Book Review: Trapped - Amanda Lance
Synopsis: On the way to investigate a fugitive sighting, 21-year-old news intern Aubrey Kent is injured when an unexpected storm destroys the newscopter—along with the rest of the crew. Now, stranded in the Canadian wilderness and on the brink of death, Aubrey is rescued by a handsome stranger whose cold disposition is as frightening as the remote cabin in which he lives. With no way to reach civilization before spring, Aubrey becomes Jack Gordon’s unwanted roommate. Her hope for rescue is much more desperate when she sees his hostile attitude and violent behavior. Aubrey and Jack wait out the winter, they grow closer—their delicate friendship blooming into feelings neither of them could have anticipated. But the weather and the wolves aren’t the only dangers in the mountains. As Aubrey uncovers the reason for Jack’s self-imposed isolation, she realizes she’s closer to the story than she imagined—a story that might cost her life.
My Rating: ★★★★★
My Review:
Oh my goodness! What a read!! This is a must read for anyone that enjoys a little romance mixed in with some suspense. I was hooked into this book from the beginning and just couldn’t put it down. This book has all sorts of emotions throughout. This book was not written full of fluff, flowers, and forever after.
Once you delve into the story and see the background history of the characters you get to know who they are and why they react and act like they do. You can see the pain that the characters are going through and what they faced in their past. At times, I just wanted to smack Jack for his bad attitude but I also know this is what makes him such a sweet and likeable character. Aubrey is very strong headed and has such compassion and heart. She is determined and willing to face whatever she has to in order to survive.
The ending was heart wrenching yet was a great conclusion. It leaves the door open for more. I hope there is a book 2 as I would like to see what plays out next. This book was entertaining and kept me on my toes. There were twists and turns in the book that I didn’t expect that added to the suspense.
