The Captive (Griffin Force #1) by Julie Coulter Bellon *book review*

The Captive (Griffin Force #1) by Julie Coulter Bellon

Commander Jake Williams gets assigned to a special team along with a woman named Mya, to rescue an American diplomat who has been taken hostage.

This is the first book in the Griffin Force series, and I hope there will be several more!

This story has a fast pace plot, great drama, suspense and clean romance. I couldn’t tell who was working together as a team and who was the enemy some of the time. Nothing was predictable or boring.

My 14 year old really enjoyed it as well! We both finished the book in a short time because we were so enthralled with the characters and story line.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

Book Description:
Former Navy SEAL Jake Williams is the newly appointed head of a task force assigned to rescue a kidnapped American diplomat. Their only hope is Mya Amari, the daughter of a notorious Algerian hostage negotiator, but she is full of secrets and complications-something Jake takes as a personal challenge. As they grow closer, the threat to the mission escalates and time runs out for the hostages. Can Jake unravel the web of deception to save them all without getting caught in the crossfire?

Mya Amari has been in hiding nearly her entire life to escape her father’s enemies. But when her sister is kidnapped along with an American diplomat, she’ll do anything to bring her home-including walking into the enemy’s lair. She doesn’t trust anyone, especially the too-handsome-for-his-own-good Commander Williams, but when all her careful plans explode out of control, he’s the only one she can turn to with the truth about her family. Is it too little, too late?
