RUN TO ME is the fourth book in Cynthia Eden's exciting
Lazarus
Rising series. Cynthia Eden puts her own unique
spin on the billionaire trope. In RUN TO ME, a female
super soldier with no memories is forced to rely on
someone when she's not sure who she can trust. Cynthia
Eden excels at putting the reader and main characters off
balance. Like a good magician, Cynthia Eden uses the art
of misdirection like a master so that the villain appears
to come out of nowhere.
The Lazarus Project and those associated with creating,
funding, or running it have damaged a lot of lives. Tech
billionaire Jay Maverick harbors some guilt for the part
he played in funding it. By providing the financial
backing for the Lazarus Project, Jay became an unwitting
accomplice to every dark deed that was done. It
especially hits home for him now, because the woman who
has quickly become the center of his universe was one of
Lazarus' victims. Willow has no memories, but she knows
she is incredibly attracted to Jay. I like the
interesting dynamic of having the heroine stronger
physically than the hero. Even though she may not need
Jay for physical support, he quickly becomes Willow's
rock of emotional support as she is bombarded by
confusing half-memories. The mysterious killer and Jay's
unstable ex provide an extra dose of excitement to the
romance, without obscuring it. As Willow struggles with
figuring out her identity and who to trust, she and Jay
set the pages aflame with their torrid trysts.
RUN TO ME is perfect for romance fans who like their
erotic wow with a side of danger. This book has a hero
who is part suave billionaire and part sweet geek. Willow
is a strong yet vulnerable heroine who is capable of
saving herself and the hero. I am not normally a suspense
fan, but I love Cynthia Eden's books because she expertly
balances the chills and thrills with the out-of-this-
world sexiness. I eagerly await Cynthia Eden's next book.
Jennings “Jay” Maverick is a tech billionaire. He has the
world at his feet, and he thinks he can buy anything…but he
can’t buy her. One look at the mysterious Willow, and Jay
knows that he is a goner. He wants to give her anything and
everything she desires, but he’s the man responsible for the
pain in Willow’s life, and getting close to her—well, that’s
not going to be easy.
Her life is a nightmare that she can’t escape.
Willow woke up in one of the “Lazarus” research facilities.
She now has increased strength, incredible speed, and some
scary psychic bonuses. Because of the danger associated with
her new gifts, she’s afraid to touch anyone. One touch from
her, and a man’s darkest fears will seemingly turn into
reality. But Jay isn’t afraid of her touch. Instead, he
seems to…crave it. To crave her.
She can’t trust him, and he won’t let her go.
Willow knows that Jay has been involved with Lazarus in the
past, but he swears he only wants to help her. She never
expects the white-hot desire that burns between them, a
desire that grows more with every moment that passes. Thrust
together as allies, Willow finds herself wanting to put her
faith in Jay, wanting to find someone she can rely on, but
Jay may still be keeping secrets from her. Secrets that
could get them both killed.
