A solid 3.5-star romance that focuses more on emotional healing and old grudges than the rescue mission.
Jason is a great, complex character - fierce and proud, but deeply scarred by the fact that Kate left him, encouraged by her father who thought his daughter could do better. To make matters worse, his former best friend, Greg, not only married Kate after their divorce but . The tension is incredible since Jason now has to rescue the man who betrayed him so deeply. I also loved how Jason’s reaction to his sister’s romance finally made him realize he was becoming just as judgmental as Kate’s father, which was the growth he needed to finally choose a future with Kate.
In short, it's a compelling read where the emotional stakes are even higher than the ransom demands.
