Hunted

By: Karen Robards

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews, Cassandra Campbell

'Twas the night before Christmas…and dozens of rich, influential hostages are trapped inside a sprawling lakefront mansion in New Orleans. The perp? Detective Reed Ware, model cop turned outlaw. After receiving a panicked call from Hollis "Holly" Bayard, a teenage street tough with a penchant for amateur sleuthing who stumbles upon the scene of a drug-deal-turned-murder, Ware finds his and his friend's lives in dire danger. The crime Holly witnessed could be the biggest police cover-up this side of New Orleans - and no one's talking.

Driven to desperate measures to uncover the truth, Ware stages a coup at a Christmas party for the New Orleans elite, including the mayor, the council chairman, the sheriff, and the superintendent of police, who just happens to be hostage negotiator Caroline Wallace's estranged father. Cool, calm, controlled. That's Caroline's reputation.

But when she's brought in to talk Ware off the proverbial ledge, she realizes no amount of false promises is going to placate this man, who looks even hotter than he did years ago when 17-year-old Caroline tried to seduce him. It was his duty to protect her family then. Now it's her turn…if she can think fast enough over the pounding of her heart. When Caroline becomes wrapped up in the drama, it's clear the sizzling tension she shared with Ware never let up. And the harder she tries to defuse the situation, the more she begins to wonder whose side she's really on.

Enough Already

The plot line was a good one and I enjoyed the characters. There were some good twist at the end.
However, way to much time was spent on the sexual and relationship angst. It was almost like authorbused it as a filler to make the story longer. I was starting to roll my eyes over Reid and Caroline's going on and on about how they wanted each other but just couldn't have a relationship.

steamy

this book is so hot it will set you on fire! Intense from start to finish, with great romance peppered in.

Hard to get through

I really enjoyed the storyline of this book, for the most part. I felt like the author droned on and on about the characters sexual tension. It went on so much that I started skipping through those parts. In a couple of spots, I could fast forward a full minute and a half while she still droned on and on about the topic. I get it. They are attracted to each other. You could probably shave two hours off this book if we took out those parts. The narrators voices and performances were good and I didn’t mind that part of it at all.

Dull

This was not Ms Robards' best. Not enough suspense. I kept wanting to say, just get it on. It took her forever for them to mate (smile). But I will keep reading/listening to her books because I know there are better ones out there.

Need more suspense along with the romance.

Great book

Another great book by Karen Robards. I love the suspense she has in her books. I loved the narrators. Just a great read.
