Variations

This is a love story. This is a story of two damaged people who are looking for themselves and their place in the world. It's a story of betrayal and loss. Marina is not a lily-white virgin. Thug are making money by selling her body. Guilt and loneliness keep her where she is ... until she is rescued by Base Branch Operative Oliver Knight. This book has a lot going for it .... lots of action, violence ... spicy romantic encounters .... solid characters ...and an inspiring story line. This is the first book I've read by this author and I was not disappointed. Variations is great as a stand-alone, in that each of her books has a new set of characters. Although I usually always recommend reading series books in order, I do not feel like there was anything I missed from previous books. Many thanks to the author who furnished a digital ARC.

A somewhat dark, but good read Oliver & his partner Hunter rescue Marina from bad guys who have held her & abused her for over 2 years. She trusts no-one, not even her rescuers. Oliver falls for her but he has his demons too. He will do anything to protect her.... at any price. A good story! Disclosure: I received an advance reader copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.

This is actually only the third or fourth book that I have read in this series and this story gives you action, romance, humor, betrayal, great writing and wonderful characters. Marina had betrayed someone. Oliver wanted to find her and find out what prompted her betrayal. Megan Mitcham's stories are involving, interesting, and so well-written that you feel like you're not in your armchair anymore. There are twists & turns and ups & downs that make it so that you won't want to put this book down. Megan Mitcham just keeps doing what she does best over and over again...she writes a darned good book!
