Captured In Croatia by Christine Edwards - BLOG STOP & REVIEW




Captured in Croatia by Christine Edwards

Description:





Corporate spy Carew Sloan is sent to Zagreb, Croatia, to retrieve information for a private intelligence agency. Carew’s beauty and talent for computer decryption make her the natural choice for this sensitive mission. After charming her mark, Vasilije Juric, in one of Zagreb’s swanky dance clubs, Carew finds herself in Juric’s bedroom. It will take only a moment to gather the information she was sent for and make her escape. Or so she thinks.

Unfortunately for Carew, Juric has a keen-eyed bodyguard, Zoran, who pegged her instantly as trouble. After a high speed chase, he retrieves Carew from her wrecked car. Rather than turn the stunning spy over to his merciless boss, Zoran takes matters into his own hands and keeps the girl … as his captive. Zoran’s keen intelligence, striking features, and powerful physique prove hard to resist, and soon their mutual hostility takes a backseat to the torrent of lust neither can deny.

Will Carew follow her heart, even it means losing her livelihood? What other dangers await them both beyond Zoran's lair?



 

This book has it all including steamy romance and intrigue.  The book flowed so smoothly and was so engrossing I didn't want to put it down.

The books starts off in the middle of a car chase - Carew is being chased by Zoran and has a horrific wreck.  Rewind a little bit and we find out that Carew is a cryptographer working for an elite group of investigators, occasionally she takes a field assignment when her expertise is needed.  She likes the danger that the spy game presents.

Everything was going according to plan until she meets the body guard of the target.  It is apparent at their first meeting that the chemistry they share is recognized by them both.  Something about her puts Zoran on edge and he's keeping a close eye on her.  After she's knocked out the target and absconds with some plans for a computer program he is hot on her trail.

Fastforward back to the crash - Zoran cuts her out of the car and takes her back to his home hidden deep in the Croatian forests.  Zoran's home is very secure to put it mildly.  He convinces his boss, the target, that Carew was killed in the accident.  You might be asking yourself why he would do that.  He plans on teaching her how to respect and obey him after she tells him what she was really doing.

Carew is not the pushover that Zoran thinks she is and she gives him a run for his money.  The battle of wills between the two is epic.  As Carew gets to know Zoran, she understands that he isn't quite what he appears to be.  Carew can't help but fall a little in love with Zoran.  The story comes to a climax when Zoran's boss, the target, realizes that Zoran lied about Carew's death.  You'll have to read the book if you want more details.

The author did a great job blending the romance and intrigue aspects of the story.  The character development and the surrounding story lines made the story that much more enjoyable.  I can't wait to read the rest of Christine's books.
