"Surrender at Dawn" by Laura Griffin is a very short story that has some substance to it, but has an unsatisfying ending and a plot that isn't that believable. It does, however, keep the reader interested enough to finish the story.Jack is a former Navy SEAL who is approached by a beautiful woman named Charlotte who is looking for someone to fly her to a nearby island not far from Thailand. Charlotte's brother is being held hostage there and she wants Jack to help her rescue him. The island is Ko Aroon, and Jack immediately lets Charlotte know that he isn't going their and neither is she although he has the plane to fly. It is just too dangerous to go there. After a while, they do make their way under cover of darkness and what her brother is there for isn't what Charlotte expected.There is romance in the story and the mystery of Charlotte's brother and why he has been kidnapped add to the suspense of it all. The story is very short, and the ending wasn't what I expected. It's still an entertaining story when you have a few minutes to read something short.
