Escape from Devil's Den by Bonnie Vanak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Suspenseful, exciting, and satisfying second chance romance!

Escape from Devil's Den is a new romantic suspense novel by author Bonnie Vanak that features an FBI special agent on a dangerous undercover mission and a second chance at love story. With its tense and, at times, desperate plot and an estranged couple that never should have split up to begin with, I was rooting for their reunion every step of the way.

Kara Wilmington is hurt and confused by her fiancé, Jace Bennett, who loves riding his motorcycle and refuses to give up the bike for a life with her. Jace is heartbroken when they call off their engagement, unable to find a middle ground. Still, he won't back down, either. Both are hardheaded and proud, the truth behind their underlying backstories hidden from each other.

Both Kara and Jace must dig deep inside to cooperate when they are unexpectedly thrown together when her business is targeted by the dangerous Devil's Patrol Motorcycle Club. Unbeknownst to her, he's an FBI special agent who's secretly infiltrated the club to bring down the person pulling their strings. Under pressure and desperate to locate her young cousin, Dylan, who has the jewels the club has stolen from her business, Kara must overcome her fear of motorcycles in favor of saving his life and maybe her own. Kara proves over and over she is more than a match for Jace in the courage department. I enjoyed her repeated refusals to stay out of harm's way, her stealthy foray into the heart of the Devil's Den, and her mother's matter-of-fact acceptance of Jace back into the family.

The couple's passion for each other has not subsided while they've been apart, so there is a constant sexual tension between the two, underlying the hurt, whenever they meet. There is a tense but entertaining fake âhookupâ scene to throw off the suspicions of the club's second-in-command early in the story that I really enjoyed. I was compelled to keep reading to see if, when, and how these two meant-to-be lovers would reconcile.

I recommend ESCAPE FROM DEVIL'S DEN to readers who enjoy romantic suspense and second-chance romances.
