Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 23, 2013
This Bullet Catcher novella may be a slightly shortened version compared to one of the lengthier novels we are used to reading from St. Claire in her award-winning romantic suspense series, but it definitely doesn't lack for action, suspense, and romance. A fast read that grips you from beginning to end.Ben Youngblood and Callie Parrish make for a highly unlikely but nonetheless steamy pair as they team up to stop an assassin, race against time, fight for their lives and their livelihoods, all while finding their passion for each other too undeniable to ignore along the way. And lets not forget St. Claire's masterful ability to stop a 100mph train on a dime when making a plot-twisting, shocking revelation! (Sorry - no spoilers!)I always love how St. Claire is able to bring a little reality into her fiction, fascinating the reader in this story with the science behind deadly poisons and a slight bit of history and world travel. She's packed so much into this novella - it's hard to believe its not a full length novel.Plus - True fans of the Bullet Catchers series will also be thrilled to revisit with some of their favorite characters - Lucy Sharp, founder of the world-class bodyguard organization, the love of her life, Jack Culver and their baby girl, Gracie.Being a die-hard BC fan...I can honestly say I loved this novella of romantic suspense! If you haven't read the Bullet Catchers series, I highly recommend you do! As a very wise stage director always used to say when giving a great performance, "Always leave the audience wanting more!" St. Claire does this every time!
