Off the Rails by Jill Sorenson

Lots of action and drama make this novel fast moving and interesting. I enjoyed the south of the border setting and the way its beauty was expressed along with its challenges. While Ian was sort of a hard character with everything locked down tight, Maria was all openness and naivete. She was the light to his dark and the hope he was lacking. He was desperate for her and yet desperate to keep her safe by sending her away from him. Maria turned out to be more stubborn than he realized and determined to help him. The two of them set off across the country in an effort to save two endangered teens while dodging corrupt officials and cartels. They had a sweet passion, and both had protective natures that played out as they traveled along the dangerous migrant railway following the teens.

Maria was my favorite part of this story. Her innocence and optimism despite her traumatic past was refreshing.

I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
