The Missionary by Jack Wilder Review and Giveaway

10/16/2013

The Missionary by Jack WilderI didn’t really want to read it. But I’ve met Jack a few times, and I really like both Jasinda and Jack Wilder. The Missionary by Jack Wilder is so far out of my comfort zone, and a book I thought would totally not be my type. Yet I found myself at 3:00 am with my hand to my heart unable to stop reading, and absolutely engrossed in it.

“Something sharp jabbed into her bicep…she was floating, weightless, unable to move…she couldn’t cry or whimper, but a tear trickled down her cheek…and all went dark.
“My name is Wren Morgan. She focused on that, it was all she had, all she knew”

If you have read Wounded by Jasinda Wilder (One of my favorite books this year – my review) I would say it had a similar feel, with a little more suspense (but don’t worry, there is sex, and Jack writes it well–Jasinda is a lucky lady). The Missionary was a quick read, because honestly, you just can’t put it down. While some parts were hard to read, they NEED to be read, because sex slavery exists around the world. This could have been a depressing book, but I would definitely classify it as more of an edge-of-your seat thrill ride with romance…kind of like the Bourne Identity.

Wren Morgan is a young girl in college. Sweet and fairly innocent, she is heavily involved in her church and had barely left her hometown. She has a crush on Stone Pressfield, a retired Navy Seal who is helping at the church. Stone feels the connection to Wren, but they have such vastly different backgrounds, and he has seen so much death and despair, that he could never sully the beautiful girl with his horrific background.

“He wasn’t a good Christian. He was a soldier, and he believed because he’d seen the truth. He’d experienced death and felt the presence of God. He’d witnessed miracles…
He’d seen the worst in humanity and dealt death to the scum of the earth. He’d also seen true heroism and courage, seen sacrifice and the power of faith…
So yeah, he believed. But his faith was…beyond the narrow field that these kids experienced.”

The church decides to send a mission to Manila in the Philippines to bring awareness to, and help to victims of human and sexual slavery. Stone has been there before. He knows the dangers. He lost his friends there and the full use of his knee. He has a BAD feeling about this mission. He begs the church to cancel. He begs Wren to not go. But they don’t listen.

“You’re coming, right? You can be our security.”
“I guess I am.” Stone pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to ignore the roiling in his belly, the warning bells in his head.”

Wren was adopted and they think she is Filipino, so her reasons for going to Manila were deeper than the rest. She wanted to know her heritage. On the flights over, she and Stone got to know each other more, and the connection deepened. When they got to Manila, as hard as they were working, Stone couldn’t fight the attraction to Wren. She was always there on the edge of his awareness.

“It was as if he was drawn to her by some strange magnetic force”

Even with Stone hovering over them, making sure they never go anywhere without him, the worst happens. Wren is snatched right off the street and disappeared without a trace. Stone knew of the slave organizations with informants and snitches all over Manila. Stone was a large white man who stood out in the poor country. Nobody would risk themselves to help a white man.

So began his search for Wren. Through some of the poorest, dirtiest places in the world. Through a mountain of garbage with shacks and shanties piled on top of each other, through a maze of trash, dirt and hopelessness, looking for any clue about Wren. Through puddles of sewage, clouds of drug fumes and fear, Stone followed leads and suspects.

In the meantime, we see snippets of Wren…locked in a pitch black hole with things crawling on her. They keep shooting her up with heroin and feeding her food that crawls. They kicked her, drugged her and beat her, but they didn’t rape her…yet. They were saving her for the highest bidder. But she held on to hope that Stone would find her.

When he did, it was a race through Manila. Here is where I couldn’t breathe, my hand was on my chest, my heart in my throat. They are literally running for their lives. After days without food and sleep, injured, they have a short rest.

Wren: “Will you kiss me again? Please?…I’m not asking for anything else. Just a kiss.”
Stone: “There is no such thing as ‘just a kiss.'”
“Sure there is”
“Not with me, there’s not.”

“I just…I just want to pretend, even for thirty fucking seconds, that it’s just you and me in a hotel room alone. Nothing else to deal with. Is that so wrong?” She wiped her eyes with both hands. “I just…I want to feel something else.”

“I know we’re both tired and hurt, but…stop holding back. Stop holding out on me” ~ Wren

And then the chase begins again…heart in mouth…edge of my seat, a clear picture in my head of the poor city. This poor couple just can’t catch a break, and there was no way I was going to sleep.

Likes:

  • So beautifully written, it flowed so well, and I felt like I could see everything described perfectly.
  • As edge-of-your-seat thriller it was, the romance and sex came at just the right time so that the horrors of the story don’t overwhelm you.
  • So much of the story was clearly based on fact.
  • It was a fast read, one or two sittings. Much more may have been too much. It was just perfect.
  • Mmmm…Stone was a totally hot, military protective alpha. Yum.
  • A curvy Filipino female lead.
  • A wonderful ending that educated, pulled out every emotion, and made you want to DO SOMETHING!
  • You must read the author note at the end.

Dislikes:

  • My only dislike was in Jack’s disclaimer after the book that he made up how the shanties were interconnected. This isn’t even a dislike, more of a disappointment…it just seemed so real, and almost felt like maybe this creative license shouldn’t have been taken (though it added a lot to the scenes).
  • I’m not a fan of the cover. Are they hairy man legs or dirt?

Rating: 5 stars 4 heat

stars_5Flame_FOUR copyThe Missionary is not for everyone. I just encouraged someone to read it and she had to DNF, but if you look at the amazing ratings, you know that’s rare. It was too much for her. For me (and I am not a fan of dark books), I couldn’t put it down for a second. It was a great change from the books I have been reading, and reminded me more of when I was reading all of the John Grisham books years ago, like The Firm, where you are on the edge of your seat the whole time…just with more sex.

Jack Wilder took what could have been a truly been a difficult read and wrapped it in an unputdownable story.  This is not a genre I want to read a lot, it was a little much for my nerves, but it was an eye-opening, exciting, sexy, raw, educational, thrilling, horrifying, scary trip through Manila that I stayed up all night to read.

    I read this book almost immediately after it was released, and I think your review is spot on. I basically read it in one sitting. It’s certainly not like the usual quickie romance read, but it has such an important message about sex trafficking abroad and here in the United States. Jack’s “HEA” wrapped it up as nicely as could be.

    It dealt with real-life problems. Especially Human Trafficking. The rawness of everything is something someone who wants to read topics not so openly-discussed.

I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a differe I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a different genre and completely nail it. I love how The Girl In The Woods is different from all of her other books, yet still has that Kristen Ashley feel. I loved how Kristen surprised me and didn’t follow the expected formula.
The town of Misted Pines is a bit crazy, but let me tell you, if there is another dead resident, I’ll be gobbling up that story as well. I don’t wish anyone dead but…..

I love the unique storyline of this debut solo nov I love the unique storyline of this debut solo novel from Joe Arden, and I especially love when the narrator narrates their own book and I love male POV books written by an actual male! I had a few issues (which you’ll see in the review), but overall I really enjoyed this one, and it is staying in my memory because it was different.

Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you shou Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you should check out Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot. I loved being behind-the-scenes at a cooking reality show! There is a romance, but it’s way more about the exciting cooking show. The heroine is Jewish and there is a very diverse cast.

I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and it was taking me forever to read, then the audiobook released and I switched over at about 60%. That’s when the book really picked up for me. The new season of Drive to Survive starts on #netflix next week and #formula1 starts the week after. I’m so excited for the new season! I am hoping that more of this series releases on audio soon because I love being in the #F1 world.

Another book I really wanted to love, but it was j Another book I really wanted to love, but it was just OK for me. I did love the heroine’s business of awesome salads in a cup! A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan was not labeled as book 3 in a series, and it was. Though it was able to stand alone, I think I missed a connection because I didn’t read the first two.
