Product Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen is back with an electrifying new thriller that pits a mother and daughter against a relentless killer who takes no prisoners, accepts no surrender, and leaves his intended victims with no choice but one: to run for their lives.…Wherever you stop, he’ll be waiting.…The picture was a warning: they'd found her. For eight years Grace Archer hoped this day wouldn't come–and knew in her heart that it would. She'd taken her daughter, Frankie, to a rural Alabama horse farm that might just as well have been at the end of the earth. But the man out to kill them would gladly follow them that far. And now, it seems, he had.A woman with a highly classified past, Grace had never run from anything in her life. But as a mother, she'd do anything to keep eight-year-old Frankie safe. Now that safe world has been shattered, and a ferocious hunter has been unleashed. Suddenly the agency that owed Grace its gratitiude and protection has abandoned her and only one ally remains: a man even more dangerous than her worst enemy.She hasn't set eyes on Jake Kilmer since the catastrophic events of eight years ago. Now he's asking Grace to trust him with the one thing more precious to her than life itself. But with a ruthless criminal kingpin determined to make her pay for the past, her and her daughter's lives on the line, and time running out, she just may have to put her faith in a man who she believes has already betrayed her once. |

Good then bad by SPARKY0210 (BOSTON)  3 Stars
July 19, 2010
I liked the first half of this book, it was like reading an action adventure. The first couple of chapters started out really strong. But the plot did not hold my interest and I had to skip most of the 2nd half of the book. You knew from the beginning how the romance would end. I got bored with all the pages about the great horses, if you're not a horse lover, you'll be bored also.

Lose the uptight heroine by Patriot (Sunny California) 3 Stars
April 21, 2009
This was my first Iris Johansen book and there were many aspects of it I liked. I enjoyed the fast-pace and larger-than-life characters, especially the horse-whisperer scenes. What dragged it down for me was Grace's treatment of Jake. She felt betrayed by him 9 years ago but even after learning that she was wrong, she continues to treat him like dirt. She never appreciates the sacrifice Jake made in staying out of her and their daughter's life. Instead she uses him (for sex and protection of her daughter)and gives little in return.
More romance (not to be equated with sex) between Grace and Jake would have raised this to a 5-star for me.

One of my favorites by Peanord  5 Stars
February 18, 2009
One of my favorites from Iris(they are all my favorites). Once I started, I couldn't put it down as with all of her books. I love the awesome balance that Iris can always seem to create between action and love to keep her audience on the edge of their seat. This is a great story. This is a must buy and a must read.

I tried to read it so many times.... by Outspoken RN (Sunny California)  1 Stars
March 29, 2008
I attempted to read this book multiple times and simply could not do it. I tried from the beginning a few times. Then I thought, we'll maybe it's just a slow beginning. I attempted to read a few chapters in and still found myself incredibly bored. I checked to see if it was a sequel because I felt SURE that I was missing something that would make the plot make sense. Photos of blue eyed horses in the passenger seat of a car, the CIA watching a woman on a ranch with a precocious and "special" child who doesn't know who her father is. Horses who "know" things... It was clique and boring - boring - boring. I simply could NOT get into it after attempting for two years. I have now given up and am about to donate it so that another poor soul can waste their time attempting to read it.

Neither fish nor fowl by Happy Grandma (Visalia, CA USA)  2 Stars
March 25, 2008
I love good mysteries. This book is not a good mystery. Reminds me more of a rather silly romance novel. It is sort of a throw in the kitchen sink and call it done. The CIA, genius kid, horse whisperer devoted mom who can only focus on how hot she is,and a paramilitary hero larger than life. Badly written. Will not buy another book by this author.
