From the back cover:
US Marshal Madison James may not be sure who shot her three months ago, but she does know one thing--it's time to get back out into the field. When her partner, Jonas Quinn, receives a message that a federal warrant just came in on a man connected to a string of bank robberies, Madison jumps at the chance to get back to work. What she and Jonas find is a bank robbery in progress that's gone wrong--and things are about to get worse.
For these bank robbers, it's never been just about the money. It's about taking risks and adrenaline rushes, and getting caught is not part of the game. When the suspects escape, Madison and Jonas must hunt them down and bring them to justice before someone else--someone close to them--gets hurt . . . or worse.
My review:
Getting reacquainted with US Marshals Madison and Jonas (from The Escape) was a rush. On Madison’s first day back at work after being shot, she and her partner, Jonas, are thrust into pursuing skilled bank robbers. Twists and turns keep the tension high as they strive to solve the identities of the robbers and keep them from hurting anyone else.
The relationship between Madison and Jonas has deepened since their first story together, making a delightful, sweet romance a possibility. Will they admit their feelings or push them aside?
This is the kind of suspense novel I really enjoy: realistic, fast-paced plot, engaging characters, and high tension without gore. Faith plays a important part in this story, also, which I appreciate.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher and award it five stars. Recommended!
