This one was incredible! I'm so in love with this series and its characters that i jsut can't get enough! Gabe and Skye had some pretty rough obstacles to get through and then finally achieve that happiness they so deserved that the end of the book was made that much more sweeter. The story, as always, was very griping and entertaining, always pinpointing that sometimes the people you think you know best are not at all what they seem. Amazing! ( )

So as I continue on my learning curve with romance novels I was introduced to No Chance (something I hear a lot usually after asking for a date) but rather than another knockback this book by Christy Reece is a suspense romance. I hear you ask what is suspense romance well it is a romance with a thriller thrown in. If this were a movie it would be one where the two central characters are at like bunnies every so often and the rest of the time blood is being spilt and a mystery uncovered.

Gabe Maddox is on Kalamina Island in the South Pacific recuperating from a horrendous ordeal in a time where he had lost his brother and step brother in a mining accident and having been held hostage in Africa. His eyes fall on a beautiful young American women, Skylar James who herself is trying to escape her name and her role in society. Skylar is attracted to Gabe as much as he to her, and even more so as he doesn’t actually know who she is. They get married and Skylar returns to New York to inform her family, with family intervention things go pair shaped for the happy couple.

Fast forward eight years and they are brought back together after Skylar has been kidnapped while looking for her mentee Kendra. It is Gabe who works with elite operatives to rescue Skylar, and eventually goes on to find Kendra. But none of this is easy as there is a lot of money being involved in keeping a sexual predator happy with his needs, and he will do anything to keep his mask of respectability intact and that means plenty of blood and guts.

It is through adversity that brings Gabe and Skylar back in to each other’s arms and bed. Like all Hollywood movies there is a happy ending which in this care means lots of sex, a kind of James Bond ending to the book. Like all men I see myself as Gabe Maddox, the hero, the man that can do everything perfectly and have the perfect girl in Skylar James. There is plenty of action in the book of the thriller and sexual variety and it really is a page turner as you want Gabe to get over his stupidness and just tell Skylar he wants to jump her bones but he is like most men, an idiot when he is confronted by the one he loves.

This is a wonderful book that has a great pace about it, there is enough romance and sex but not so much that it overrides the plot. I am sure you ladies can leave this book for your partner to read and he will actually love it. Well done Christy Reece you have won over this male sceptic with your writing. ( )

This one didn't grip me as much as the previous three, but it was still quite good. This is Gabe's story and we finally find out about the mystery woman he married eight years ago.

Eight years ago, a young Skylar and Gabe met while on vacation, they fell in love and got married. What Skylar never got a chance to mention to her husband was that she was a famous model. After telling her parents about her secret nuptials, her father is less than pleased and secretly visits his new son-in-law, determined to drive him out of his daughter's life. Skylar's father employed other acts of deceit and deception to make sure the two stayed apart, and he let his daughter believe that her husband had committed suicide.

Eight years later, Skylar works with several charitable organizations but she's particularly invested in helping teenage girls who are on the fast track to nowhere good. When one of her girls, Kendra, disappears after going to a model interview, she tries to find her only to end up being kidnapped. What do you know, Daddy dearest shows up at LCR asking for help to find Skylar. Of course the perfect operative for the job is his son-in-law, Gabe.

Skylar is shocked when she sees her rescuer. The truth about her father's involvement in the separation of the couple cuts deep. For the rest of the story, Skylar and Gabe work together to try and save Kendra. Posing as a couple to try and find Kendra's captor, who is believed to run in the same circle of wealth and fame.

Their love and passion seemed to have withstood the test of time and their separation. I shared Cole's enthusiasm for watching the couple flounder while trying to figure out where they stood with each other and whether their marriage was worth saving. I enjoyed the romance aspect of this book more than the suspense. Still a good read though. ( )

Read for Fun!
Challanges: TBR Challenge, Mystery/Suspense
Overall Rating: 4.50
Story Rating: 4.50
Character Rating: 4.50

First thought when finished: Least favorite so far and still damn good! Love a series like that!

What I Loved: I have said it before and I will say it again these LCR stories are darn near heartbreaking every time! What the company does and how Christy does not shy away from dealing with recovery is fantastic. The romance at the center of this piece, Skylar and Gabe, was different than the ones before but still pretty powerful. I loved Skylar as a character--she was pretty darn unique.

What I Liked: I thought the storyline itself was pretty fantastic and while I could predict who it was, it did not detract from watching Gabe figure it out. I also liked Gabe and Cole working together!

What made me go huh?: Nothing really

Final Thought: Love this series! That is all! Go BUY IT! ( )

I really did not like Gabe in this book. He was so self absorbed and at times flat out mean. Skylar was a doormat. And the fact that both of them were celibate for 8 yrs especially when she thought he was dead. I also didn't like the many flashbacks to their first time having sex together. By the third time it was very old. ( )
