Review: Save Me from this Book!

I love military suspense. Love, love, love! And this plot sounded like it picks up where the movie "Taken" might've left off: kidnapped girl, sold in human trafficking ring, pregnant, escapes and is rescued by stoic ship's captain.Though the plot had potential in the beginning, it quickly devolved into a boring mess. The "hero" had a horrible perception of women, specifically women in the military, and he came across as a complete jerk. I'm all for a little Alpha behavior, but he had me rooting for a mutiny by the female crew, ending with his butt being kicked overboard! And the heroine didn't give me much to cheer about either. After her gutsy escape from captors, she and her personality just sort of fade away, making it hard to care about her. The end is also frustrating; the threat of her captors returning is harped on throughout the story and then magically disappears with no resolution in like 2 pages. Huh?Seriously, I gave this book as a gift to someone and then warned them not to waste their time after I read it. Just watch "Taken." Liam Neeson's much hotter.
