Ripe For Reader: Release Blitz & Review - HER MERCENARY by Amanda McKinney

Her Mercenary by Amanda McKinney is live!

She was supposed to be the mission. She became his undoing.

When American schoolteacher Samantha Greene goes missing in Mexico, the US government calls on private military firm, Astor Stone Inc., to assist in finding her. Former soldier Roman Thieves volunteers for the case, seizing the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. After-all, no one knows the dark underworld of human trafficking like he does—or knows exactly how involved he is in their business dealings.

When the mission falls apart, Roman finds himself on the run with the blonde-haired, green-eyed bombshell, seeking refuge in the untamed wilderness of the Sierra Madre Mountains—on a trail rumored to be haunted, nonetheless. With only a small bag of provisions, they must battle the elements, including scorching hot temperatures, and work together to outsmart the savage predators hunting them.

As his motives become clouded by a fierce need to protect Sam, Roman must choose between avenging his past and saving the woman who snuck her way into his heart.

Each book is a standalone Romantic Suspense, no cliffhangers.

4 Stars

This was my first read of Ms McKinney's work. I seem to be drawn to the romantic suspense stories and she did not disappoint. It was a fast paced adventure with many twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. Never really knowing who you can trust and who is on the wrong side.

Roman is here for the job as well as here for his own personal vendetta. Somehow he has been able to weave his way into the middle of the biggest human trafficking ring all in the attempt to get to the leader and take things down. It's believed that this woman he is trying to get to safety can help him to avenge his mother and her loss. He wasn't prepared for the feelings she draws from him.

Samantha just wants her boring repetitive life back. How did she end up here, what did she do wrong? Though she has been locked up by these evil people she has been spared for some reason. Sadly watching women come and go, understanding what they have gone through while away. Holding strong and trying to find a way out. When your mind decides that being owned by one might be better than the hell you are in now. Will she be able to continue to be strong and fight for freedom?

Can Roman complete his end game and keep his heart cold as ice? Will they save Samantha and the others?
