This review must be short and sweet because there are so many ways I can give out spoilers that I am not sure how to avoid it. I will say this is a series and I read both books back to back and am glad I did. There is a third book coming but it doesn't bother me that I read before it was out.In The Viper Rooms, Kirsty-Anne Still has created a high dollar "gentleman's club" with some of the most gorgeous girls around. Our evil, evil madam of the story, Clara Delvine is a nasty creature. Her entire reasoning for creating the Viper Rooms is based upon others living the pain she did.To become a Viper Girl, you must sign a contract to live the next 6 years in almost her servitude. There are 6 rules every Viper Girl must live by and if she does, she is rewarded with lots of money, a home, clothes and more. But Joely Gilbert, one of two head Viper Girls, does the unthinkable, she falls in love with a client.Joely accepted this life based upon the guilt she felt and the lack of options she had when she runs away. In "Saturdays At The Viper Room," we get the love story of Jace Mason and Joely Gilbert. There is the suspense of being caught and the punishment Clara will dish out once it happens.In her follow-up story, "The Runaway Viper," Jace has helped Joely escape, promising her to always protect her and to love her no matter. Spending a significant time on the run, the question becomes will they every truly be safe from Clara. Can they find the one place she won't be able to locate them?Joely and Jace's love is strong, the chemistry amazing but this is no match for Clara. "The Runaway Viper" is a fast-paced romance with a touch of suspense, packaged into a must read thriller. You never know which way Clara is going to go and her cold-heartedness makes for some seriously evil scenes. However, the connection between Jace and Joely is not easily broken so each one is constantly fighting to get to the other.The supporting characters were an amazing addition to this story as well. Eli, Brianna, Josh and even our villains in training helped shape the decisions, consequences and life of Jace and Joely.
