REGRET NO MORE (James Blake #2) (Kindle Edition)Rating: 4.5 stars.REGRET NO MORE (James Blake #2)is the second of the James Blake series. It follows 3 years after James Blake rescued his wife Julia from the clutches of Alfieri And Alessa Lando, ruthless villains who dealt in Arts (whether legit or stolen) and trafficked drugs and every other thing they could trade. Now, Alfieri is dead, Matteo his son is in prison and Alessa Lando has taken up with a Russian Oligarch, for protection and her love of power. The Blakes have new identities and start slowly to rebuild their lives. Julia is seven months pregnant and still not fully recovered from the degradation Alfieri subjected her to, and the drugs he injected her with.But nothing last forever, and their safety is compromised. A contract of two millions (one million each) is on their heads. James disappears and Julia has to rely on Miles, her brother in law, the unintentional source of her Italian ordeal, for safety. But she finds it hard to forgive him and he finds it hard to shake his guilt.Corrupt FBI agents, rogue policeman, contract killers, conspiracy, the theft of La Joconde from the Louvre thirty years ago, a letter naming the perpetrators take the Blake brothers in a race against time to save Julia and her unborn child.Well done Mr Kirby, but please, do not make us wait too long for the third instalment. I do not want to spoil it for those who will read the book but I want to know how a certain person has made it home. Or if....My recommendation to would be readers is that it is better to read firstTake No More (James Blake #1)- Obviously, the author gives a bit of background story but I think it is not enough. I readTake No More (James Blake #1)more than a year ago and I know I should have made a quick re-read to fully enjoyREGRET NO MORE (James Blake #2). My bad, but once I started to read Regret no More, I could not put it down even for a speed read of Take No More. But there were things I had forgotten.In a nutshell: A wonderful read for those who love intrigue. At a great price too. Give it a try!
