No Place to Run (A KGI Novel) (edició 2010)

I read this pretty much immediately after the first and it proved to be another really satisfying read.

I'll admit to not having seen a certain 'twist in the tale' so that in particular was well handled.

I'm also loving how the background story is proceeding along (of the Kelly family as a whole) so the compound is becoming more urgent (it'll be interesting to see how that goes along and what effect that has on subsequent events - in both this and 'The Darkest Hour' the lake played a particular part in the storyline. It'll be interesting to see other geographical features being utlised to full effect).

Sam and Sophie work well together, their personalities mesh well I'd say so I'm really happy with how this worked. ( )

This is the first book I have read in the series. I love it! I had a hard time putting it down. Soph and Sam make a cute and loving couple. I was happy to read that they made it through to the end. I can't wait to read about the rest of the brothers and KGI. Purrrrrr! ( )

After an affair where neither of them were very honest, they come together to protect Sophie and her baby from her family, even though trust is an issue.

Love love loved this book! ( )

No Place to Run
4 Stars

Synopsis
Pregnant and on the run, Sophie Lundgren has no one to turn to except her baby's father, Sam Kelly. Following a short and intense affair while undercover, Same never expected to see Sophie again until she resurfaces with a dire warning that he is in danger. In order to neutralize the threat, Sam and Sophie must put aside their suspicions and learn to trust each other before it is too late.

Review
Vast improvement on book #1 both in terms of characterization and plot.

Sophie is an amazing heroine - courageous, resourceful and self-sacrificing. It is impossible not to respect and admire her. She doesn't take any crap from anyone and kicks butt even at 5 months pregnant.

Same is a captivating hero - a strong leader, loyal brother, loving son and protective lover. His scenes with Sophie are a mix of scorching hot and achingly tender, and his reactions to impending fatherhood are one of the highlights of the book.

The conflict between Sam and Sophie is based on issues of trust and while this is usually a plot device that grates on me, it is very well done here as it is consistent with both Sam and Sophie's characterization and the circumstances they find themselves in.

Although the plot is not the most original, it is suspenseful and the action scenes are well written and exciting. The twist at the end is a bit predictable but the climax and resolution are very satisfying.

The secondary characters are fantastic and I'm looking forward to reading Garrett's book - there is something tortured about this stoney faced Kelly brother. ( )
