Captive Dove

This book is just what you need on a airplane, after a long day when you want to relax and get away from it all. Great fun!

In Brazil, an apparent radical sect kidnaps ten American tourists. The CIA decide photographer Nova, code name Dove, Blair has the perfect cover to get close and hopefully rescue the hostages. They also assigns fellow agent Joseph Cardone to work closely with Dove as they have succeeded twice before on missions. Dove does not want to work with Joseph not because of any issues from their professional teaming. Her reasons are personal as they were lovers until she panicked over her feelings for him and left him without an apparent look back. Joseph wants to know why and whether she suffers regrets, but first they must complete the rescue mission that soon turns into something more conspiratorial and global before they can deal with their personal issues. CAPTIVE DOVE is a fast-paced romantic suspense thriller that takes off once Nova and Joseph head to Manaus, Brazil and never slows down as they soon switch from a local hostage rescue mission to a major potentially lethal global incident. The story line is filled with action in an area in which isolation is the norm as the only road in and out of the rainforest heads north to Venezuela. Though the spin into saving the world is a stretch, fans will appreciate Judith Leon's fun tale as they wonder whether the lead will survive and if so together. Harriet Klausner
