Forced Disappearance

Dana Marton2014
A gripping, fast-paced novel of romantic suspense from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Dana Marton. When wealthy American businessman Glenn Danning goes missing in Venezuela, investigator Miranda Soto volunteers to track him down. It's her first assignment for the Civilian Personnel Recovery Unit, but this mission is about more than salvaging the remnants of her shattered military career. Glenn was Miranda's best friend and first lover, and she'll do anything to save him from danger...especially since she just lost everything that mattered to her. Glenn barely survived being kidnapped and tortured as a suspected spy, but the shock of seeing Miranda again gives him a new lease on life. Their still-simmering attraction grows hotter as the couple races through the treacherous jungle. Determined to reach safe ground, they must stay alive long enough to stop the terrifying enemy who still hunts Glenn. And even if they survive, Miranda's dark past could jeopardize their future together....

Former career military officer, Miranda Soto's first mission for the Civilian Personnel Recovery Unit is her first love, Glenn Danning. After being tortured for months, Glenn escapes captivity and is on his way out of Venezuela, when Miranda finds him, but now they are both in the jungle and as suspected spies, are on the run from the military police. Their time together rekindles their attraction for one another, but secrets from their past threaten to derail their budding relationship.

Forced Disappearance contains both strengths and weaknesses as a romantic suspense novel. It is tricky to balance romance and realism during a run through the jungle, and there are some aspects in this book that are not plausible. Due to the length of the novel, chunks seem glossed over or left out all together, causing unnatural time jumps, and the character development is thin. However, the torture scenes at the beginning are engrossing, and the ending of the book is very sweet. Overall, Forced Disappearance is a good introduction to the Civilian Personnel Recovery Unit series, but with more length, it could have been outstanding.
