Next time Navy SEAL Osten Scoleri will think twice before volunteer for a ‘small, easy assignment’, because for the next two weeks he was stuck at a high school recruiting students into the Navy.  However, all wasn’t bad when Osten ran into one of the school teachers, the beautiful Ms. Chantoya Jackson.

High school teacher, Chantoya “CJ” Jackson made it a rule to never become romantically involved with anyone she worked with; but, there was something special about Naval Officer Osten Scoleri.  Technically, he was only conducting a two week recruiting assignment at her school – so they really didn’t work together.

As their relationship grew so did the unaware danger that surrounded CJ until she disappeared without a trace.  Will Osten be able to save CJ before it was too late?

Wow!  I found Vittano’s Willow to be an incredible read.  It was swarming with chilling twisters and turns.  Throughout the read, I was biting my nails all keyed up with great anticipation eager to learn the outcome.  The main cast was well-developed, and the secondary characters blended in a good way, making the plot gripping and utterly entertaining. Aliyah Burke did a fantastic job of keeping the villain’s identity hidden until her dramatic revealing.  I was totally shock!  At the introduction, I just knew who the villain was – well I was absolutely wrong!  In addition to the edge of your seat suspense, Vittano’s Willow also contained a mega hot romance.  The courtship between Osten and CJ was spicy, deliciously sweet and very passionate.  I so hated to see this story end.  This is one Joyfully Recommended read that you will not want to miss!
