It’s taken me far longer to read and review this short than it should have, but I think that delaying the read actually made this short ‘prequel’ to the series far more meaningful to me. In this short, Almeida and Aubrey introduce us to Conor and Maeve, parents of Trevor, a lead character in the series. We are provided a glimpse into those few hours before they disappear without a trace, leaving Trevor with a colossal mystery that weighs on his heart and is the impetus for many of his choices to ...more

Conner and Maeve had been married a long time and they loved their home life in Dublin. However all of this is about to change forever. They agreed this is best for the son Trevor, but they can’t ignore the pain this decision will cause.

Chris Almeida and Cecilia Aubrey have written a very intriguing start to their series, with this short story. Readers will be captivated and anxious to figure out what the motive is that caused such a drastic decision from the main characters. Even though it is a ...more

okay....it was free...I had a day to do nothing but one click at Amazon...so out of like 20 books I downloaded, this was the first one I read of all those freebies....I would say a good 75 percent of the free reads I get, by the end of chapter 1 are gone....but this one felt lucky to me, so I got nice and comfy in my recliner and started.
I was not very far in, when I noticed that I was no longer reclining, my feet were on the floor and my pulse was beating a bit faster than normal...
A short read ...more

In the short prequel to COUNTERMEASURE, love is the utmost cardinal emotion and shines brightly as Conor and Maeve Brennan struggle with a life changing decision. In this glimpse into the hearts of the Brennans, you will see the strength of a love unlike any other--a love that transcends right and wrong. A love that remains unchallenged to this day.

In this glimpse into the hearts of the Brennans, you will see the strength of a love unlike any other--a love that transcends right and wrong. A love that remains unchallenged to this day.

During the opening scene of Countermeasures I found myself caught up in a storm. The waves of a super storm that was to become one of my favorite series. We meet Trevor’s parents in a dire situation then they are gone, leaving us with questions and concerns. Just like Trevor we want to know the why of it? We stress right along with Trevor and follow the adventures of Cassie and Trevor in hopes of finding out what happened to them and why.
Uncharted gives us a hint of what Trevor’s parents were up to in the days leading to their disappearance. We see a very well established relationship, a relationship that Trevor uses as a model with Cassie. His parents had a well founded, deep rooted love of family. They show their love for their child by leaving, a huge painful sacrifice for them all. We get a glimpse of this strong parent-child relationship and the personalities that help mold Trevor into the man he is today. The unanswered questions they leave us with are the same ones that we have wanted answered from the beginning of the series. In this case this it is completely founded because this is a prequel. Chris & Cecilia also drop hints as to the future of the couple. I have the feeling that we will be seeing them soon enough in the series and we will have all our questions answered.

Shelves: romantic-suspense, 2013

Uncharted is the prequel to Countermeasure and a must read whether you have or have not read Countermeasure yet. Check out this freebie because it will snag your attention and hook you into the rest of the series or provide you with more knowledge about Trevor Bauer's parents and what they are feeling regarding what they are about to do, and thus, providing us even more curiosity into Trevor's quest in the Countermeasure series. Sounds vague, right? Well, it is, but also helps understand things ...more
