Synopsis
Taken hostage by terrorists, an archaeologist must risk everything when a SEAL attempts to rescue her too soon…
Archaeologist Diana Edwards is on a mission to uncover the link between artifact trafficking and terrorism. Just when she’s making progress, she’s kidnapped and forced to work for the very people she’s trying to stop. The nightmare deepens when she discovers the man who arranged her abduction is a terrorist everyone believes to be dead. A team of SEALs is sent in to save her, forcing her to make an impossible choice if she wants to stop looted artifacts from being used to fund brutal attacks across the globe.
Navy SEAL Chris Flyte has one job to do, but the hostage won’t cooperate, endangering him and everyone on his team. After he completes the mission and Diana is safely on American soil, her story of abduction and being forced to dig becomes suspect. But when she shows up on his doorstep saying she’s seen one of her abductors, Chris has to wonder if the archaeologist is lying, or if a terrorist has followed her home.
“Grant’s thrillers never disappoint with her strong characters, masterful plotting, and sharp attention to archaeological detail.” - New York Times Bestselling Author Christina Dodd

What I thought about Trust Me
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this Evidence: Under Fire series
from Rachel Grant, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the follow-up
called Trust Me.
Archeologist Dr. Diana Edwards is working in the
Middle East when she is abducted by the very artifact traffickers she's
been trying to expose. Oh yeah, and there's that secret group that
she's involved with that connects what she's doing with terrorism, so it
isn't long before Diana finds herself in a heap of trouble.
When
the Navy Seals are sent in, the impossible happens and Navy Seal Chris
Flyte must choose to trust Diana in a way that goes against everything
he is as a Navy Seal. I really felt for him in this situation and I
totally wondered what Diana was thinking at that moment. But there is a
connection between Chris and Diana that has him going along with her
crazy plan.
Even though I didn't always like Diana, I did like
the relationship between Chris and Diana which only grows over the
course of the non-stop action in this story of artifact trafficking and
terrorism funding. I really liked the level of action in this book --
people are always in motion and things are happening and I just don't
want to put the book down!
I really enjoyed this story of a very
gutsy archeologist and her quest to protect the artifacts and their
history. It takes the work of many friends and colleagues in many
agencies to help her get out of a very tricky and very dangerous
situation, along with a very competent and attractive Navy Seal. I loved
that they had some real rocky moments in their relationship which added
to this romantic suspense international story. There's a complexity to
the story that I liked as well -- as a reader I felt like I was solving
the mystery of what was going on, right along with the main characters.
So,
great action, complex story, interesting secondary characters and a
satisfying romance. There's a nice setup for the next book, and now I
can't wait for more!
About the Author
USA Today bestselling author Rachel Grant worked for over a decade as a professional archaeologist and mines her experiences for story lines and settings, which are as diverse as excavating a cemetery underneath an historic art museum in San Francisco; surveying an economically depressed coal mining town in Kentucky; and mapping a seventeenth century Spanish and Dutch fort on the island of Sint Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles.
In all her travels and adventures as an archaeologist, Rachel has found many sites and artifacts, but she’s only found one true treasure, her husband, David. They met while working together excavating a four thousand year old site about to be destroyed by the expansion of a sewage treatment plant in Seattle. Despite their romantic first meeting, she has no intention of ever setting a story at a sewage treatment plant.
Rachel Grant lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and children.
