Survivor by Nicole Blanchard
3.0
3.5/5
Can I say I was emotionally caught up in the beginning of the story? Yet, another second chance story and I actually enjoyed it. Not my top favorite but I love what Nicole did with Jack and Sofie.
From the very beginning, I didn't understand what was going on and when their past was told I was curious to see what tore them apart and what would happen in the present. Survivor did not disappoint in the realm of mystery and there were a couple of twists I didn't see coming, yay!
We first meet Jack and Sofie as strangers to another. Sofie left years ago due to tragedy and what brings her back is a tragedy. However, it's also what makes her stay. When they were first together Jack is coming back from boot camp (Marine) and Sofie and his family are waiting for his arrival at the airport. Their introduction as a couple was sweet and short and made you understand how deep their love was for another. Then, tragedy strikes and Sofie leaves.
Without giving too much away, I loved how Nicole was able to intertwine present with the past and still be cohesive. Now, do I have closure for everything that occurs? Mostly, I still have some unanswered questions, but it's like an 'eh whatever' deal for me.
It comes full circle for Jack and Sofie as they are the focal point of this book and I'm glad Nicole didn't muddle it down with unrelated details that steered from them.
I flew through this and I didn't think I would. I didn't read the first book in the series, so I had no expectations. Luckily all the titles are standalone reads, so you're not missing a beat if you just want to pick and choose.
If you want some hot Marine in your life who is as sweet as pie and a girl who realizes she is strong and head over heels for her man, then this is it. I would recommend this for a quick read.
**I received this book from the author in exchanged for a honest review.**
