Not bad |
|
At first the story is so thrilling that you'll want to read it in a sitting. As the story reveals the thrilling parts are less and less and the reading gets dull and boring. Then at the end the book starts again as it should be. I don't really know if I want to read another "Bullet Catcher's" book |

Intense action and romance. Awesome series. |
|
I stumbled upon one of Ms. St. Claire's books in a used book store and couldn't put it down. I promptly did a search on Americancivilwar and am working my way through the series. You can read the books in any order as each of them can stand alone. I couldn't recommend this series any higher. They're a great antidote for a dull day. Buckle up and enjoy the ride! |

Wonderful Romantic Suspense |
|
Mind kind of book! The suspense kept me glued to this one and I found it to be a fun read. The romance was good, too. If you are looking for a romantic suspense, you should enjoy this one. No slow parts, nicely developed characters and I'm already on book #2 of this series. Enjoy! |

A passable read |
|
If you are looking for a light story to pass the time, this book can serve that purpose. No more no less. This is the first time I have read a book by Roxanne St. Claire and for me it will be the last. If you are looking for top of the line stories, try Nora Roberts, Linda Howard or Susan Elizabeth Phillips. These authors are really extraordinary writters. |

This was a terrific story with strong characters, mystery, romance, and action. |
The Bullet Catcher Series:
Kill Me Twice
Thrill Me To Death
Take Me Tonight
I'm always excited when I find a new author to add to my home library. Roxanne St. Claire can really tell a story. Her descriptions of the locations in the tale are vivid without being too wordy. Her characters are well developed and realistic. There is plenty of mystery and lots of fast- paced scenes to keep you turning the pages.
Alex has been assigned the duty of guarding a well- known news reporter. As a body guard among an elite team known as the 'Bullet Catchers', he takes his job seriously. When he arrives to take on his assigned task, he is surprised to find that his client has been replaced by her twin sister.
Jazz and her twin, Jess, are as different as night and day. While Jess is busy building her career as a famous anchorwoman, Jazz prefers risking her life as a private investigator. When Jess wants to take a week off at the news station to research a ground- breaking story, Jazz agrees to pretend she is her sister on the evening news. When Jazz arrives at her sister's apartment she is shocked to learn that she has a new body guard. The last thing Jazz wants or needs is a man following her around.
Over the following days, Alex and Jazz learn that Jess is in trouble. Until she is found, Alex has been reassigned to guarding Jazz in her sister's place. Jazz wants to follow every dangerous lead to her sister's whereabouts. Alex is determined to keep her from running straight into a trap. They make a pact to work together until Jess is saved. Their biggest challenge becomes fighting their attraction for one another so they can concentrate on saving Jess.
This book is a real page- turner. The only thing that made it a bit less enjoyable for me was the fact that Jazz's character was quite cold. She is jaded from a past relationship and will not bend when Alex tries to keep her safe. He compromises again and again in their search for Jess, but she insists upon doing everything her way... even to the point of taking unreasonable risks. She constantly disappears without warning, leaving Alex to frantically search for her. When their relationship progresses to "the next level", Jazz tells him that she only wants him for sex. It got to a point where I really could not like Jazz. I was wishing Alex had a woman with a bit more heart. Still, the story is definitely worth all 5 stars.
