yet, even when they finally make it back to civilization they aren't in the clear...the danger only increases. 

Phew, this one left me breathless. The only thing missing was Christmas. It's in the title, and there's a reference to a Christmas tree in the bank lobby in the first scene and a Christmas setting in the last (very short) chapter but no other festivities in sight, so I wouldn't call this a holiday read. Definitely an escape read though. :-)
