Surviving the plane crash was the easy part.
After losing someone close to her, nurse Joelle Diedrich needs a change of scene. But stepping in as a last-minute medical escort on a prisoner transfer flight results in a bigger one than she bargained for.
Waking in the wreckage of a crash, Joelle swiftly gathers that no one else on the plane was what they seemed. And if she wants to make it out of this alive, she must place her trust in the only survivor who's not trying to kill her: Beck, the convicted murderer who was being transported.
Fleeing with Beck presents more than one danger - not only that of simple survival across treacherous terrain, but by making Joelle a target in a ruthless plot. As the threats multiply and Beck and Joelle grow closer, Joelle has to ask herself just how much she's willing to risk for a man she's just met, and figure out whether Beck will risk the same for her . . .

“Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The Hostage.
Joelle needs a change and finds herself as a medical escort to a prisoner. They have an instant bond and are enjoying the flight when it crashes in the mountains. Then the race for survival begins. But is Beck all he seems, or is something else going on?
I don’t quite know what to say about this book. It was okay. Found it easy enough to read and get through, but it didn’t keep me gripped. I like thrillers and disasters, but the romance was just totally unbelievable as they had only known each other for hours! This is a 2.5 stars rounded up.”
