About this eBook

On the precipice of change … Just not the way he’d expected …

Kerrick is tagged to join a new elite group, where he’d have more say and less rules on missions. Working mostly alone, he’s to track down a kidnapped victim suspected of being in England, and likely she’s not the only one. This is his kind of job; finding out a longtime friend is his backup makes this mission a go.

Amanda is snatched at the end of her workday while walking to her vehicle. Days later she wakes to find she’s imprisoned, alone in a small cement cell. One rotting meal a day is provided, and that is it. Once she realizes someone else is here–a young boy—she’s even more determined to escape. And to take him with her. Running into Kerrick wasn’t the plan …

Escaping is only one part of the puzzle as the truth drags them to Europe and beyond as they sort out how the two kidnappings are related, who’s behind it all and why … Before they are run aground and imprisoned all over again …

Ratings and reviews

Read it because it was raining and I was bored. Highly unimpressed. Dont waste your time. A more than usually contrived storyline. More effort was put into the descriptions of fast food consumed than developing characters or action. A number of factual errors (you do not drive off a ferry from France anywhere near Liverpool and US style motels with external stairways are virtually unknown in UK) and it read like author made up explanations to fit the emerging action, rather than having a plot.

This is book one in The Mavericks series and we start with Kerrick and Amanda. He’s been sent to rescue kidnapped Dr. Amanda Berg, who is thought to have possibly come up with a cure for certain types of cancer. The action and suspense are fantastic. The rescue plans, escape plans and the following adventure are probably a little too detailed but still exciting. The romance is slow building in the background, which is nice for a change. This author definitely knows how to keep the action in the forefront. I am loving this new series! The characters are fantastic and the story lines are exciting, packed with action, adventure and finally a little romance. I can’t wait to see what’s next!

New series and it shoots out of the gate running. Kerrick (and what a cool name) is at a crossroads with his Military career when a old friend (?) reaches out asking for his help and enlisting him in a black ops group. He is to rescue a brilliant research scientist, Amanda. Kerrick has some help from Griffin on the rescue mission and find that Amanda was in the process of rescuing herself as well as another captive, Brandon, a 10 year old boy. Amanda and Brandon are both MENSA. Brandon was hoot and helped relieve some of the tension throughout the book. This book was entertaining, but one you need to read and pay attention with all the twist and turns. It provided suspense, intrigue and romance and definitely lit a spark for this series. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions. Thank you for the arc!
