From USA Today Bestselling author KL Donn comes Nowhere to Run, book 3 in her military romance series, Task Force 779. Nightmares and monsters are supposed to remain in the dark. Thought of, frightened from, but never seen. Lola Bishop has suffered more tragedy in her short time on this earth than most have in an entire lifetime. She lost her parents when she was young, consoled the members of … her parents when she was young, consoled the members of her brother’s elite team when they thought a member was dead, and finally found her best friend’s body.
How much more could she possibly take?
Theo Burkhart excels at all he tries. Most sought after recon sniper in the Marines, he joined Task Force 779 with his best friend to become a part of something bigger. He wanted to make an impact on the world.
Not fall in love with his commander’s little sister.
When he gets the call that Lola needs him, Theo drops everything to be at her side. She’s strong, yet fragile in so many ways. The girl he’s loved for years is begging to find the good in the world, and he’s only too happy to help.
The only question is, will it be enough when one more obstacle is thrown their way or will Lola crack for good this time?
Just a heads up: While my stories carry their share of violence and adult situations, this one, in particular, touches on some socially prevalent issues that may be upsetting to readers.

After the death of her parents the one constant in Lola’s life was her brother and if he couldn’t be there then one of his teammates would be. When Lola is left devastated once again, she is once again trying to pick up the pieces and the one person she really needs is Theo.
When Lola needs someone there is was never any doubt that Theo wanted to be that person for her. He has tried to deny his feelings for her out of respect for his friend and teammate but that is no longer an option. Deciding they want to be together is only the beginning of their journey and although they must face more obstacles along the way they are so much stronger together than apart.
This story takes us on an emotional journey that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. The characters draw you in and if anyone deserves a happy ever after it is this couple.
When you read a book and it hits so deep. This book was THAT book. The emotion I felt when it came to this story. My heart was breaking for these characters. Life isn’t easy and this shows you can get through anything and still come out ahead!!
Lola and Theo have been around each other for years. Best friend of lolas brother. When huge tragedy strikes, Theo rushes to save the day. They must navigate anger, departures and emotional rifts. Together, they figure out they can do just about anything.
I absolutely loved Lola and Theo!! You must buy this book!!
First off I want to say that I absolutely love this story and this serious as a whole. This serious is Theo and Lola’s story. I think it’s fun when the series like this one focuses on a different set of characters love story but at least one of the characters is all connected to another character in the series. Being me also I felt like this was a very emotional book because of some of the things that happened. This is the third book in the series and I would highly recommend you read them in order so you can get a bit of a background on the characters. If you’re looking for a story that’s going to grab you at the beginning and keep you locked throughout this story is definitely for you.
I have start off by saying I think this is one of my KL Donn books to date. Sometimes with her books they just suck you in on this emotional roller coaster more than others. I cried and I cried and I laughed and then I freaking cried some more because this book just hits you in all the feels. Nix and Theo are great and I loved the relationship that blossomed between the two but the real story here was one of loss, strength and devotion. You have this beautiful and incredibly sweet love story born out of tragedy. Nix is really put through the ringer and Theo comes through in spades being there for her. I can’t really say a lot about the plot because it would give away a lot of the book but all I can say is this is a book should be experienced. I was pulled into this book from the first page and I finished it all in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down, except to grab tissues and flonase for when my nose stopped up from all the crying! This is such an incredible book and definitely a MUST READ!
3.5 Stars
Wow, where to start? This book hits the ground running and it never really slows down. Full of tragedy and loss, heartbreak and taboo love, special family of a military crew.
Lola has suffered more than her share of loss and has often felt alone. Her only family is an older brother who is often off on a mission saving people. He has tried to give her an extended family in his crew of men. Her only other family was that of her long time bestie. When Sammy her best friend dies, it all seems like too much, how will she move on from this? When Theo comes to help her pick up the pieces, her heart beats a little faster.
Theo has been watching Lola from afar for a long while. First as a little sister to her buddy and boss. But somewhere along the lines those sights and feelings changed to soo much more. He has had to wait, sit back and watch her grow into a wonderful strong woman while he waited for her to get older. As he steps in to help her through this tragedy while her brother is off on a mission, he can no longer hold back. Especially when it seems these feeling might not be one sided.
Will Theo be able to help Lola get her shine back after all this loss? Can there be a future for them?
Although I did enjoy the story and the characters. I felt it was a little too rushed. It missed some of the intimacies in some parts where it could have strengthen the story and made me love it. I do like the series and can’t wait for more from this crazy group of men.

WOAH!!!! Seriously how much can one girl take? Lola has just had nothing but tragedy from the time she was little but then all that in a weeks time. Strong is not the word for it.
Theo? That man knows what he wants and he wont stop once the wheels are in motion. He is grabbing on with both hands and will do anything to see his love be ok and heal. Once these two grab ahold there is no stopping the healing process and their love unfold.
If you like emotional rollercoaster, shock, some action and alot of alpha love…… then this book is for you.
This series just keeps getting better and better. It is a must have!! One Click this one and the others right now you will not be disappointed. Amazing story and read!!
Lola has been through so much loss and heartache for one so young, but when tragedy strikes again she’s not sure how she will return to a normal life. Luckily Theo is there to take care of her and be there for her in her time of need. Finally claiming his woman when she needs him the most. These two are perfect for each other, truly meant to be. They face obstacles that no person should have to face and come out stronger because of their love. I loved their story more and more with each turn of the page.
KL is amazing, and he words are so powerful you can’t help but to feel the pain and heartache that these two are going through. I definitely needed and used the box of Kleenex that I had at the ready.
This book was everything and definitely gave me all of the feels.
5 Star Read!
Wow, this story was so heart breaking. Heavy content, but brilliantly executed.
Tragedy strikes right at the beginning of the book, you will have tears in your eyes. The consolation is that you get to see the love that Theo and Lola have for each other right from the beginning.
Theo loves Lola with everything he has. He is determined to make sure she has everything she has ever wanted and to be there for her always.
Lola has loved Theo ever since she was a little girl. She has experienced more tragic events in her life than any one should. Theo comes to her rescue and becomes her knight in shining armour.
I love how K.L. Donn incorporate others stories into her books, which makes you want to keep reading more and more.
Can’t wait to hear more about Nix, Weston and Reed!
Wow, what an emotional rollercoaster of a book. I couldn’t put book down once started. This book made me so emotional.
Even through so much tragedy you can find happiness. Don’t let your fears get in your way.
I loved Lola and Theo together, they may of had feelings from a far. But tragedy and trauma brings them together. I loved how Theo is with her through it all.
K.L Donn did amazing job on this book.
OMG this is my first K.L. Donn Book but it certainly won’t be my last. I see a binge read of all her books in my near future. LOL.
I am still reeling from the emotional storyline of this book. It gave me all the feels. I am madly in love with Lola and Theo. I admit I completely geek out with awesome character names which I feel these are.
This book starts out intense and keeps me living a roller coaster ride of emotion throughout. It is so much more than a love story. It’s filled with intrigue. It touches on hard hitting topics such as suicide, school violence, and PTSD, just to name a few.
Lola is the younger orphaned sister of one of the men in the task force. Theo is older and part of the special ops group. Because of Lola’s age, unrequited love is part of the history of this couple.
Everything changes when a series of events shows life is precious and feelings can no longer be denied. EEK! SOOO GOOD! Not gonna lie, I get an adrenaline rush just reliving the telling of this story.
You get more than just angsty though. Our couple certainly know how to spice up the page. Can you say, SEEXXXYY?! Wink.
Ugh I hope I haven’t said to much. I wanted you to feel teased without giving the beautiful, often heart palpating feel of this story away. Only one thing left to say.
Happy Reading Everyone! XOXO
Another amazing book by KL Donn. So much emotion in this book from one end of the spectrum to the other. These two belong together and it’s taken them awhile to get there. But man when things do finally fall in line it’s sexy time to the 1 million powers!! Such an amazing addition to this series and I cannot wait for more!!!!
I haven’t had a book break my heart so many times since the last Task Force 779 book. Lola has had so many losses in her life. The latest and last one is so tragic, I was bawling my eyes out. The one good thing out of it is Theo and Lola realizing that life is too short to waste anymore time. These two together were perfect, I could read about them forever. They are my favorite couple in this, bar none! I think I am going to have to reread it again soon, I loved them so much. Lola is so strong but everyone has their breaking point but luckily Theo is there for her. The deepest truth is he needs her just as much as she needs him. KL Donn is one of my favorite authors and she stays on that list because she keeps growing as an author. She can put so much emotion into her stories, you can’t help but fall in love with each one. All the stars for Nowhere to Run!
You know when a book is a good book when it takes you on the gamut of emotions. And oh my goodness this was the book!!! I ugly cried for Lola’s heartbreak while smiling at all of the courage she had to overcome said heartbreak. Then Theo that supported Lola at every turn I loved him for that. The twists and turns of this book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I absolutely loved this story and I highly recommend this book!!!
Kl Donn never ceases to blow me away with the depth of her characters and the world she creates for them. The guys of Task Force 779 are back and it’s Theo’s turn to claim his perfect match, even if it is Lola, his commander’s baby sister and someone he has known since the task force formed. Yet when she needs someone the most it’s Theo by her side and helping her. Their story is twisted, tragic, endearing and utterly perfect for who these two really are as characters and just how they both fit into this Task Force 779 world.
Beautiful sexy and oh so alpha yummy
I’m absolutely loving this series it has everything u could ask for in a series mystery alphas action sexy times and did I mention the yummy alphas….
Wow, just WOW….this is an awesome story of love that waited for the right time. A story of the one person who is your rock no matter what. Theo and Lola will bring you to tears and make you smile and fall in love. There are some issues that may be a trigger but they are handled in an absolute awesomely respectful way. Another win for K.L. Donn, who is definitely on my one-click list!
Nowhere To Run by K.L. Donn is book 3 in the Task Force 779 Series. This is the story of Theo Burkhart and Lola Bishop. I felt this was a standalone book. Lola has been raised by her brother’s and really his group of friends in the Task Force. Theo is in that task force but due to their situation and the age difference nothing more has been between them. When something happens to Lola she only knows that she wants Theo who comes running to her. This has wrecked both of their worlds and brought their feelings full force where they won’t be able to put them back. This book has some trigger issues but it is a really page turning her. I am such a fan of this author so I really enjoyed this book!
Holy box of tissues! This is a twist your heart, tears streaming from the start, all about the feelings book. The amount of heartache that Lola has went through in her young life absolutely broke my heart. She’s so strong and has this love of life and I envy that bit of her despite how life has tried to break her down. Theo is the ultimate protector that is there for her in a very powerful way. I loved this story, there are definite moments that shook me, started those tears again but kept me reading. Of course, there is just the perfect amount of heat mixed in with the suspense and pain. I always love checking in with past characters we’ve fell in love with and meeting new ones we can’t wait to read more about. Lola and Theo’s story is a must!
OMG! This book is absolutely amazing! K. L. Donn once again delivers a heart wrenching, ugly cry, good book!
A poignantly beautiful story that had me needing the Kleenex through most of it. This is another installment of the Task Force 779 series that always grabs you from the get-go and this one didn’t disappoint on the turmoil, trails, and the beautiful love. Lola has been the glue that holds the team together as a family but now she needs them, and Theo finally steps up to claim his girl. I loved Lola from the first book but now I want so much more of her. Theo don’t get me started, alpha is always my kind of man, but he’s so much more.
KL Donn knows how to grab the reader and hold them through the whole book until the ending when you’re hungover as if you drank too much. I can’t wait for more installments of this series but right now Theo and Lola are my favorite couple.
