Everytime you look at it, know that I’m working on extracting you. You aren’t invisible – you’re invincible. I know you’re alive. I know your name. You’ve survived this long and I won’t let you down.”From the moment I began reading Invincible, this book sucked met in and captivated me to the point I could not put it down and read the book entirely in one sitting, something that very rarely happens. I really. Invincible is a really great story that is written in the 1st POV of Patrick “Pat” Walsh, a US Navy SEAL. While on a few days leave, his first stop is a Curaco whore house, he doesn’t want to have to deal with drunk young females, just wants to pay for what he wants and get out there. He chooses a brunette, Star, that he later notices has a strange tattoo and a scar on her shoulder. Just as he is about to leave, Star whispers in his ear her real name and that she is an American that was kidnapped five years ago.You’re my last hope. Please save me”Five years ago Annie Hamilton was a young eighteen year old girl on a cruise with her boyfriend against her father’s wishes and decided one night after drinking heaving to go to the upper deck to take some pictures of the sunset. That was the last time she was ever seen by anyone. Believed to be overboard, possibly thanks to her boyfriend, the hope of ever finding her was pretty much gone. But To Pat’s surprise, thanks to those interesting details he had noticed the previous night, he has confirmed that she is who she says she is and now he must find a way to save her, but going through the proper channels will take months and she may not have that, as fast as she disappeared five years ago, it can happen again.I really enjoy the characters in this story. Annie was such a strong women, to survive living in those conditions for five years, being forced to have sex with men and still come out a sane person. I loved how her past help define who she became, that she didn’t try to erase the horrific past, just didn’t dwell on it and was thankful she survived and able to move on with her life. This could of broken her completely, instead it made her stronger, stronger than most.”My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked dow, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission”I really love Patrick, he was the typical hard core Navy Seal, dedicate, loyal, his team was his family, his brothers. But he was caring, and gentle with Annie, putting her and her needs before his own and eventually letting her knock down those walls he built around his heart and allowing her in, loving her but also loving himself enough to allow him to let someone love him.This was a really great story, it was heartbreaking knowing what she went through, and yet so very heartwarming and touching to see what lengths he went to save her, from her captures as well as those that truly didn’t care enough about her. It was a very quick read, I wished it had been longer , and got to see more of them but hoping with the two other books the author is planning on, Kyle’s story and Annie’s POV we will get to see more of them and see where their relationship will go from here. What can I say, I am a HEA kind of girl but I also need my epilogue, I need to see further down the road and hope we will get that with the coming books.
