I have also had a chance to review SNAPPED, book 4 in Laura Griffin's Tracers series.

The excitement starts on page three and doesn't let up until the very end.

She can trust no one, not even her handsome new bodyguard. But the heat that flares between them is impossible to resist. Will giving in to passion bring her the safety she's always craved, or will her love for Tucker draw him into a killer's sights?

Forced to work together to survive, Angie and Dare must confront hard feelings, a blinding storm, and a growing attraction while being stalked by a desperate killer and a ferocious five- hundred-pound beast.

IN SECONDS, by Brenda Novak, is the exciting continuation of the story started in Inside. Laurel Hodges and her children are on the run from a prison gang and have changed identities twice. She's finally found peace and stability in the small town of Pineview, Montana. But just when Laurel thinks she and her children are safe...the nightmare starts all over again.
