The Hostage by Melinda Di Lorenzo

Riveting Read – Could Not put it down!

What I liked:
* Joelle Diedrich: RN, prison nurse, substitute medical escort for prisoner transfer, intelligent, giving, caring, capable, grieving, willing to do what it takes…someone I would like to have as a friend
* Beck Samson: prisoner, convicted of murder, being transported, keeping secrets, has a plan, intelligent, protective, intriguing, perfect with and for Joelle
* The writing, pace, and plot
* The way I was swept into the story and felt I was there with Joelle and Beck as they ran for their lives
* The twists, turns, and surprises
* Not knowing who to trust
* That there were surprises even though I read the end out of sequence
* The mountainous terrain
* Beck’s survival background and how he learned what he knew
* Watching the relationship develop between Beck and Joelle
* Wondering how it would all play out
* Thinking about what I would be willing to or not willing to do if I found myself in the shoes of Beck or Joelle
* Reading a new-to-me author that I enjoyed
* All of it except…

What I didn’t like:
* Exactly what I and who I was meant not to like
* Thinking about all that the main characters endured…

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Definitiely

Thank you to NetGalley and Headline Eternal for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Loved this story! Beth and Parker have strong chemistry and that, along with their verbal sparring kept me glued to the pages. Parker initially comes across as arrogant and chauvinistic with his boasting that he could train any woman to be a good wife, but we soon see that he has a soft side and he is almost endearing in his pursuit of Beth. There were several parts that had me chuckling aloud. A great book all around and definitely a must-read.
