Run the Risk

De: Lori Foster

When Detective Logan Riske goes undercover to find Pepper Yates, a potential link to his best friend's unsolved murder, he vows to gain her cooperation by any means necessary.

Fantastic Foster

I really enjoyed this book, Lori Foster never fails. I am excited to see any spin offs from this book. I really enjoyed the characters and the twists and turns. This is a great example of Lori Foster's amazing talent.

Fun listen.

This is one of those books that has layers. It's a 'suspense' but if you're expecting Iris Johansen type book, you'll be disappointed. And I was, at first. Then I realized I was still listening because this book has layers of suspense and none of the important ones are the 'crime'-ish part of the book. I liked it. A lot.

My kind of listen!

If you could sum up Run the Risk in three words, what would they be?

Deception, Death, Desire

Pepper, she is one tough lady.

Which character – as performed by Jim Frangione – was your favorite?

Pepper. I always admire a strong woman.

Any additional comments?

It's worth your credit. This one is a keeper. I enjoyed it very much and if you agree with any of the previous reviews I have submitted then you're really going to like this one too.It has the element of a strong woman facing down danger and showing her man how a real woman can handle things.

Lori Delivers a Good One!

Logan and Pepper made this story sing. I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction between these two protagonists. The relationship between Pepper and her brother Rowdy Yates (every time I heard his name I kept thinking Clint Eastwood) had no one to rely on but each other. Rowdy and Pepper worked for one the most notorious players in the city, then they witness a murder of one of the cities prominent members sends them into hiding.
Logan manages to find Pepper and stakes her out and manages to get through her defenses. This story sucked me in quickly, I stayed invested in this story until I finished it in one day. Well worth a credit if you like murder, bad policemen, organized crime, and a sexy detective who is a real gentleman.

Good Steamy Contemporary Romance

I'd been reading a lot of historical and wanted to come back to the modern age so I picked this one up. I really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I'd not read this author before so I didn't know what to expect, I'm really glad I gave it a try. I'd listened to the narrator before (he reads the Black Daggar Brotherhood series) and I knew I'd like him. Jim Frangione just makes all the guys sound like sexy alpha males. sigh....
