GRR Reviews Saved (Honor Bound) by Angel Payne

Saved left me conflicted. While the kink aspects seem to be properly written, the premise, about human traffickers going after military women didn't make sense.

Garrett, a special forces soldier, no longer care whether he lived or died. The love of his life, Sage Weston, was MIA, presumed dead when her medical unit was ambushed in Africa. But one mission in Thailand, where the unit was tasked with the rescue of American women kidnapped by human traffickers lead him to shock of his life: Sage is still alive and rescued. But Garrett is no longer the same. In the dark hours of his soul, he had taken to a BDSM lifestyle that he cannot possibly spoil Sage with, not after her ordeal. But when the human trafficking boss came after Sage and her fellow rescuees again, intending to get revenge, Garrett will discover a new side of Sage that he must take to full advantage to eliminate the threat once and for all.

The kink was properly written, and the military details have no obvious holes in it. The problem is the setup didn't make sense. How did Sage got from Africa all the way over to Thailand? Who pronounced them dead? Why military women who are at least trained with guns and some martial arts, even if they are not soldiers? And how did Garrett and his buddies got so much time off to run off saving Sage again?
