There is always a reason we choose to read a certain book. Someone recommends it. The cover is amazing. A series you've started. But for this one...It was all in the blurb/synopsis that I just couldn't walk away!A very excited 4.5 ***** from The Sassy Bookista!!**This book was originally released in March 2014.  The author decided to make the book an extended version.  This is the version I read.  I won't go into detail as I hate giving away the intricacies that make the book one you can't put down!I HAD to read this book!  What an amazing scenario!  A true 'chance meeting' if you will.  The whole idea was truly intriguing. The whole idea of this book pulled me in with such force that I had no choice but to read it.  there will be MORE!  A recipe for greatness and it did not disappoint.  Many other reviews have said that it left them bereft or unfulfilled whereas I thought it was packed full of suspense, romance andan air of mystery.Patrick Walsh is a US Navy SEAL.  He and his buddies have a code and conduct shared among them that only a few  can understand.  They have a pride that comes knowing that they always get the job done.  And when he finds a mission in rescuing someone from a brothel, he lets nothing stand in his way.  He can't stop thinking about her and at times I definitely saw a softer side.  A softer side brought out only by Annie.  At times it's almost romantic.  So much of his life is spent away at sea or on missions but after meeting and getting to know Annie he finds himself not wanting to return to work.  He only wants to protect Annie and her secret."It didn't matter that rescuing her wasn't an official mission.  She was my mission."Annie Hamilton is one heroine I won't soon forget, she wasn't like the full-of-fight characters that I normally read.  She was beaten down by the heroine they made her shoot up and by the many men who bought her night after night.  And for her one secret she would do anything to protect.  Annie was named by her captors 'Star'.  It was difficult to read of how Annie was treated and the demands that were constantly given to her.  After meeting Pat, she felt she finally had hope.  After 5 years she was getting rescued.  And although not one to be risky, she took a chance and that's when the real story begins."I tried to speak but I had lost my voice...tears stained my cheeks.  I didn't want to come down from this high, and for once I wasn't talking about heroine, I was talking about the high of hope."I read this book in one sitting.  Many books ebb and flow but Invincible just...flowed.  Clipped along at a really great pace.  I couldn't stopswiping page!  Being told in dual POV really helped.  Knowing what's going through in his mind at the same time knowing what's going on in hers.  As the book progresses, there is a never-ending weave of intricacies.  Every minute detail is for a reason and leaves nothing out.  And all the emotions I felt from all the moments...there are many moments!  There are moments true friendship and brotherhood, moments of sheer surprise, moments of utter disgust, moments that are sexy and intimate, moment that forge bonds, and moments that keep you on the edge of your seat.  This book really does have something for everyone!  The secondary characters found in his SEAL brothers are soundly written.  They have his back no matter what.  One last side note.  Get the anthology, Breakaway.  Read Invaluable by this author!  It's Kyle Lawson's story.  And although it leaves you with a cliffhanger... You won't be disappointed!
