This book had a promising premise, but parts of it just didn't work for me. Nevertheless, it had action and romance and suspense and a hot man who falls or not only the girl, but also her kid. So it still was an interesting read that I enjoyed more or less. Sam was kind of annoying to me, but her arguments with Danny were amusing. A little more than three stars, but not quite 3 1/2, so I rounded down Beautiful cover! I have been in a 3 week reading slump which equates to ten years probably for anyone else. I needed something to kick start my reading and this suited very well. I really liked it. Nothing new or ground breaking just some pretty solid romantic suspense. Loved the gutsy heroine and the hot hero. Some parts might have been implausible but what the hey? Sometimes you just have to go along for the fun ride without tearing stuff apart. A solid entertaining read. Shiver was well written, but the story was fairly average. Sam repossess cars at night to support herself and her four year old son. While on a run, she accidentally stumbles on "Marco," who has been left in the trunk of a car she is repossessing. When his attackers find her, she is thrown in with Marco to be killed later. Marco is actually Danny, an undercover FBI agent. Not knowing who Marco really is, Sam still attempts to help him escape. Too much of this story was spent with inner monologues and time spent in safe houses. There wasn't enough action, plot, or character development for a story of this length. Definitely a disappointment from author, Karen Robards, who usually does a better job with romantic suspense. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

That night, Samantha Jones was doing what she always did: just trying to get by. Left to make her own way on the mean streets of East St. Louis, the pretty twenty-three-year-old single mother supported herself and her son as best she could by repo-ing cars. When she hooked her junker of a tow truck up to the BMW she'd been sent to haul in, the last thing she expected was to find a beaten, bloody man in the trunk--or to be catapulted into a terrifying fight to survive. Danny Pantrero was minutes away from dying when Sam found him. Bleeding badly from a gunshot wound, he'd been snatched from protective custody by a vicious gang of drug runners who would stop at nothing to see him dead. With his life on the line, Danny takes Sam hostage. Forcing her to help him, he tries to make her understand that now she's a target for the killers, too. When they invade her house and threaten her son's life, she finally understands: there's no going back. She and five-year-old Tyler go on the run with Danny in a desperate effort to reach the authorities who have promised him protection before the killers can silence all three of them forever. In the face of harrowing danger, Sam has no choice but to trust Danny with her life--and, more importantly, her son's. Against her will, she starts to fall for the once-menacing stranger, and discovers a depth of passion she never imagined she could feel. But what Sam doesn't know is that Danny has a secret that could destroy them all. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Daniel Panterro was certain he was going to die. Instead, by a stroke of luck, he was beaten to within an inch of his life and left for dead. But if he’s having a bad day, Sam’s day is about to get way worse. Danny knows he hasn’t seen the last of the vicious drug runners who kidnapped him from protective custody. His only recourse is to take his pretty savior hostage and force her to help him. There’s no going back for Sam and her four-year-old son, Tyler. They’re in way too deep.
With ruthless killers stalking their trail, Sam’s only choice is to trust this handsome, menacing stranger. But as she relinquishes control, Sam feels an unmistakable desire. Could she be tempted by Danny, who seems intent on protecting her and Tyler from even his own darkest secrets? And what is the price of falling in love with a man who operates on the edge of danger — her heart, her life... or both?
