My
thoughts:
My first time reading this author, and I really enjoyed the book.
Jillian is an ER doctor who is kidnapped from the hospital parking
lot and forced to tend to the wounds of a young gang member. She's
frightened much of the time, but dedicated to saving her patient,
while also trying to find a way to escape. She's resourceful, and
while her escape plan fails, she stays strong. Alex is an undercover
agent who has been betrayed and is now on the run from not only the
gang he infiltrated, but from the FBI.
I'm not generally a fan of quick romance, preferring to watch a relationship build up between the characters, but Ms. Lacombe wrote it very well here and it worked for me. The ending was a bit contrived, but certainly satisfying. A quick look through my book chart showed me that I have another of Ms. Lacombe's books, “Killer Season”, though since I recently moved and most of my books are still packed I've no idea where it is at the moment. But I look forward to it!
Goodreads synopsis: Putting her faith in someone who lies for a living isn't the safest thing Dr. Jillian Mahoney has ever done. But to stay alive, she has to believe the undercover agent—who's kidnapped her to prove his innocence—isn't a traitor to the FBI. And to help him, she must deny their intense attraction as they run from two vengeful killers.
Her captor, Alex Malcom, has lived a life of lies—some worse than others. Still, there's one truth he's reluctant to disclose to Jillian, the woman of his dreams. One that could stop their relationship cold.
