Review of Invisible: An Alpha Company Military Romance by Beth Abbott

Invisible: An Alpha Company Military Romance by Beth Abbott

~ Synopsis ~

Ellen Thomas knows that if she’s to have a hope of staying alive, she has to remain Invisible.

Ever since the night a man died trying to protect Ellen and her father from a London gangster, she’s been on the run. In an attempt to stop herself being discovered, she’s done everything she can to stay off the grid. She’s left her family and friends behind and moved halfway across the country, changed her appearance and given up everything and everyone she knew and loved just to stay alive.

But will it ever be enough?

Luke Roberts has finally left a distinguished career in the British army behind him, and joined with his former team-mates to start Alpha Company Security, fulfilling the dream the four men have shared for years. But he won’t be able to rest until he finds out who murdered his twin brother and why. 

The police claim Casey was part of a notorious London gang, but Luke is convinced that his brother would never have worked for criminals. He suspects that Casey was working undercover, but can’t get anybody to confirm it, at least not whilst it could harm an ongoing investigation.

He's spent three years trying to track down the one person who might be able to tell him what happened to his brother that night, but she may as well be a ghost.

And if he finds her, will he discover the truth? Or will he get a lot more than he bargained for?


This is Book One in The Alpha Company Women Series.



~ Review ~


I really liked this book! Ellen's father, David, was in bed with a ring of criminals and gathering intel for the police so they could bring George Drayton's crime ring down. One night David made a stop to George's house when the henchmen stumble upon them, and their lives are forever changed. A handsome stranger comes to their aid, but he is killed in the process. Now Ellen is on the run from the gang and has been living her life as invisible as possible. She colors her hair and wears colored contacts and glasses to disguise her beautiful appearance. She's living in a small town, flying under the radar when HE comes along, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Moody! 

Luke is searching for a missing girl that's tied to his brother's death. He just knows his brother couldn't be tied to the gang of criminals. He was one of the good guys. She holds the answers he seeks to clear his brother's name and to put away the criminals that caused his brother's death. When his search leads him to a small town and a very intriguing waitress named Ellen, sparks fly! What will he do when he learns Ellen is the girl he seeks? Will she come forward to clear his brother's name, or will his gruff behavior cost him everything?

The characters in this book were well flushed out, You get their back story to really know who they are and where they're coming from. I like the humor and the relationship between Ellen and her best friend Suzy. Suzy is a real spitfire, and these two ladies are a ball together. Toss in a handful of hunky men and a couple of great parents, and you have a wonderful tale. The books is fast paced with a lot of romance and action. The plot just flowed great. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you on your toes. This is the first book in the Alpha Company Women series. I will definitely be reading more from this author!
