Time to Run (Navy SEALs, Book 3)

Time to Run - Marliss Melton Wife of JAG lawyer runs away from her controlling husband with their 10-yr-old son after he chokes their son's pet rabbit in anger. She asked Navy SEAL sniper to take them with him when he drives out to Oklahoma. He at first refused but later helps them run away. Both eventually have an affair even knowing that hero just re-enlisted 4 more years in the service & heroine's husband is actively looking for her & their son.

This Melton book was just ok. The action-suspense part was tame & predictable. The romance & sexual chemistry was ok. Heroine was weak & passive-aggressive. She'd rather deceive, runaway, & cheat on her husband than face him directly about his controlling & emotionally abusive ways or just divorce him. Hero wasn't any better either, getting emotionally & sexually involved with an unhappily married woman.

Partial recommendation only.
