Time to Run
by Marliss Melton
Sara Garrett's life is made a living hell by her husband, U.S. Navy JAG Captain Bartholomew
Garrett. His controlling attitude bleeds over to the treatment of their ten year old son,
Kendel. With each passing day his mental abuse intensifies to the point of emotional
cruelty. Fearing for her and Kendal's safety she knows she must find a way to break free
of Bartholomew's iron grip. Salvation comes in the form of Chief Petty Officer Chase McCaffrey.
She meets him one day while she is waiting for her husband to finish his work day. He asks
her to deliver a package to one of the other officers. When he calls to confirm the
package's delivery, she begs for his help to be free.
Chase's heart goes out to Sara and her dilemma; Bartholomew's treatment of her and her son
Kendal sickens him. He readily agrees to help her plot an escape route to freedom. The
trio's plan unfolds and they are able to flee to the safety of Chase's ranch in Oklahoma.
He arranges for them to obtain new identities and hopefully a new lease on life. What he
doesn't anticipate is the closeness he feels for Sara and Kendal. It is as though he has
been gifted with his own family. The newfound love is short lived, for Bartholomew's presence
is lurking in the background. Evil is watching for the perfect opportunity to succeed at
destroying all that is good.
Marliss Melton is the Queen of Romantic Suspense! She has quickly
become one of my all time favorite authors. With every book I read,
I grow more in love with her writing style. What sets her writing
apart from others is her unique ability to masterfully craft characters
with a true to life gritty appeal. Her superb writing talent guarantees
readers a high action packed page turner. Very highly recommended. |
