Christy Reece? She has three books--two of them out: No Chance, Second Chance and Last Chance (comes out April 27). If you've read her books, did you like them? Hate them? Details! I'm wondering if I should get them.
BTW--WAVES! I've missed you guys :)
OMG Anne
ReplyDeleteChristy is a-mazing. Brilliantly done rom. susp. Just the right balance of hot romance & suspense & she's a genius when it comes to villains. I would start with the first trilogy though (Rescue Me, Return To me & Run To Me). These could be stand-alones but it's about characters with LCR Last Chance recovery & each book mentions prior characters a little. I was lucky enough to find her with the first 2 just before the 3rd one came out & didn't have to wait. Just waiting for #6 in a few weeks. You're so lucky you can read them all without waiting. Start with the first one. you will not regret it. I challenge you to find one bad review. Her books always have 4 - 4 1/2 star HOT rating at Romantic Times Magazine (2 were top picks). Second Chance hit The NYT bestseller list.
Awesome! Thank you Mary! I am looking up her first trilogy right now! Woot!
ReplyDeleteOkay, here's a different opinion! I bought the first trilogy all at once after reading glowing reviews. I read Rescue Me and I hated it. I didn't believe the set up, I thought the heroine did lots and lots of stupid things and I didn't believe she was as kick-ass as I was told because she didn't demonstrate it - she needed saving all the time. It could have been more, the premise had a great deal of potential and it is the sort of thing that I would usually like. I didn't like the sequel baiting and I didn't like how Noah (the boss of LCR) disappeared in the middle of the book just so the hero could stand in as the boss for a while and create some tension with the heroine. I just didn't buy it. The further I read, the less I believed.
ReplyDeleteNow, it's possible I was having a bad hair day or something but I really didn't like this book. Maybe if I hadn't hated the set up so much I would have been more forgiving. I mean, I really enjoyed the Tara Janzen series and it's not like she's super believable right? But this one? Not for me.
I'm not planning on reading the other 2 which are sitting in pristine condition in my bookshelf. Given that I paid $18AUD for each book, I'm a little sad about that!
This is only my opinion of course. YMMV.
But, anyone who'll pay the postage can have my copies free.
Hi Anne
ReplyDeleteI was also going to tell you that her writing is very smart.

So interesting to read your take. I totally get it about the suspension of belief. I've read some rom. susp. where they are fighting terrorism, drug lords etc & still have time for great sex but I love this genre anyway. Funnily enough, where you see sequel baiting, I'm happy there are more books. Once I find an author I like, I look for more.
