Review: Diesel by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Diesel by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After a very short turnaround, Diesel finds himself travelling to China to rescue a kidnapped scientist called Eva and as part of that he observes the depths of human depravity. He might have done with kind of work for a decade, but this time he is rescuing someone he finds interesting. Eva Langston was kidnapped while walking across the street and finds herself locked in a lab half a world away with a couple of other scientists who fill her in that there is no chance of escape. However, she refuses to give up hope and keeps her belief that someone will come for her, although when that happens it is not smooth nor is it easy. She is glad to be free but soon realises that freedom is a long way off as one by one the rest of the scientists are picked off until she is the only one left - can she get home in one piece and will she have the chance to explore what is possible between herself and Diesel? Contains some sexual content at the end of the story.

I loved this story which had a great mixture of drama, danger, twists and turns in it. I loved the way that they would start to feel that the worst was over and then something else would happen. I also loved the way that the trust and relationship between Diesel and Eva had to quickly develop even though it was hard to establish as her scientist's brain needed proof before she could believe certain things. I loved the way that it suddenly had a conclusion and who was behind all of the drama they were experiencing as well as the way they worked out that there was something tracking them across the world. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains some explicit sexual content near the end of the story.
