Emotionally and physically wounded ex-seal Zachariah Tremayne has returned to his South Carolina home determined to shut out the world.

J. Kaye’s Thoughts
I made it to page 256 and decided to call it quits. I should have done so earlier, but so many people I know loved this author. For me, an ADD reader, I can’t take the long drawn out details the book provided. Many of the scenes weren’t needed and what was could have been woven in. Instead, there were long blocks of background information. I skimmed through the first quarter of the book, hoping it would get better. For me, it didn’t and I had to give up.
I’ll pass it on to another viewer. Hopefully one who will appreciate it more than me. This book is the first of the High Risk trilogy, so you’ll be getting in on the ground floor.

Hi J.Kaye, I don't want to be entered-just wanted to say that sorry that you caught a dud of a book. I hate when that happens. I'm not much for the romancy type books.
Oh, but the female lead has such a beautiful name! ;)
Sorry you didn't like this book. I'd be game to try it if I'm lucky enough to win. Thanks!
It's tough to find a book that just isn't that fun for you. I'd love to give Freefall a shot, though.
sorry to hear it wasnt so great.
same thing happened to me recently with a book I was reading, I couldnt even finish it.

I hate it when that happens - when you can't even finish a book. That has happened to me a few times.
The book sounds interesting though - interesting enough that I would love to try it if I win!!!
Thanks everyone! One thing I have learned as you all have, I'm sure, and that's just because I couldn't finish it doesn't mean the next reader will feel the same. :) I'll hang on to that as I pass the book on to another person.
Breeni Books ~ I couldn't agree with you more! :)
