Butcher is singularly devoted to his work. As team leader for the GO-Team, his
unwavering focus is on the mission. Levi knows all too well that one minor
distraction can hold deadly consequences. But with the soothing, sensual voice
of “Babe,” the team’s communication expert, constantly in his ear,
keeping his concentration on the dangerous work at hand is becoming extremely
difficult.

Jina Modell definitely doesn’t feel like a “Babe,” especially when
she’s working with the gruff, no-nonsense Levi. When the base where she’s
stationed is attacked, Jina manages to escape but the rest of the team, working
some distance away, is exfiltrated, thinking Jina died in the explosion-leaving
her stranded. To survive, she’s got to figure out how to get back to safety
before she’s discovered by the enemy.

Levi would never willingly leave a soldier behind, especially a brave woman
whose sweet voice haunts his every thought. Once he discovers Jina is alive,
the tenacious warrior will walk into fire to save this intriguing woman who has
captured his heart.

My Review:

When I
read the book description of ‘The Woman Left Behind’ I was immediately
fascinated and requested the book on Netgalley. I love romantic suspense novels
and this book just sounded really good. So I was super excited to start
reading.
In ‘The
Woman Left Behind’ we meet Jina Modell a ‘geek’ who loves to work with
computers. When Jina’s boss forces her to join one of the GO teams, she isn’t
expecting to be forced to do a lot of physical training, something she isn’t
good in at all. But the one thing Jina never does is quitting. Especially after
she meets her new team leader Levi who seems to want Jina to quit. Now she is
determined to be a part of the team. But being a part of the team also means
she can’t be attracted to Levi, if only she could tell her heart that.
Where to
begin.. I absolutely, definitely, utterly loved and devoured this book!! I
loved it so much that I just couldn’t stop reading! There honestly was nothing
I didn’t love about this book. To begin, I loved the main character Jina. She
isn’t your average female character. Jina is strong, tough and funny and is
able to stand up for herself in the middle of a testosterone filled team. I
really enjoyed reading about her!
Then there
is Levi, he is very mysterious and seems to be this very hard unkind guy. But
from the very beginning it is clear that it’s just the way he has to be as a team
leader and to get the best out of his team. The chemistry between Jina and Levi
is really amazing to read about. I loved them so much.
Time in
‘The Woman Left Behind’ went very fast at times. I think a year and a half past
throughout this book. This normally bothers me a lot and I mostly feel rushed
when that happens. But in this book I didn’t feel rushed at all. Time moving
fast at times just fitted the story.
And last
but definitely not least the suspense in the book.. O boy!! It kept me on the
edge of my seat it was so good. This book made me feel almost every emotion out
there. And I just never wanted the story of Jina and Levi to end. And those
other team members where definitely fun to read about too. Sure there was some
stuff in this book that definitely would never happen in real life, I mean from
being in no physical condition to being some kind of super woman.. How?? But
this didn’t bother me at all. Mostly it just made me feel hopeful that I can
get into shape too. LOL!!
I can’t
believe this is the second book in the GO team series and I haven’t read the first
book. I definitely have to read that one too. ‘The Woman Left Behind’ is
definitely one of my favorite reads of this year and if you ask me everyone has
to read it!!
