Angel Silva grew up on the wrong side of the tracks but is desperate to escape that life. She wants to break free of her dangerous brother and his gang but when she meets the new recruit, Tonio Reyes she feels even more trapped. She knows the sexy man isn't what he seems to be but when she learns the truth that he is Tonio Salvatore ... a cop, she is forced to go ON THE RUN for her life.
Instead of taking her into custody Tonio finds himself risking his career to keep her safe. As they spend more time together he realizes something else. He is willing to risk his very life to keep her free.
ON THE RUN is an amazing, fast paced, suspense-filled read. It starts out a little differently; giving a hint of the ending then it goes back to five weeks earlier where we get to meet Tonio and Angel. I have to admit that the prologue did take a bit of the spark out of the suspense for me, but it also made me wonder how he got where he was so no real damage. Tonio and Angel's attraction is immediate with a lot of wild and steamy moments as well as tender ones. The bad guy is really bad and everything he deals with is dark and gritty and I couldn't figure out how Angel, who underneath it all is a sweetheart, could be related to him. Author Jo Davis continues her Sugarland Blues series with ON THE RUN and manages to keep the action fresh, the characters down-to-earth with the camaraderie among the Blues team very evident and stronger than ever. Good read Ms. Davis, keep them coming.
