It's another typical long day at work for Dr. Alyssa Foster when a prisoner is brought into the infirmary. It doesn't take long for things to go sideways. The guards have been locked up and Alyssa has a chain wrapped around her neck and is being thrown into a getaway car with two escaped convicts. Teague Creek has spent three years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Now he has a hostage he deems essential to his plan. The police are closing in. So is an organization from his past that wants him dead.

Someone recommended this book to me a few years ago and I finally picked it up to give it a try. I have to say I really liked it. The story is mainly romantic suspense with a paranormal element. It is fast paced and was very hard to put down. The romance was believable and I liked both the hero and the heroine. The conspiracy plot was a bit under-developed. But since this is the first book in the series, I'm sure we'll find out more in the next book.

The reviews for this book are all over the place. Many readers are upset by the racial slurs coming from the second escaped con. This character is part of the Aryan Brotherhood and that is what I would expect from someone like that. If the hero would talk like that, I would have thrown the book out. Thankfully, he didn't. I'm looking forward to more books in this series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
