Oh, where do I start?  My first piece of advice is not to read this book without reading Saturday’s at the Viper Room first.  That is what happened to me and I was a little confused.  I went onto Amazon and Goodreads to try and piece some of the missing puzzle pieces together and that helped a little.  With all of that being said, I took this book by the cover and dove right in.  So far I am truly enjoying what I’ve read of the series.  After this book I will definitely will be one clicking Saturday’s at the Viper Room.  The Runaway Viper has caught my attention and it’s keeping me on the edge of my seat.  I keep asking myself that will happen next.  I personally think this book could be a lot hotter.“You’ve become this beautifully strong woman from a weak manipulated object.  You’re exactly like a phoenix.”  - Jace describing Joely’s change after her escape from the Viper Room.Jace and Joely spent months on the run after her escape from the claws of Clara Delvine.  Clara doesn’t like to lose and loosing Joely made her out to seek revenge.  Clara would do anything and everything to get her head Viper Girl back.  I found her to be deceiving, manipulative and downright cold.  She didn’t care who he hurt in the process.  She hated that Jace took Joely from her.  Jace’s sole purpose in life was to protect Joely from Clara.Joely had a happy life with Jace even when they were on the run but they still kept looking over their shoulders.  They both never knew when Clara or her men were going to attack.  After being on the run Clara finally caught up with them and Joely had to return to the Viper Room.  When she went back that is when she noticed all of the changes.  It wasn’t for the good of the girls.  Clara did it to make a point.  You cannot leave the Viper Room.Jace always tried to be one step ahead of Clara but it seemed like she was always two steps ahead of them.  Joely crushed his heart when she went back to the Viper Room.  That was the only way she knew how to protect him.  Clara would do anything in her power to destroy Jace.  Jace was a smart man.  He always had help and a master plan.  He had been beaten and that still never stopped him.Joely became a shell of her former self.  She lost that passion and fire that she once had.  She was letting Clara get to her.  Joely was once the head Viper Girl and all the men in the club wanted her.  She used to have all of the clients and now she was considered “The Dog”.  She had been degraded and humiliated in front of everyone.Clara’s days are numbered and when the day finally comes nobody will know its coming.  Jace pulls no punches  to get the women he loves back from the clutches of the devil.Will Jace and Joely get ever get their freedom?  I guess we will have to find out in The Viper’s Bite, the last book in the series.  That title alone makes me interested.  Happy reading and I hope you enjoy The Runaway Viper.REVIEWED BY BECKY WARNICK FOR SUMMER'S BOOK BLOG
