Five Ways to Surrender

"Big Jake" and his Seal team are on a reconnaissance mission. They are to gather information as to the whereabouts of an ISIS leader and are ordered to NOT engage. Instead, their team is ambushed. In order to ensure his team's safety, Jake puts his life at risk distracting the enemy. With ISIS on his back, he wonders into a village and stumbles across an American-Alex. Realizing he can't leave her for ISIS, they flee the village for the hills. As they trek across the mountains, with ISIS not far behind, they come across an illegal mining operation. Jake takes puctures so that he can pass the information on to those in charge. They finally arrive to the market where Jake is able to contact his team. While Jake and his team work to figure out the connection between the mining operation and ISIS, Alex worries about her missionary friends-vowing to return and rescue them.... Excellent story! Very well written with exciting plot twists and romance to be had! The action had me hooked from the first page. While I've only read two of the novels in this series, this novel is definitely my favorite! I can't wait to read the next Seal story! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own. Wanting to get out and experience the world, Alex leaves her home and fiancé to become an English teacher to a small village in Niger. One day, during the lesson, ISIS storms the village. Alex assists in getting the children safely to the hills, but goes back to assist the missionaries to safety. Instead, she stumbles into Jake.

I enjoyed reading Five Ways to Surrender. Jake is a Navy Seal who has gotten separated from his unit when they were ambushed. Alexandria is a missionary who's village has been attacked by terrorist rebels. When these two meet in the village while under terrorist fire they find themselves working together to reach the rest of Jakes team. The tension levels remain constant as they work to evade the terrorist, but what they find along the way may have them running into more danger just when they thought they were safe. Great romantic suspense read! I received an ARC copy of this book and have chosen to leave a review.

Heart stopping action! I love books by Elle James but for some reason this is the first one of the Mission Six series that I've read; now I must read the others! Alex is working with missionaries in Niger when the village is attacked by ISIS soldiers. She escapes with the help of Navy SEAL Big Jake, who was separated from the rest of his team when their mission went sideways. Alex wants to go back and rescue the missionary couple before something awful happens to them. Five Ways to Surrender is an action-packed story with a strong female lead and a dedicated SEAL who's not afraid to go rogue to help protect her when she gets into trouble. Another suspenseful, sexy book from Ell James! An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
