Against the Odds

Because of a case of mistaken identity Sarah finds herself abducted and being held prisoner by a ruthless mobster. He wants information on property he says belongs to him that he believes she has. Only she does not because she is not who he thinks she is. But she is not about to tell him that and get her best friend into trouble. And she is not any more impressed with the man who has come to rescue her. Will their strong personalities clash too much for them to find freedom before the men chasing them find them?

Readers need to find a seat with a safety belt before delving into this tale. AGAINST THE ODDS starts out action packed and never lets up. Clint’s job is to rescue Sarah off of the island she is being held on. But things get really hairy very soon. The jungle can be a very dangerous place; things that slither, animals, both the four and two legged variety. Not a place or a situation where one would plan on experiencing a physical attraction.

Clint can not stand lippy and yappy women, which is exactly what Sarah is. And Clint is not exactly Sarah’s type either, but the chemistry between these two fairly scorches the pages. Both of these characters are well defined and very believable. Ms Wallace’s pen flows smoothly and richly across the pages, and this reader was hard pressed to put this book down. The detail of our couple’s escapades will leave the reader feeling like they are actually in the jungle with Sarah and Clint. So grab the bug repellent before perusing these pages, the reader will feel like they need it. AGAINST THE ODDS is a wonderful and exciting read that kept this reviewer on the edge of the seat and breathless with anticipation on what will come next and is a highly recommended read.
