An adrenaline fueled thrill ride!

Jennifer is in Las Vegas attending a real estate conference.  While not excited to be at the  conference itself, she is looking forward to spending some time with her boss Bryan. They have been spending some time together, keeping things respectable, but now that he has made an official break from his marriage, Jennifer is looking forward to their relationship moving to the next level, and is hoping the conference is the perfect time to make that move. 

Jennifer's plans fall apart when she walks into her room to find her conference room-mate and Bryan together in an intimate position. In shock, brokenhearted, and with her room occupied, she jumps in the car and escapes into the night, getting as far from the strip as she can. As her initial shock wears off she finds herself lost on the desert roads beyond Las Vegas.  Pulling into a truck stop to get directions, she ends up interrupting a robbery. Another bystander - Matt Crocker, intervenes and saves her, thwarting the would be robbers in the process. But small towns can hold big secrets, and what at first seems to be a simple run-of-the-mill robbery turns out to be much more. Soon both Jennifer and Crocker are on the run and their pursuers  are clearly hedging their bets in this deadly game.

I was impressed by this debut novel. The writing was clean, not overdone, and definitely engaging.  I was drawn in quickly and burned through this fast paced book in no time. 

Happy Reading,
Christine
